Our clients

Dashlane

Dashlane is a leading user-friendly password manager and a secure digital wallet that provides a high level of protection and offers an effective solution to password fatigue. The app’s key feature which makes it different from other password managers is a password changer. It enables users to securely synchronize their data among an unlimited number of devices on all platforms. Dashlane Password Manager also has breach alerts which notify users of any possible security hazards.

Challenge

  • Maintaining the security level by implementation and stabilization of the password changer feature;
  • Testing full redesign of the app on all the platforms;
  • New languages have been added to the app (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Japanese), and this led to a wider array for test coverage.

Solution

  • We chose Agile (Kanban and Scrum) methodology as the most suitable solution for this type of project.
  • We used Redmine and Jira to meet specific and flexible demands of the project and achieve comprehensive results.
  • Zephyr was used to create test suites and test cycles.
  • We used HockeyApp (Android and iOS), SharedBox, TestFlight (iOS) to deploy builds for testing.
  • Custom tools were created to work specifically on the project, maximize productivity, and meet demands of the project.

Results

  • We have performed Functional testing; Compatibility, Regression, Ad-hoc, UI/UX, Validation, and Smoke testing;
  • Cross-platform (iOS, Android, MAC, PC) and cross-browser (Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer) testing;
  • We reported and rechecked all the bugs before deploy;

HuffPost

Formerly The Huffington Post, HuffPost portal was launched May 9, 2005, and very soon it became extremely popular. While one reason for the apparent success of this portal is that their contributors are popular journalists and well-known personalities from politics, business, and entertainment, the other reason is that the development team has been able to provide a technical solution that was up to the challenge.

Challenge

  • Making definite entries appear among the results of running search engines’ queries;
  • Simultaneous maintenance of a large number of users;
  • Quick generation of pages that contain dynamic and static data.

Solution

  • To minimize the number of database queries and to generally improve performance of the server we used the modified MovableType platform, Amazon S3, memcache technology, and Akamai.
  • For subsystem where database queries were slow but memcache couldn’t be used because it wasn’t a persistent storage, the team used Redis NoSQL server.
  • For comments system we used: MySQL with “nested set” data model, then comments system was moved to MongoDB and implemented as a web service.
  • The system was configured for sending 150 000 messages per second. We used websockets and Erlang-based server implementation.
  • We decided to perform Manual, Black-box, Regression testing, and Automated functional testing based on Selenium to ensure high quality of the platform.

Result

  • The site has been featured on the main page of Yahoo several times.
  • The site lives perfectly with 200+k visitors per hour.
  • iOS client for The HuffPost news system works great.
