Summary
In conclusion, Skelia proved to be a versatile and accommodating partner in providing quality assurance testing for our food ordering platform. Despite some challenges in project management, their flexibility and commitment to meeting deadlines were key strengths that contributed to the success of our collaboration.
Project Description
My company engaged Skelia to conduct comprehensive testing on an innovative food ordering platform across multiple devices. The platform was designed for takeaways and restaurants, offering users the convenience of scanning QR codes to access menus or place orders on-the-go. Skelia’s involvement included rigorous testing for Android, iOS, and web compatibility before the platform’s public release.
Pros
Skelia’s flexibility and understanding of our intermittent workload were highly commendable. They provided services as needed without complaint, ensuring that deadlines were always met. Their ability to adapt to our changing needs without pressuring us to consume unnecessary services set them apart from other providers.
Cons
While Skelia’s performance was initially satisfactory, their project management became less consistent over time. The frequency of reports and level of communication decreased, requiring our development team to take on more responsibility in managing the testing process.
