Competition details
Aiming to spot the best projects, the judging panel relies upon an assessment of the value delivered to the client using turnkey QA solutions rather than considers company size, market share, or budget. An unbiased evaluation is achieved by the analysis of anonymous applications.
Project overview
The customer is a large US home appliances manufacturer leveraging a range of B2B and B2C software solutions.

- Performance testing to provide customers with successful eCommerce experience, including Black Friday sales.
- Integration testing to ensure quality functioning of payment platforms and the system designed for taxes’ distribution within the client’s solutions.
In the endeavor to bring even more value, the QA engineers committed to processes’ enhancement and developed a plan to support numerous releases and introduced smart team scalability whenever such a need occurred.
