90% of Paessler's QA is self served - the QA engineer’s tasks have been slashed from about an hour a day to 30 seconds, a 120x speed increase

Every branch gets tested, it’s built into the pipeline. As soon as you commit your code, the whole process kicks off to get it tested. The amount of effort involved in actually getting to the newest version that you’re supposed to be testing, whether you’re a developer or a QA engineer, is minimized immensely.
