The Full Scale QA team has consistently demonstrated strong time management, professionalism, and reliability. They effectively manage multiple testing priorities, meet sprint deadlines, and deliver assigned QA tasks on time. 

The team is highly responsive to our needs and communicates effectively through Slack, emails, meetings, and ticketing systems. They quickly adapt to changing priorities, address feedback promptly, and collaborate closely with our internal QA and development teams.

What was your primary form of communication with Full Scale?

Virtual Meeting

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

What impressed us most about Full Scale is the dedication, professionalism, and strong work ethic of their QA team. They are hardworking, dependable, and consistently demonstrate a positive attitude toward their responsibilities. 

Their ability to quickly adapt to changing priorities, handle multiple products, and support demanding sprint schedules is particularly impressive. They are proactive in identifying issues, responsive to feedback, and always willing to go the extra mile to support our team. 

Despite working remotely, they collaborate seamlessly with our internal QA team and demonstrate a strong sense of ownership, teamwork, and commitment to delivering quality results. Their reliability and flexibility truly set them apart.

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

Overall, we have been very satisfied with Full Scale's QA team and their contributions. They have consistently demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and reliability. 

One area for improvement would be expanding their technical expertise in test automation and exploring additional opportunities to enhance testing efficiency. 

Additionally, having more overlap with U.S. working hours would be beneficial. Since the team was available only until 11 AM U.S. time, extended availability would have allowed for better real-time collaboration, quicker issue resolution, and more flexibility during critical testing and release activities. 

Despite these minor areas for improvement, the team has always been receptive to feedback, adaptable, and committed to delivering quality work. We truly appreciate their efforts and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration.

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

It is difficult to define a scope of work since the purpose was overall staff augmentation. Over two years and continuing to the present day, we have used between 1 and 3 FullScale developers at any time to participate as though they were onshore, first-tier staff. Their work is competitive with any of our full-time developers and the attitude, collaboration, and value is excellent.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Again, there was no particular scope of work. The engineers from FullScale contribute points and velocity to every sprint as though they were any other engineer, at agreeable prices and excellent competency levels and great collaboration.

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

They are always response in Slack at nearly all hours of the day and also responsive via email and our ticketing system as well. The FullScale engineers are present in every non-regulated system our own engineers are.

What was your primary form of communication with Full Scale?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

I can't believe the value and the talent. I would like to meet them in real life one day to show my appreciation with a hug. Losing my FullScale engineers would be as traumatic as losing a direct employee, and I have rarely felt that way about offshore development before.

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

Nothing right now.

We don't use their project management. Full Scale communicates through virtual meetings, email, and messages.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an IT team lead for a steel manufacturing company. I work on financial software to build steel buildings.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Full Scale?

We needed help with development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Full Scale’s QA resource has been with us since the inception of our application. Then, we added developers because we were updating our code base from Angular to React. Full Scale has been a part of that transition to the new application, and now they’re helping to support it.

The QA and I have created a process document in OneNote. Whenever a new employee starts on the team, we give them access to the document, which has a brief overview of the app, our login process, and other walk-through knowledge about the application.

What is the team composition?

Five team members are reporting to me, including one QA and four full stack developers.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in January 2017, and the partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Full Scale’s impact has been significant. We have another team using some of Full Scale’s resources, and all teams have nothing but good things to say. They’ve definitely helped our business grow within the IT sector, and teammates are a joy to work with.

How did Full Scale perform from a project management standpoint?

We’ve hit our timeline. We initially missed our deadline with the migration, but it wasn’t feasible because it was put together by a project management team that had no idea about the application.

Other than that, Full Scale has met deadlines, and we review metrics every two weeks. So far, they’ve hit 100% of their deliveries and done an excellent job.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Leonette (Software QA Tester III) is the QA; we’ve worked together the longest. She is probably one of the best QAs I’ve worked with. She does a fantastic job, and her knowledge of the application is impressive. Moreover, Leonette helps the other developers understand the functionality.

Lovely (Full Stack Developer) hasn’t been with us as long as Leonette, but she understands the functionality. She gets in there and helps with her knowledge of the application, supporting any of our newer Full Scale employees. In summary, Lovely was one of the first teammates to understand the functionality, and she goes above and beyond to help the team in any way she can.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their most impressive trait is how quickly they’ve learned the application. Additionally, the developers are sincere, friendly, and easy to get along with; they work great with everyone.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They do a great job, but many of their full stack developers are very green. It’d be nice to have some more senior people. They’ve started bringing them into the company, and I assume their junior developers will become senior as time passes.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I definitely recommend Full Scale. Additionally, something that helped us in February 2023 was an account manager. We asked if we could set up small interviews, and they gave us information about each candidate on the site and what they could do. Overall, the interviews ensured the person was a good fit for us and the team.
