Article Summary
Dream11 cut regression testing from multiple days to just one hour. Here's how they rebuilt their entire mobile automation framework from scratch.
The world's largest fantasy sports platform serves millions of users across Android and iOS devices. Their engineering team shares how they solved the scaling nightmare of testing a React Native and native app with massive daily code commits.
Key Takeaways
- Built in-house mock service to eliminate edge service dependencies
- Replaced expensive third-party cloud with custom parallel execution infrastructure
- Achieved nearly 100% automation coverage for high and medium priority tests
- Reduced regression testing from days to one hour per platform
By mocking their edge service and building custom infrastructure, Dream11 slashed regression time by 95% while reaching near-complete test coverage.

What This Article Covers
Dream11's regression testing was slow. Developers from every team had to run comprehensive tests over multiple days, and testing even a single platform's subset of cases took about a day. This created bottlenecks in getting critical feedback.
Dream11 set up server mocking to remove dependencies on edge services. They built their own service execution infrastructure with dedicated hosts and parallel emulators for each team. This replaced the expensive third-party cloud services they'd been using.
Testing time dropped from days down to one hour. The framework also automated nearly all of their high and medium-priority test cases across Android and iOS, eliminating most manual work.
