SWOOVE <> GATTACA

”We needed a QA partner who could start testing right after a feature was
developed, fit well with our workflow, and deliver results fast. Gattaca is the
partner we were searching for”

— Claudiu Matei, CTO @ Swoove

Background

 * Swoove is on a mission to democratize 3D animation. The goal is a powerful
   and user-friendly animation platform. A space where you can unleash
   imagination, freely. 

 * Swoove team is fast and ships new builds several times a week 
   
   

 * Claudiu is an experienced software architect and CTO at Swoove. Claudiu
   understood the impact QA can have on user retention, release speed, and on
   freeing up core engineering and product teams.

Pain points

 * Release speed was hampered: Swoove team is ambitious and ships builds daily,
   but QA and issue triage between builds slows down releases to production. 

 * Not enough time: Swoove team works hard to deliver on their vision, but has
   limited resources. There is not enough time to both deliver on the roadmap
   (shipping new features) and to test core app flows (dealing with regressions
   and bug triage)

 * Missed issues compound: Bugs trickle down from release to release and
   compound. This increases cost to fix to a point where releases might be
   blocked. 

Solution

 * Swoove team decided to partner with Gattaca to help accelerate Swoove,
   increase app quality to drive retention, and save valuable time of
   engineering and product leaders. 

 * Gattaca did a custom integration for Swoove, without distracting Swoove from
   their core work. Swoove team was able to get to 95% UX test coverage. 
   
   

 * As a result, Swoove team can ship with greater confidence, knowing that a
   number of issues are fixed and 100s of test runs have been performed on each
   build.


WORKING WITH OTHER QA VENDORS IN THE PAST DID NOT DELIVER RESULTS

Before Swoove and Gattaca engaged in a partnership, Swoove team shared that
they’ve previously worked with two QA vendors. Each time they were disappointed
in quality and responsiveness. With Gattaca, the feedback loop and level of care
is different.


ZERO-INTEGRATION SERVICE MADE IT EASY

Swoove engaged with Gattaca during a busy month. Spending valuable Product Owner
and Developer time on an integration was not an option. Spending valuable time
on maintaining tests (something that is common in other solutions) was also not
an option. Gattaca handled 100% of the integration and test maintenance when
things broke, enabling the Swoove team to focus on their roadmap.

”Test automation was a key need for us. And having a team that could also lead
QA, suggest better tech and processes was a huge advantage”


KEEPING UP WITH THE SPEED

Swoove team is fast. Daily releases, new features, a bold vision. Whether it is
coverage of esoteric scenarios or regular regression testing, Gattaca was able
to match Swoove speed despite being in a different timezone.


SAVING VALUABLE DEVELOPER AND PRODUCT OWNER ENERGY ALLOWED SWOOVE TEAM TO FOCUS
ON HIGHER PRIORITY ISSUES

Before working with Gattaca a non-trivial % of the team's time was spent on
logging issues, reproducing bugs, and triaging issues. There are two core
problems here that are now solved. First, all of those hours are now spent on
driving features and high priority internal tasks. Second, there is a
significant amount of time lost when developers and product owners break their
workflow to test the app or to triage the issue. Now the Swoove team has more
energy to drive their vision forward.


FINDING A TRUE DEVELOPER PARTNER

Initial objective was a reliable testing partner, but Swoove found a developer
partner in Gattaca. For example, Swoove team and Gattaca partnered on solutions
to engineering questions such as building a performant video feed on mobile or a
custom system to test rendering pipeline for each digital asset.

”Our main goal was to cut down cycle time. Having a QA team that quickly adapted
and delivered results helped us spend less time finding and fixing issues, so we
could ship faster.”
