The Challenge
The streaming platform was launching simultaneously in 12 new markets. Challenges included content delivery optimization across diverse internet infrastructures, DRM compliance for regional content licensing, localization across 8 languages, and handling 3M+ concurrent viewers during premiere events.
Our Solution
We provided comprehensive QA covering video quality validation across adaptive bitrate streams, DRM and content protection testing for each regional license agreement, localization testing including RTL languages, and global CDN performance testing from 40+ geographic locations.
Launching a streaming platform across multiple markets simultaneously is one of the most complex technology deployments in media. Every market has unique content rights, language requirements, and infrastructure challenges.
Our video quality testing included automated perceptual quality assessment across all adaptive bitrate profiles, ensuring viewers got the best possible experience on their connection speed. We tested on 100+ device/browser/OS combinations per market.
DRM testing was market-specific — each country had different content licensing agreements requiring different protection levels. We validated that content restrictions were correctly enforced across geographic boundaries.
Performance testing simulated premiere event traffic patterns, which differ significantly from steady-state usage. The spike testing revealed CDN configuration issues that, once resolved, ensured smooth streaming during the platform’s biggest viewership moments.
