Case Study: Skyscanner achieves global QA coverage and faster time-to-market with Applause

Skyscanner - Customer Case Study

Skyscanner is a global travel metasearch used by roughly 50 million monthly users. Rapid growth and a fast-paced engineering cadence created a QA challenge: bugs were occasionally reaching production, market-specific (localized) features needed validation in many countries, and working with third-party vendors risked disjointed communication and extra overhead.

Since partnering with Applause in 2013, Skyscanner stood up international test cycles within days and adopted nightly exploratory tests with direct integration into its workflow. The result: coverage across 84 countries and 1,200+ device configurations, expansion from “critical-only” to “all issues” testing, faster build-to-market cycles, and measurable improvements in QA efficiency and defect discovery.
