CASE STUDY
Fertitude, a leading digital health platform focused on women's reproductive health, sought to expand its app's capabilities by introducing a new period tracker feature. To ensure these features met the highest standards of quality and user experience, Fertitude partnered with Propel to initiate a QA-focused closed beta test to identify edge cases and real-world usage scenarios that internal testing often overlooks.
The Challenge
Fertitude needed to validate its period tracking feature before public launch. This phase focused on gathering authentic, actionable feedback from diverse users to assess the usability, accuracy, and trustworthiness — ensuring it met user needs before the open beta launch to the broader community.
Needs
Diverse Testers
Finding a diverse and engaged group of 50 female testers across different demographics.
Uncovering Edge Cases
Identifying edge cases and potential bugs not caught during internal testing.
Real-World Validation
Assessing the robustness and usability of the new features in real-world scenarios.
User Feedback Loop
Gathering comprehensive user feedback to refine the experience before “public beta”.
Solution
Targeted Recruitment:
Recruited 120 testers from female-focused communities, representing varied cycle types, age ranges, and geographic locations. Selected the most engaged 50 for intensive closed beta testing.
Structured Testing Framework
Facilitated structured testing prompts focused on accuracy, interface usability, and support features.
Robust Insight Collection
Collected over 500 quality insights via surveys, real-time feedback prompts, and one-on-one user check-ins.
Actionable Recommendations
Delivered clear, prioritised recommendations based on user sentiment, behavioral data, and usability blockers.
Outcome
Efficient recruitment and management of a highly engaged pool of aligned testers.
100% completion rate among testers
92% expressed continued usage intent post-testing.
93.2% organic referral rate among test participants.
Tester interactions provided Fertitude with comprehensive insights on UX improvements, bug identification, onboarding flow optimisation, device configuration compatibility, product tier accessibility, and feature description clarity to support a wider range of users and user environments.

What our clients say
Working with Propel on our closed beta test was such a fantastic experience. They really understood what we are trying to build and helped us test it in a way that felt thoughtful and organized. The feedback we got from the testers wasn’t just surface-level stuff, we got real insights that helped us make the product better. I really appreciate how easy they were to work with and how committed they were to quality.
