## 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.

## Challenges

## Solutions

 

 Challenges Rapid Development Timeline with Weekly Releases

 

Found needed to [develop apps for both iOS and Android](/services/software-development/mobile-development). With only **two months to launch**, Found needed to push frequent releases while maintaining the stability and performance of its mobile apps.



 

 Solutions Comprehensive QA Strategy

 

[Our QA experts](/services/software-development/qa-software-testing) 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.



 

 

 Challenges 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.



 

 Solutions 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.



 

 

 Challenges 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.



 

 Solutions 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.



 

 

 Challenges 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.



 

 Solutions 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.

### 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](https://stage.spiralscout.com/case/spiral-scout-multi-agent-system)**, 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](../../case/mobile-app-development-for-healthcare-startup) 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.
