So far, we’re happy with our collaboration. Their tester adapts very well to our environment and completes testing processes in a very short time. He’s been able to find very important information during the testing processes, understand the priorities of the project, and create reports on time. Also, their team works flexibly to align with our schedule and capacity needs.

How did Luxe Quality Perform from a project management standpoint?

We agreed on a number of hours, and everything has been working out well. We use different project management tools, including Jira and Sprinter. For communications, we use Microsoft Teams.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with how good Luxe Quality is at what they do. Also, we didn’t have to put too much effort into getting their tester onboarded — he easily adapted to the environment. Overall, their team has exceeded our expectations.
