Overview
Supercell, renowned for its engaging mobile games, launched a promotional website for Squad Busters, designed to captivate fans and showcase the game’s dynamic features. This project emphasized delivering a seamless and visually compelling user experience across all devices while ensuring the site’s functionality aligned with the high standards Supercell is known for. The QA efforts were integral to achieving this vision, with a focus on thorough testing and stakeholder collaboration to maintain quality.
Challenges
The project’s complexity lies in balancing innovative design with practical usability. The site needed to maintain flawless functionality across a range of devices and browsers, presenting unique challenges like ensuring cross-platform compatibility and consistent UI rendering. Verifying the effectiveness of CTAs and identifying performance bottlenecks were also crucial aspects. Additionally, real-time collaboration with stakeholders requires efficient communication and adaptability to evolving requirements.
Solution & Strategy
To meet these challenges, we implemented a structured QA strategy that encompassed various testing methodologies. Our approach included:
Cross-Device Testing: Ensuring the website is rendered correctly on both mobile and desktop platforms without any visual or functional inconsistencies.
UI Integrity Checks: Verify the presence and alignment of UI elements, ensuring that design elements are consistent and responsive across devices.
Functional Testing: Testing every interactive element, including buttons, links, and forms, to confirm their proper functionality.
Performance Testing: Generating and analyzing detailed performance reports to evaluate the site’s responsiveness under different user loads.
Usability Testing: Detecting potential friction points in the user journey and suggesting actionable improvements.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Engaging with developers, project managers, and stakeholders to align on expectations and resolve issues efficiently.
Testing Process
Our Extensive QA process involved the following steps:
Environment Setup: Testing began in a dedicated staging environment, allowing us to safely identify and address issues before deployment.
Defect Identification and Reporting: Each defect was extensively documented with detailed descriptions, steps to reproduce, and relevant screenshots or logs. This documentation facilitated smooth communication with the development team and ensured timely resolution.
Regression Testing: Repeated testing of resolved issues ensured no regressions occurred in subsequent builds.
Content Verification: We checked for accuracy and consistency in all site content, ensuring that every piece of information aligned with Supercell’s branding and marketing goals.
3D Visualization Assessment: Special attention was given to the site’s 3D visuals, ensuring they rendered flawlessly without lag or distortion. This was particularly important in maintaining the immersive experience Supercell aimed to deliver.
Key Highlights
One of the standout features of this project was the site’s ability to immerse users in a 3D view of Squad Buster’s universe. The integration of cutting-edge visual elements required additional focus on ensuring clarity and smooth rendering. Comprehensive device-specific testing helped deliver an optimal viewing experience, whether accessed on a mobile device or a desktop.
Moreover, every issue encountered during testing—whether related to layout, broken CTAs, or performance bottlenecks—was tracked diligently using bug-tracking tools. This level of attention to detail helped create a site that aligned with both technical and aesthetic expectations.
Conclusion
The QA process for the Squad Buster promotional website ensured a flawless and engaging experience for Supercell’s global audience. By identifying and resolving bugs, performance issues, and UI inconsistencies, we helped deliver a promotional platform that showcased the game’s unique appeal.
