The project began with a two-week planning phase to shape our AI idea into a full platform with a clear purpose and value.

Once we had the concept for the AI platform, we studied the competition, spoke with potential users, built a simple early version, and tested it to learn more about the industry and what users actually needed.

Using what we learned, we improved the idea, planned how to bring it to market, and defined the first version of the product. Over the next few months, we focused on design, laying out the structure of the AI application and deciding on its first key features.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The product hasn’t launched yet, but we’ve built a strong and promising AI solution that’s set to go live next month.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The Astaqc team kept me updated on the progress of the AI product from start to finish. They always let me know about any changes,good or bad and even finished some features earlier than planned. We agreed on a launch date a month or two in advance, and they’ve stayed on track to make sure we meet it.

The work we did for the mobile app redesign and planning included three main steps: learning, designing, and delivering.

In the first step (discovery), we focused on understanding what wasn’t working well in the current app. We also looked at both short-term and long-term goals for the app, did research to make sure we were heading in the right direction, and reviewed all the findings to build a smart plan for the design phase.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

After we launched the updated mobile app, both our team and users gave great feedback. People said it was much easier to use and they could quickly find what they needed.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the business manager of Embracing Future Potential, a network of websites that act as job boards advertising roles in the UK.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ASTAQC CONSULTING?

We wanted to set up consistent testing on our websites to identify any issues/bugs that appeared and react to them as soon as possible. We chose to do this on a platform named Ghost Inspector, which ASTAQC CONSULTING set up and managed on our behalf.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We searched Upwork and found various vendors, and selected ASTAQC CONSULTING after interviewing them

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Their team was responsible for creating automated tests across our network of 7 websites, reporting the issues/bugs that arose, and creating new tests or adapting existing tests to ensure they don't reappear.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked directly with a testing engineer, who was our single point of contact

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We never had any automated test on our sites before, therefore this project saved us countless hours in manual testing and picked up issues/errors with our sites that otherwise would have gone unnoticed.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We were very happy with the workflow between our teams, we could log into the platform and view the tests and were sent notifications that outlined any issues they reported. We were in constant communication with the lead testing engineer through upwork. We were always kept up-to-date, and they were extremely reactive.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The level of personal service we recieved, our lead engineer was always reactive to anything we asked of him, and always carried out any tasks to the highest standard.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We do not have any recommendations for improvement, we're extremely satisfied with the level of service we receive.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I handle the Outsourced QA for the application testing. Deskpro is a comprehensive helpdesk product. Deskpro works with things like email, chat and voice, and includes features like knowledgebase articles and files and downloads. Admins can configure custom templates, triggers, webhooks, user groups, auth and SSO, etc. There are also mobile apps for iOS and Android. Deskpro's agent and admin interfaces are single-page apps that run in the browser. Deskpro is a large product with many different features and with hundreds of configurable settings. It is very flexible. This flexibility means that QA is a very important part of our release process. Someone needs to test the product and have the skill and instinct to test it in ways that might not be immediately obvious.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ASTAQC CONSULTING?

We were looking for a Manual QA tester of our product. The role included:

• Testing new features to ensure they do what they are meant to do, and they work as one would reasonably expect.
• Testing bug fixes to ensure bugs are actually fixed, and that no new bugs were introduced
• Some manual QA at a release level to check for major regressions that are not picked up by automated tests
• Validating customer bug reports.
• You will get a bug report, then replicate the issue on a test environment to verify the issue and clarify steps to reproduce for the engineers.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We chose the QA engineer via their proposal on Upwork, they showed that they understood how testing had to be done, and they had the ability to understand the diverse testing techniques that were needed for the project.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We were looking for someone to work with us for the long term. Deskpro is a significant and complicated product, and QA tester had to:

• Learn about our product thoroughly.
• Begin to understand how features fit together and can be used together
• Tester was required to have an instinctive understanding of how a change in one product area could potentially cause a problem in another area. Deskpro is highly configurable and sometimes, seemingly unrelated combinations of configurations could result in unexpected or undesirable behaviour
• Tester had to know how to push software to edge cases to catch bugs that might have been missed. For example, error scenarios (e.g. invalid input) or extreme cases (e.g. uploading an logo 100000x100000 in size) etc
• ester had to understand security challenges with web-based software (e.g. XSS), and be mindful of security implementations of any feature (e.g. how permissions are often very important)

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We have been working with 1 manual and automation tester.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

They've been with us for over 4 years now and continue to help us test complex functionality and regression of all features before release. They've also helped us build cypress-based automated tests.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It is based on daily communication, we use a communication channel where their engineer works with our team as a member of our team.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their tester has the skill that is very important for our project. They have the ability to understand how a highly configurable product like ours needs to be tested for every small change and they go beyond the limit to find a way out.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We would want them to introduce Security testing as a regular check.
