Case studies in action
Launching a global subscription streaming service
In 2020, a subscription streaming-video service launched in five countries with over 20,000 assets across five native app categories. Testlio offered a networked team of testers in each country providing media assurance and quality control by confirming playback and ensuring localization against metadata and subtitles.
Live stream broadcast of largest sporting event of the year
For three years running, Testlio’s streaming media testing team has monitored the Super Bowl for two U.S. media and entertainment networks, on 10+ platforms, across multiple apps for the entire nine-hour event. Testers observed stream health and reviewed tracking calls via Charles and Wireshark while maintaining real-time communication with each network’s live stream production team via Slack.
Understanding user interactions and video performance
A multinational mass media conglomerate needed to validate the integrity of its analytics and sought out Testlio for continuous testing for page, track, and video calls. Leveraging a data integrity testing checklist, we reviewed each call to ensure it matched the metadata requirements and the accurate volume/order of visible calls.
A new level of game progression, localization, and performance testing
A leading mobile game publisher was struggling with localization and performance issues during gameplay progression and within their global chat feature.
To help provide users with a truly compelling and enjoyable gameplay experience, Testlio assigned 40 game testers to conduct exploratory, localization, and performance testing during load out and as they progressed into more difficult levels, missions, worlds, and campaigns.
