We were originally on the verge of launching a new OMS system so were in need to get coverage prior to our launch date. QA Wolf successfully got the coverage we needed. As the year progressed we were able to give QA Wolf more complicated work flows to help de-burden our manual team. We gave them a goal of completion for this of 2 months and are on track to have this completed

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

For us it was usable complete test cases in the time we agreed too. So for an example we had them cover our messaging platform and having them complete it within the time period we allotted plus our weekly checkins with progress updates helped us feel confident that the work we needed to be completed is completed

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

Project management has turned to being a super great thing. Cohen is amazing with his touch ins and ensuring we are on track. Additionally Gray had been perfect as our lead to ensure we are getting the completion we need. Both have been wonderful in responding via slack. Our weekly meetings they are great about updating the status of the project and allowing us to discuss any test cases

A few things!

1. we could off load test cases and replace with others at any time.
2. They code in playwright which is what we write in
3. Having all test cases hosted by them and ran through their server to de-burden our load

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

It took till the second half of the year for us to get into a better communication rythm with QA Wolf. So in general with new clients I would harp on the side of more communication compared to less. Additionally ensuring and auditing the test cases to confirm they are valid and dont need adjustments!
