The Client
Our client
is a leading iPhone app developer that introduces more than 100 different new applications a year. To keep up with its competitive advantage our client needed to release a quality apps to the market fast. With a lot of applications in the App Store and the ever evolving iPhone, iPod and iPad devices and OS’s, there is a huge burden on the company to test their applications on real devices connected to real live global network.
The Challenge
Prior to working with RentTesters our client worked with other mobile testing companies. There were two major problems with this approach, however. The first was the recruiting beta testers, you are not necessarily testing on all devices/OS, and recruiting process is slow and painful, and not always a good investment. The second issue was that there was no way to consolidate and leverage the mobile testing expertise aggregated over the years by the QA teams.
The Solution
RentTesters Mobile Testing Experts reviewed application and its design and requirements, and provided proposal with a test approach to a client. We leveraged our expertise in mobile application testing with:
