Case Study: SoundCloud improves mobile quality and speeds release cycles with test IO

SoundCloud - Customer Case Study

SoundCloud, the world’s largest music platform, needed to keep its rapidly growing mobile apps reliable as usage shifted from web to mobile and the company explored new monetization models like advertising and subscriptions. To support its fast Android release cycle and ensure a flawless listening experience across many devices and regions, SoundCloud turned to test IO for mobile functional and usability testing.

With test IO’s on-demand human testers and real-device coverage, SoundCloud could launch test cycles overnight, specify device/OS/language/geographic requirements, and get actionable bug reports by the next morning. In its first tests alone, test IO helped uncover more than 150 bugs across 144 devices in 22 countries, including 11 critical issues, improving quality, reducing QA bottlenecks, and helping SoundCloud release new features and ad formats with greater confidence.
