TV operator Vodafone Spain, with 1.3M subscribers,
has evolved from a classical linear proposition to
a complete entertainment offer including more than 200
channels and thousands of contents comprising Catch-up VoD and
third-party providers like Netflix, HBO or AXN.
The problem
Vodafone Spain has a powerful
content aggregation strategy and a wide range of devices
and backends. Vodafone is also constantly incorporating
new content, devices and functionality to the service.
This exponential combination of factors to deal with,
triggers the complexity of the ecosystem that surrounds the
service making testing a challenge.
Solution and outcome
Optiva Media deploys QAltiva
in Vodafone Spain. QAltiva delivers tested devices and
applications improving the time-to-market and increasing user satisfaction,
thanks to the fast and thorough issues identification.
Testing became cost effective due to automation,
reliability and consistency of the analysis
reported by QAltiva. Lead time for launching
new functionalities or newly ingested content,
has been reduced significatively keeping
Vodafone one-step ahead of their competition.
QAltiva´s automated testing now ensures the correct
performance of Vodafone TV apps and devices to
guarantee the best user experience.

Atresmedia
Atresmedia is a leading TV broadcaster and communications
group based in Spain. With more than 30 years of history,
they have adapted their offer to the new TV consumption habits
with their video platform Atresplayer.
The problem
With the challenges
that SVOD and AVOD consumption models imply and the
importance of keeping Atresmedia as a referent in
quality of TV service, it was necessary to make
Atresplayer more robust and stable, reducing all
ossible incidences and refining platform behaviour.
Besides, Atresplayer considered that a more intuitive
and user-friendly platform would lead to the best
user experience across all mobile devices,
web browser and Smart TV’s.
Solution and outcome
Atresmedia
trusted QAltiva as their multi-device testing service,
anticipating and detecting different issues and performance
incidences related to the architecture and service development
that might affect the user experience of Atresplayer.
As a result, Atresplayer is one of the most reliable
and usable platforms in the market, providing with
a consistent and free of errors experience to their
users across the different devices, and maintaining
the reputation of Atresmedia brand at the
top of the current TV scene.

HBO Spain
HBO Spain is a premium video on demand
subscription service. Its offer includes
TV series, premieres from other studios,
and also a selection of films, not only
Hollywood productions but also
internationally and locally produced
films and independent studios.
Problem
HBO develops the application
centrally and they are then localized for deployment in
the different countries. Having such an important number
of different end-user devices difficulted HBO
Spain to deploy new versions
of the applications in due time.
Solution and outcome
HBO trusted QAltiva
to ensure the quality and consistency of all
their new functionalities across all the devices.
Since 2016, Optiva Media provides quality assurance
for all the different HBO applications on the
spanish market, such as Smart TV’s, Set-Top-Boxes,
mobile devices (Android and iOS), PlayStation,
Chromecast and web browsers. HBO’s brand
reputation is protected when deploying performant and
Qaltiva-approved applications.
