The Challenge

Seeking Alpha was experiencing a rapid expansion of its user base and needed to keep up with the growing user expectations. As their product roadmap extended, the need for accelerated delivery and more streamlined app releases became critical.

To develop new features, Seeking Alpha needed rigorous testing and quality assurance capabilities. However, their app release schedule was falling behind user expectations. To bridge this gap, Seeking Alpha required a robust testing infrastructure and a dedicated team to ensure on-time and smoother app releases.
