Overview
Collaborating with the Brawl Stars team, our mission was to ensure the event platform delivered a flawless, engaging user experience for a global audience. The platform, designed to support live gaming events, featured essential components like the “How to Compete” page, live video streams, prediction and voting flows, and reward distribution systems. With support for 12 locales, the project demanded precise attention to detail to maintain consistency and functionality across languages and regions. Our role extended beyond testing functionality; it included validating frontend design, backend workflows, and ensuring seamless integration across devices and browsers.
Challenges
The project posed several challenges. These included ensuring the platform functioned seamlessly across all locales, coordinating live testing sessions with developers and project managers, and managing diverse device and browser compatibility. The need for real-time validation of live event flows, including voting, predictions, and rewards, added to the complexity. Addressing language-specific nuances across 12 locales was a critical challenge that required precision to prevent user disruption.
Solution & Strategy
To address these challenges, we adopted a systematic and comprehensive QA strategy. Backend testing focused on validating the integrity of critical functions, while frontend testing ensured UI consistency and usability. Functional testing verified that key features such as login flows, live streams, and rewards worked flawlessly. Non-functional testing assessed performance and load capabilities. Collaborating closely with developers, we resolved issues promptly and ensured the platform’s readiness for live events.
Testing Process
The testing process was rigorous and iterative. It began with initial tests of core pages like the homepage and “How to Compete” section in English. Subsequent phases involved validating functionality across all 12 locales and testing Supercell-supported browsers. Live testing sessions allowed us to identify and address real-time issues during live streams, voting flows, and reward distributions. Detailed documentation of bugs, test cases, and resolutions streamlined communication and ensured comprehensive coverage.
Conclusion
The QA efforts ensured the Brawl Stars Event Platform met the highest standards of reliability and user experience. By thoroughly testing all aspects of the platform and maintaining close collaboration with the development team, we delivered a seamless and engaging event experience for players worldwide. This project exemplified the importance of meticulous QA in creating a robust platform for global audiences.
