An Extension of Our Team

We have worked with other outside testing groups in the past, but the combination of really smart Test Engineers in Eastern Europe and a local manager makes the testing of new releases very efficient and cost-effective.

We have a very close working relationship where TESTCo is an extension of our own development team. Because they know our application and have built a test framework that fits our product, TESTCo’s software testing services are very effective in uncovering software defects prior to release. They have a dedicated team of very smart Test Engineers that work hard.

A True Partner

TESTCo has been a true partner with us as we created a new and innovative trading platform for one of our key clients.

We were tasked to create something that had never been built before so we all had to figure it out together. Our testing team really dug in to learn the details of the financial domain, the business drivers that would make the platform successful and gain the trust of our client.

That required support from their executives during the inevitable twists and turns any project encounters and persistence ad diligence from their project team

To The Letter

I can pass off an entire business problem (‘we need testing’) and count on it being solved well. Also, when instructions are provided to you guys, you follow them to the letter almost perfectly every time.

Drive Costs Down

I’ve been very happy with TESTCo. Our TESTCo team members are sharp, technically savvy and committed to Surgient’s success, which are qualities we required. In addition, they’ve helped us drive costs down while enabling us to maintain the highest level of service for our customers.

We continue to work with TESTCo because of the consistent high quality product and the fact the TESTCo team feels more like a strategic business partner instead of a vendor. The primary value that TESTCo provides is a focus on helping my business succeed. By focusing on my success, the value of their staff extends well beyond the positive measurable ROI I receive each month.

Great Help

We finished up with the team last Friday, and I just want to again compliment the team on their great help. They quickly picked up familiarity with the product line and helped us get through our testing.

A New Tool

My view is we now have “a new tool in the bag” for meeting our testing requirements.

Rigorous Review

Blue Fish needed to make the jump from writing code that is bug free and checked internally to having a rigorous third party review to ensure quality, but didn’t want to make their clients wait longer for their deliverables.

Synchronize Testing

I’ve been able to provide some simple guidelines and procedures to the team and they have returned valuable tests and have uncovered relevant defects.  They allow me to get a lot of manual testing done at once, and have helped synchronize testing efforts with the workflow in development.

Impressive Personnel

I am impressed with the personnel assigned to this project. They are patient and consistent hard working testers that we enjoy having on the team. Implementing industry testing best practices within this project has proven to be difficult and frustrating – I appreciate each person’s never ending push for this and the patience to do that.

Impressed

I have definitely been impressed with the ability of the engineers to get up to speed on the platform.  They seem to work very well with our developers and their open collaborative communication has been tremendous.

An Indispensable Factor

Put simply, the TESTCo team was an indispensable factor in transforming the quality and reliability of our software products.

After two and a half years of a small team approach to software development and delivery, we realized it was time to take things to a new level, and TESTCo helped us to realize that vision. The speed and efficiency with which the testing team learned our product and its complex requirements and dependencies was impressive, and a relief for an organization of our small size.

The testing team’s ability to develop a test plan on the fly as they learned our software, and to self-identify test cases that improved the overall user experience for our product are key reasons TESTCo had an instant and positive impact on our organization.

Overwhelmingly Positive

My experience with TESTCo has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are grateful for their diligence and the quality of their results.

The team we have been working with is always readily available for discussions and changes in our direction, and in our meetings with them they are very personable and friendly.

TESTCo has surprised more than one of my coworkers with their thoroughness and preparedness. One new product manager remarked “Usually, I’m the one grilling the testers, but I was happy they were grilling us with the important questions that needed to be answered!”

Their test results prove that their methods are sound, well researched, and well practiced. They have provided excellent reports that are highly detail oriented and demonstrate a thoroughness that is very meaningful to us as we grow our start up.

Through working with TESTCo, we have been able to shape improvements to our own practices that reinforce our ability to deliver high quality software, and we would not be as successful as we have been without the amazing support that TESTCo has offered us.
