Project summary
We partnered with Inthegame, the global leader in viewer interaction and monetization technology for TV, mobile, and web platforms, to ensure their innovative interactive overlay solution met the highest quality standards.
By conducting comprehensive QA testing and process improvements, we delivered a robust and reliable platform that supports seamless user interaction, engages audiences, and drives monetization across multiple platforms.
The client’s request
The client required a reliable QA partner to ensure their platform’s stability and functionality while supporting their mission to enhance the viewing experience. Our team was hired to cover the following responsibilities:
- Verifying that platform requirements were consistently met across all supported devices and operating systems.
- Conducting comprehensive functional and non-functional testing.
- Performing cross-platform, performance, and localization testing.
- Debugging the app on various IDEs, including Android Studio, Xcode, Tizen Studio, and WebOS IDE.
- Improving the QA and development processes through enhanced collaboration and testing documentation.
- Creating and managing testing documentation, including test plans, checklists, test cases, and bug reports.
The challenge that we faced
The project presented two primary challenges:
- Ensuring stable server connections between ITG servers and client applications, particularly under high user loads, to provide seamless content delivery to all users.
- Functional testing of the client application to confirm that interactive content met design and requirement standards while functioning perfectly across all supported platforms and operating systems.
Solutions we provided
To address these challenges, our team applied technical expertise and a methodical approach:
- Testing and debugging:
- Created regression and smoke suites to validate app functionality before each release.
- Performed cross-platform testing to confirm consistent performance on all supported devices and operating systems.
- Expanded development environment tools to enable real-time debugging and faster bug localization, including running simulators as needed.
- Performance testing:
- Developed performance testing scripts in JMeter and K6 to evaluate server capacity under high user loads.
- Deployed Azure and AWS virtual machines to run performance tests, ensuring infrastructure met acceptance criteria.
- Documentation and process improvements:
