Challenge

Development and testing on a tight schedule

Apple’s inter­nal soft­ware devel­op­ment and test­ing teams were behind sched­ule on the antic­i­pat­ed release of the Beats Pill+ Blue­tooth Audio Speak­er and Com­pan­ion App. They need­ed an on-site team capa­ble of full-stack devel­op­ment across the mobile App (iOS and Android native) and sup­port­ing back­end sys­tem, while pro­vid­ing mar­ket lead­ing expe­ri­ence in Blue­tooth con­nec­tiv­i­ty. On top of this? Wrap every­thing up with a for­mal QA test­ing process backed by a ded­i­cat­ed team of QA Engineers.

It’s the small­est details that mat­ter. When you’re lim­it­ed by screen real estate and bat­tery life, you need a spe­cial set of engi­neer­ing skills to build a pow­er­ful solu­tion on Apple’s small­est screen.
