About project

MINT has created an advanced advertising automation platform that lets advertisers manage all their resources, processes, workflows, and information in one place. This helps them effectively plan, run, and monitor their advertising campaigns. The platform harnesses the power of artificial intelligence, automation, and big data to optimize the entire process of real-time media campaign management. Machine learning algorithms contribute to efficiency, boosting advertising returns and reducing overall operating costs.

Our engagement

MINT approached us for quality assurance services. At that time, the company intended to optimize and expand its development process while aligning it with the best quality assurance practices. They needed a professional QA team that could follow the Agile methodology principles, and DeviQA turned out to be the ideal partner.

We began with a thorough study and assessment of their existing processes, identifying areas for improvement, particularly in the project management systematization. We collaborated closely with their development team to establish and refine workflows, ensuring transparency in monitoring overall work progress. We also developed project documentation to streamline internal processes, significantly enhancing efficiency.

As the project grew rapidly, we suggested splitting the development team into multiple separate teams, each with its own sandbox for more effective management and control. This independent operation of these teams significantly accelerated the release of new features and improved overall efficiency. We further improved communication between these distinct teams by introducing daily meetings, new feature demonstrations, and retrospectives, all aimed at ensuring that every activity remained aligned with the common goal.

One of the major challenges we encountered was the frequent changes from the business side during the release process. To address this, we proposed the creation of a dedicated environment for User Acceptance Testing. This approach enabled us to release high-quality features fully aligned with the business objectives.

Quality assurance played a vital role in the project as MINT brought their product to the market. The testing process involved multiple stages to minimize risks. With different teams working on various features, multiple releases occurred every day. Our close collaboration with the development team ensured thorough testing and the release of bug-free features.

Currently, 14 development teams work on the project, each with at least one quality assurance expert. This setup ensures an efficient development process, enabling quick releases of new features and integrations with minimal issues. Consequently, our efforts have resulted in overwhelmingly positive feedback on the platform's performance.
