Project Summary
Solvd Inc overhauled QA for a health and fitness community, adding extensive automation and providing manual testing across iOS, Android, and a Ruby on Rails web app that later moved to React. Their work sped up development, increased quality, and enabled a denser release schedule. The engagement ran from September 2012 to February 2015 and included development support as the client was acquired and responsibilities expanded.

Project Solution
Solvd implemented and improved the client's QA process by performing manual testing and building automated test suites over time. They supported testing across iOS, Android and a Ruby on Rails web application (later migrated to a React frontend) and eventually provided development support. The team accommodated US hours by shifting resources and became responsible for the client's apps and sites following the company's acquisition.
Project Outcome
- The added automation sped up development and testing
- Product quality improved
- Release schedule became much denser
- Vendor provided strong project management and responsiveness
- Team accommodated US hours and supported ongoing maintenance after acquisition
