We use Jira and proprietary automation tools to track progress and manage implementations. DeviQA’s team focuses on executing specific testing tasks, which reduces the need for extensive project management. However, daily standup meetings are held with their QA resources to address outstanding issues, align priorities, and ensure timely bug fixing.

DeviQA has been highly effective in creating hundreds of test cases with remarkable speed and precision. Their workflow is smooth and efficient, and most importantly, they have a strong grasp of the client's core business, which has allowed them to meet expectations consistently. The project started with breaking down the system into modular components and crafting manual test cases to address all potential use cases. Afterward, automation of these test cases began. To date, DeviQA has helped create hundreds of test cases, fully integrated into the build and release processes. They have become a core part of our development team, rather than just temporary resources for specific projects. The development of new content is ongoing, and we are also in the process of integrating automated regression and integration test cases into our DevOps pipelines. DeviQA quickly adapted to our workflow, working efficiently with our team. They have been excellent collaborators, understanding their role and delivering exactly as promised.

We didn't have a formal structural testing process before and had worked with other agencies whose methods didn't quite fit our needs. Once we engaged DeviQA, our team noticed a clear difference in the professionalism and structure they brought to the table. Their automated testing services significantly improved the quality of our applications, resulting in an increase in positive feedback. Thanks to DeviQA's involvement, our apps began to receive stellar reviews on both the App Store and Google Play. In addition, the introduction of automated testing helped us reduce manual effort, resulting in significant cost savings. The communication with the DeviQA team was excellent and their quick response times ensured a smooth collaboration. Our entire team was happy with the workflow DeviQA provided. With their experience and expertise, DeviQA has proven to be a reliable and high quality QA partner. Before working with them, we hadn't found a testing provider we could fully trust with the quality of our applications.

When we started, we had no automated testing in place, with the goal of reaching about 80% coverage across our product. DeviQA collaborated with us to meet those goals. After successfully scaling our automated testing, they also integrated into our manual testing team, where they work on refining the framework and increasing the capacity for manual test execution. Their contributions have been outstanding. The automated testing system they created is highly responsive to changes, delivering quick test results. They’ve consistently met our needs and proactively suggested process improvements. This has accelerated testing, provided more meaningful data, and reduced the need for extensive documentation. We now delegate tasks to their project managers, who oversee their teams effectively, minimizing unnecessary questions for our team.
