Livestream Testing and Monitoring with Testlio

Like producing television programs and live events, testing and monitoring a livestream event requires the rapid formation of a connected team of experts.

Our quality assurance testing team works with you to craft a testing and development plan tailored to your livestream broadcast. You gain a partner to both develop and execute your testing strategy.

Planning stage considerations

Is VPN an option to simulate locations?

What platforms are we covering and will logs/analytic tracking be required?

Are there pre and post requirements for review?

What locations are we covering or does location matter?

What feedback is the most useful? (i.e., persistent network branding vs. stream health)?

What level of escalation will we need for the event?

Will any purchasing be needed before or during testing?
