Signal-Based Plays

Outbound Play Breakdown

PLAY 01 · QA Hiring Signal Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: Target account posts 3 or more QA Engineer, SDET, or Test Automation Engineer roles simultaneously on LinkedIn or job boards

What We Do

Companies aggressively hiring QA headcount are experiencing testing scale pain that scriptless automation solves faster and cheaper than new hires. We target the VP of Engineering and Director of QA at these accounts with messaging anchored to the cost of manual QA scaling.

PLAY 02 · Selenium Tech Stack Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: Account's tech stack shows active use of Selenium, TestNG, or JUnit alongside a CI/CD tool like Jenkins or GitHub Actions, indicating legacy automation debt

What We Do

Selenium users are maintaining brittle, high-maintenance test scripts at scale. We reach Director of QA and SDET Managers at these accounts with messaging around eliminating script maintenance and increasing automation coverage without additional coding resources.

PLAY 03 · Competitor Follower Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: LinkedIn users follow or engage with Curiosity Software, Smartesting, Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer, or Eggplant Test pages, signaling active evaluation of test automation tools

What We Do

Prospects actively following ConformIQ competitors are in or near a buying cycle for AI-driven test automation. We scrape competitor page followers and target QA Directors and VPs who match ICP criteria with differentiation messaging around deterministic AI test generation versus rule-based or scripted alternatives.
