Case Study: Barfoot & Thompson achieves faster, lower-risk iPad app releases with Planit Digital QA

How Barfoot & Thompson ensured the quality of its iOS app via our scalable, on-demand Digital QA delivery model

Barfoot & Thompson, New Zealand's largest privately-owned real estate company, required regular regression testing for its innovative iPad app to support a busy schedule of updates. With a small internal IT team focused on other initiatives, they lacked the specialized resources and in-house capability to manage the frequent testing cycles demanded by their iterative development approach, creating a significant challenge for their release schedule.

Planit addressed this by implementing its scalable, on-demand Digital QA solution. This provided Barfoot & Thompson with a flexible, cost-effective team of experienced testers who executed approximately 350 test cases in each 4-5 day cycle. The solution minimized post-launch defects, freed the internal IT team to focus on new business initiatives, and ultimately provided a time-to-market advantage over competitors, ensuring the high quality of the widely-used app.
