Success Story
WIKO Smartphone Obtains Highest Performance Scores Leveraging viSer Test Automation
When developing new smartphones featuring the latest technologies, with battery autonomy, you can rely on them all day and longer; WIKO needed reliable, objective testing and expertise on Smartphone Battery Life and Performance provided by SmartViser.
​
WIKO was looking for a team of experts with a testing automation solution who can collaborate with their in-house team, allowing them to test, monitor, benchmark, troubleshoot, and measure to offer superior Quality of Experience and Quality of Service to their end-users for one of the most critical aspects “Battery Performance.”
​

SUCCESS STORY OVERVIEW
CHALLENGES
​
-
The first challenge WIKO faced was by the R&D department, with much effort devoted to finding innovations to further improve battery life for end-users.
​​
-
WIKO was looking to improve its test results’ analyses obtained from an accurate and repeatable method capable of overriding human error and subjectivity to promote its proven battery performances further.
-
Finally, WIKO found that significant improvements were being made, and they were looking for objective proof to reassure consumers, the press and retailers of the superior battery capacity and performance.
​

SOLUTION
​
-
The Test Automation, viSer, was implemented in the R&D centre, so they could start testing battery performance earlier in the development circle.
​
-
viSer, also provided valuable information in the analytics dashboard that visually tracks, analyses, and displays the power discharge rate. With more precise insights into what’s happening, the R&D team were able to improve specific areas.
​
-
After development, the final product arrived in the ViserMark lab to be assessed and scored. Testing was carried out in an independent testing environment by the ViserMark technical team. All activities are performed under strictly controlled test conditions, fully automated in a defined order and timeline.
