Case Study: BANDAI NAMCO Studios achieves standardized, automated real-device smartphone app testing with HeadSpin

Bandai Namco - Customer Case Study

Bandai Namco Studios faced fragmented QA across multiple app development teams, with all test cases executed manually, lacking technical specifications and causing PDCA cycles to depend heavily on manpower. To standardize testing and build an automated real-device regression capability (CYCLO-X), Bandai Namco engaged HeadSpin to provide device management, window remote control for iOS/Android, analytics, and support for an Appium-based automation environment.

HeadSpin’s platform and engineering support were integrated into Bandai Namco’s CYCLO-X stack (OpenSTF, Sikuli, Robot Framework, Jenkins), enabling centralized real-device regression testing, automated test execution, and clear disclosure of results. The implementation standardized QA processes across projects, reduced the manual testing workload and reliance on ad‑hoc manpower, and accelerated PDCA cycles by making automated, measurable test runs part of regular development operations.
