TESTCo Software Test Engineers teamed up to find creative ways to do more with less

TESTCo Software Test Engineers teamed up to find creative ways to do more with less – and always doing so with a positive attitude. Their commitment to the Journyx R&D team is greatly appreciated. We would be lost without TESTCo, and their hard work will be instrumental in improving conditions this new year.

In addition to the outstanding value we receive, I also genuinely enjoy our weekly stand-up time. The TESTCo team is a pleasure to work with.

The QA Manager is the force of quality improvement behind the scenes

TESTCo’s QA Manager is the force of quality improvement behind the scenes. His ability to collaborate across departments has fostered a culture of working together, where his insights and suggestions have been invaluable in putting AccuBuild on a path to enhance our product development procedures. His guidance and mentorship have not only elevated the quality of work but also began to cultivate a team that is enthusiastic about maintaining excellence.

New level of velocity in each sprint and fewer defects.

The Test Engineer’s contributions as a quality engineer at AccuBuild have been nothing short of exceptional. His dedication to maintaining the highest standards in quality assurance has significantly impacted the team’s ability to achieve a new level of velocity in each sprint. Stan’s meticulous attention to detail has been instrumental in ensuring that AccuBuild’s product has fewer defects. His commitment to identifying and rectifying potential issues before they escalate has not only saved time but also upheld TESTCo’s reputation to deliver value everyday.

The importance of setting quality goals that align with business objectives.

TESTCo set an excellent precedent for attention to detail, clearly demonstrated the value of QA early in the development lifecycle, and emphasized the importance of setting quality goals that align with business objectives.

Working with TESTCo actually makes us more efficient.

The overall relationship we have with TESTCo has been extremely beneficial, and I feel like we have gotten great value from it.

It has always been difficult to work with offshore teams, as there has always been a communication issue, a time lag with communication, and difficulty understanding the product. The experience working with TESTCo team is anything but that; it’s been the opposite. Working with you actually makes us more efficient.

Having you on my team, working together and helping me reach my goals, is invaluable.

Now we are receiving QA feedback in less than a day.

We were partners with another company that was providing us QA. They were clearly not prioritizing us for QA, and that caused us a bottleneck in QA. We were constantly waiting on QA rather than development. That was really slowing down our process, probably averaging 3 days, sometimes longer. As a result, I had to give my boss not very good answers, such as “The work is done, but we’re just waiting for someone else.”

Now that we are working with TESTCo, we feel like we are in a much better spot. I’ve been thrilled with TESTCo’s performance; since the first couple of sprints, it was clear that QA was no longer the bottleneck. Now we are receiving QA feedback in less than a day.

I also appreciate their flexibility; even when tickets don’t get to QA as fast as we wanted them to, we know they will be ready when we need them.

Tradeblock

I can focus now on customer acquisition and customer satisfaction.

We were about to launch, so we wanted to get it tested. Our main concern was figuring out what we were missing and coverage across browsers because that is a lot of work to get through. We have a small team, and the internal resources to test wouldn’t be testing full-time.

That’s why we reached out to TESTCo. You guys were thorough and very methodical. Proactively identifying issues, especially some of the security things. I feel pretty good about the help received, especially the feedback on test cases missing from our test suite. We want to do things very well, I think that was accomplished, and it also helps with the investors.

I can focus now on customer acquisition and customer satisfaction.

Indispensable to meeting delivery dates

TESTCo allows us to work on multiple branches/versions of software without jeopardizing delivery dates communicated last year. With TESTCo team we are able to get better regression test coverage and have the team focused on priorities and high-risk items.

I appreciate all the work the TESTCo team has been doing. We would not be able to commit to the release schedule we have without your help.

Take product to market

We want to thank you for your services over the last 6 months. The UI, functional, and regression testing you’ve provided has REALLY helped us take this product to market.

Ship with confidence

A couple of years ago, we were forced to trim down testing resources, blocking our full velocity for new products or versions.  The reduction in resources gated our ability to launch new products. Last year we got back on track with automated test maintenance and other testing best practices. Now testing is going well, and the regression cycle has been reduced. Shortening the regression cycle allows us to push more things out quickly and be more aggressive with the scope. Getting back on track with thorough testing through best practices allows me to ship my products with confidence in their quality, and that’s a great feeling!

Digging Deep

On a recent bug that Stan found, his initial report contained enough information that developers would know how to replicate the bug. Without being asked, Stan then proceeded to dig deeper into the behavior to better understand it. His investigation and follow-up information turned the bug fix effort from potentially several hours down to less than five minutes. I am often quite impressed with the depth of Stan’s observations, but this one was so clear cut that I wanted to flag it.
