Services provided

We first started out as a bootstrap company, which means that we didn't raise a lot of seed-funding initially. We thus leveraged the outsourcing route as a competitive advantage to other app builders. We didn't have the technical skills ourselves so we needed to find a cost-effective solution to get the expertise we needed to actually develop our product.

DeviQA's services include time tracking, billing, payments, and things of this nature. We enlisted them to build their own quality assurance environment within our company. It was functional, but not as advanced as we'd have hoped for. We took it upon ourselves to build out a more advanced environment within which DeviQA could thrive. They engage exclusively in manual testing. They had a lot of suggestions and expertise concerning regression, unit-testing services, and providers which they'd used previously, but being a bootstrap company, we took it upon ourselves to build our own unit, integration, and functional testing. We rely on our own code for testing products, while DeviQA is responsible for manual user interface elements. We initially used only one of their testers and scaled out our team to four members at its peak. We have now settled on three. Outsourcing to DeviQA has saved us a lot of time and money and we consider it to be just as efficient as hiring in-house QA personnel.
