The challenge
Getting support for growth
MyFitnessPal—a worldwide known health and fitness app—after hitting the 200 million active user mark, faced a challenge that the existing system couldn’t support rapid growth. They needed a scalable QA infrastructure to handle multiple platforms, languages, and device types without sacrificing speed and quality.
The path to faster and more frequent releases of the app while maintaining high-quality standards required a robust testing strategy that would minimize the risk of software defects and ensure a stable, reliable app performance.
The approach
Maximum optimization and automation for high quality at scale
With over 200M+ users requiring special handling and care to maintain integrity, MyFitnessPal adopted a custom QA process called Continuous QA based on industry best practices, CI methodology, and development lifecycle specifics. To boost the development speed of automated tests, Solvd introduced their proprietary mobile test automation framework, Carina, which enabled 80% code reuse between iOS and Android test cases.
The next step was to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with testing on multiple device types. To do so, MyFitnessPal implemented a mobile testing cloud, which enabled the cases to run 24/7 on 30 mobile devices in the multithreaded grid. This solution included both software and hardware layers and provided the complete infrastructure required to execute the automated tests.
