Duel Smart Traffic

Smart Traffic app is a service that assists travelers in dealing with the inconvenience of road traffic. This is a GPS app to show traffic issues on familiar routes for commuters and provide useful information on roadblocks and heavily congested routes to help them make better-educated decisions about the best way to their destination (it is not for navigation like Waze or Google maps).

The customer desires to conduct real-life testing in North America of their navigation mobile application under real-life conditions, with 100+ drivers, while driving to the chosen destination, using the recommended routes.

The client is located in Italy, and thus, has no access to USA/Mexico drivers with their own cars to perform the required testing. Further, this type of testing by no means could be executed by an in-house QA team since the scope required not only to conduct the test of the mobile application itself but also to go through the entire process of GPS rides: laying routes, finding various points on the map, identifying traffic jams and accidents on the route and designating the shortest and best route. It was important to cover as many test points as possible that the application could cover. One of the most difficult challenges was to find as many available testers in hard-to-reach places (some less populated regions).

The complex need to use 100+ real drives with own cars, while performing functionality, usability, and location-based testing was a perfect fit for the Ubertesters crowdtesting service.

Crowdsourced testing was the only possible way to meet the set of these strict requirements. With a large and trusted testers’ community that is spread all over the world, Ubertesters was able to build the right team, with their own vehicles, for this complicated test project that included driving around, performing other test requirements, and executing different test cases while meeting the strict deadlines as presented by the client.
