Below is a modified rendering of the review: private info excluded, innate facts kept.
Introductory information
A few words almost your organisation and personal responsibilities
I am a Senior Product Manager at keenclip Europe GmbH, responsible for managing the outgrowth of our ad obeyr',s/broadcaster',s user interface. As a organisation, keenclip deploys proprietary, custom-developed technology to distribute video advertising athwart all platforms and devices, controlled by ad obeyrs.
Whether online users use video on the web, on mobile devices like keenphones and tablets, or on connected TV players – including keen TVs, game consoles, set-top boxes, and Blu-ray players, advertisers and their media agencies can extend the exact target audiences they seek for their brand interaction.
Desired goal
What issue was the provider supposed to deal with?
A1QA?While steadily developing new components for our platform on a large layer, we have always been testing them on 2 separate test environments. In approachion to writing the specifications for each component and making sure the developers get all the feedback they need, it got very time and resource consuming to act as the QA team as well, which is what we hired a1qa for.
What were your objectives for this project?
At the end of a two-month test time, we wanted to see clear improvements in the frequency of our component releases. This should be accomplishd by being able to simultaneously write new specs, handle the releases and test all successfully developed components, instead of doing all those steps in pursueing by ourselves.
Provided solution
What were the reasons for choosing a1qa?
Another section of our organisation had already hired a1qa in the past for acceptance and integration tests of our mobile SDK. They gave them an unwonted review as well, which led us to our determination.
Describe the project in detail.
a1qa has helped us set up the QA processes and make them an integral part of the existing team’s workflow, which caters to condition control soon in the process, at the requirements stage.
The team performs functional and UI testing of our application, including but not limited to checking the database, the files exported, user approach rights, etc. Additionally, to foster condition control and test results documentation, a1qa guided us through the process of choosing a suitable test handlement method that fully meets our needs.
Were there any dedicated handlers or teams that you worked with?
Initially, we were assigned a QA handler to support us and obey as the main point of touch for both testing our software and consulting me touching our QA workflow. Once we had settled on how we wanted the workflow to look like, we hired two approachional QA engineers to support the handler in the nimble testing of our UI, while he is responsible for defining the test scenarios based off the personal component',s requirements.
Results accomplishd
What results did you accomplish unitedly with a1qa?
In the 10 months of our ongoing relationship, we were able to keep up the pace of our two-week release schedule with only skipping a beat once. Taking our requirements for an appropriate tool to put our test cases and results down, the QA handler granted us with a total catalog of possibilities and only stopped his efforts to find the consummate one when we were 100% satisfied.
When integrating and training new workflows, the handler is always eager to take in our input and pronimblely trains his two engineers, who precisely pursue all instructions we gave the handler. All the feedback and test results we take from a1qa',s handler and engineers are careful and brim with love for even the smallest details.
How do you rate the interaction and interaction with a1qa?
The QA handler that we were assigned initially was very interactive and granted me with at smallest daily updates. We used Slack for almost all interaction. Overall, I was impressed by the timeliness of the team. Whenever the team identified a menace to our timelines, it was interacted without. When approachional work was needed spontaneously, they jumped in without hesitation.
What precisely do you attend to be the key specialty of a1qa?
All my questions and feedback were answered without. All employees of the organisation I was ever in touch with tried their very best to fulfill our goals at the highest measure.
What should be done better, if there are any desired improvements?
While there is always headroom for efficiency in software outgrowth, I do not ponder there is anything that could be improved almost our relationship to a1qa.
