Case Study: Tinder achieves 30% faster development cycles and improved global user experience with HeadSpin

Tinder finds and resolves bugs and issues by 30% with HeadSpin

Tinder, the global social app with users in 196 countries, faced inconsistent user experiences across markets due to limited actionable data from virtualized tests, long release-fix cycles, and wide variation in devices and network conditions. Tinder’s CTO Maria Zhang and her engineering team needed real-world visibility to quickly identify and prioritize issues so they could deliver a consistent experience worldwide, and they turned to HeadSpin’s testing/mobile experience platform to do it.

HeadSpin provided Tinder with access to real devices and networks (22,000 devices in more than 150 locations) so engineers could reproduce, trace, and fix problems faster; this led to 30% faster development cycles, a 5x reduction in data requirements for a specific bug, and improved user experience in key markets. HeadSpin’s concrete, global performance insights let Tinder prioritize and resolve issues pre- and post-release, shortening discovery and remediation time and increasing confidence in new releases.
