About the Project
Found, a leading healthcare and weight-loss startup, is redefining the industry by providing evidence-based, personalized programs that make lasting health improvements more accessible. As the company expanded, it needed to rapidly launch its iOS and Android applications to support a growing user base while maintaining its high standards for quality and usability.
With a tight two-month deadline, Found turned to Spiral Scout to establish a dedicated QA team and implement a comprehensive mobile testing strategy to guarantee seamless functionality, third-party integration, and exceptional user experience.
Objectives
- Develop iOS and Android apps within a tight two-month deadline.
- Establish a dedicated QA team and processes for frequent app releases.
- Ensure seamless integration with third-party applications like Apple Health and Google Fit.
- Maintain high-quality standards and usability improvements.

Rapid Development Timeline with Weekly Releases
Found needed to develop apps for both iOS and Android. With only two months to launch, Found needed to push frequent releases while maintaining the stability and performance of its mobile apps.
Comprehensive QA Strategy
Our QA experts implemented agile QA processes, integrating testing at every stage of development. This included automated key regression tests to prevent bugs from reappearing while keeping release cycles short. We did this by creating a t-shirt sizing estimation system to prioritize bug fixes and feature rollouts efficiently.
Ensuring Third-Party Integration Stability
The app needed to sync data seamlessly with Apple Health, Google Fit, and other third-party platforms, requiring extensive compatibility and integration testing.
Establishing QA Processes
We conducted API and integration testing to verify accurate data synchronization. Then developed end-to-end test scenarios for third-party interactions, catching and preventing discrepancies before production. And last we used real-device testing on iOS and Android to validate performance across different OS versions.
Maintaining High Performance & Usability Standards
As a high-touch health and wellness app, Found needed an intuitive, fast, and bug-free experience for users navigating their weight-loss journeys.
Complete QA Analysis and Plan
We performed real and cloud device testing (via BrowserStack) to ensure smooth functionality across different mobile devices and OS versions. We established a comprehensive regression testing checklist to catch UI/UX inconsistencies and functional issues before deployment and then delivered detailed usability feedback that led to enhancements in app navigation and accessibility.
Monitoring and Adapting to OS Versions
When we started we didn’t have any data and metrics so we needed to adapt to the most popular OS versions among users to ensure compatibility and performance.
OS Version Monitoring
We monitored customer OS version statistics monthly using DataDog, and made sure that we were testing on the most popular OS versions with real and cloud devices.
our quality assurance strategy
Overview of the critical steps that shaped the project’s success and addressed its key challenges.
Comprehensive Test Strategy
Developed a structured approach to testing, covering functional, regression, integration, and performance testing to ensure every feature met Found’s quality standards.
Real-World Device Testing
Used a combination of physical devices and cloud-based solutions to verify app performance under different conditions, improving user experience across all platforms.
Agile QA Process & Continuous Improvements
We matched our weekly test planning with Founds’ sprint cycles. We regularly updated test cases to adapt to new features and user feedback and provided ongoing reports and analytics to optimize Found’s testing strategy long-term.
Project results
By implementing an agile and automated QA strategy, we help empower Found to deliver a bug-free, high-performance mobile app experience—letting them scale rapidly as they grabbed market share while maintaining product excellence.
We are hoping that with Wippy.ai’s automation capabilities, future test coverage can expand further, enabling even faster and more intelligent testing processes for SaaS businesses needing robust mobile app QA.
As a result of all our efforts, Found successfully released apps for both iOS and Android within a tight deadline, contributing to the company’s impressive growth of more than 500% year-over-year.
Key Outcomes
- Successful iOS & Android Launch Within 2 Months
- Maintained an accelerated release schedule with zero critical bugs in production.
- 500% Year-Over-Year Growth Supported by Stable Apps
- 80% Reduction in Integration Issues
- Established standardized bug reporting and test management systems for ongoing development.
As our application’s complexity increased, the Spiral Scout QA engineers stepped up, managing the details with a proactive and self-driven approach. They’ve been instrumental in filling knowledge gaps and ensuring we stay aligned with our objectives.
