Multi-Platform Car Racing Mobile App Testing

Summary

A major motorsport organization that runs auto racing events and a sports-news media platform wanted to launch a multilingual mobile app for tracking racing events online via sports-news broadcasting services. The app had to be tested using real-time results of live events, so the organization engaged INNERLUXES's test engineers. INNERLUXES delivered full-cycle testing across iOS and Android — including concurrent test sessions during live races — and the app went on to surpass a million installs.

About the Client

The Client is a major motorsport organization that produces and sanctions auto racing events across North America and Europe. Strong on the digital media side, the company also runs one of the leading multimedia sports-news platforms.

The Challenge

The Client came up with the idea to create a multilingual mobile application for tracking racing events online using sports-news broadcasting services. The application had to be tested using real-time results of live sporting events, and for this the organization turned to INNERLUXES's test engineers.

The Solution

Developed for the iOS and Android platforms, the application was integrated with sports-news broadcast services and provided a multilingual interface in English and Spanish.

The team carried out functional, regression, and localization testing on different platforms in stable conditions using local test data sets. To test the application with real-time racing events as the source of test data, the team scheduled concurrent test sessions during the races. The app was tested on several devices simultaneously, and the issues revealed were posted to the bug tracking system right away — which also helped verify how well the app was integrated with the broadcasting services.

The project processes and workflows followed the SCRUM methodology, with each sprint lasting from 2 to 3 weeks.

The Results

• INNERLUXES's team of testing engineers successfully delivered test design; functional, regression, and localization testing; test results reporting; and bug review and verification for a multilingual, multi-platform mobile app using real-time racing event data.
• Following the work, the application was released and went on to gain over a million installs and counting.
