Testing Team of the Year category
To enter the Testing Team of the Year category, a1qa submitted a project carried out for a well-known US-based software developer of a 3D avatar social app.
The team of a1qa’s engineers and a manager were assigned to help the client cope with the increasing workload under pressing deadlines, efficiently release new features, enable failsafe operation of software that leverages 3D technology, and grow revenue.
