Business challenges

As our client released one of its hit television series in Latin America, the surge in viewership surpassed its technology systems’ capacity, resulting in widespread issues on the streaming platform. Subscribers throughout the region reported problems such as error pages, login failures, loading screens freezing, and frequent stream interruptions. To ensure uninterrupted revenue flow from the popular show and to prevent future occurrences, the client sought a partner who could:

1

Provide rapid performance testing to ensure the availability of the hit show.

2

Identify issues affecting key streaming user touchpoints, including login, authentication, and content loading and viewing.

3

Deliver an ongoing QA and validation service that could scale with its weekly backlogs.

4

Reduce the operating cost of the technological elements in scope.
