The write-up of our award concludes by stating: “In the growing software testing services market, Qualitest stands out with its strong thought leadership, innovation, and flexibility. Purely focused on testing, the company differentiates itself in the market by providing superior customer service experience enabled by its deep expertise in testing and industry knowledge and a stronger emphasis on their clients’ business context.”
According to Frost & Sullivan Industry Director Jessy Cavazos “Qualitest’s global presence in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and India enables it to leverage a mix of off-shore, on-site, and on-shore options to provide right-shore testing. Its solutions are tailored to end-user needs, whether those solutions are delivered by a single testing team working in just one location, or through the combined efforts of its testing experts worldwide”. “Qualitest makes testers available anywhere in the world, even in highly specific regions due to distinctive network conditions, language, localization, or time-to-market requirements.”
“Qualitest has demonstrated consistently high growth rates, underlining its ability to retain customers while adding new ones,” noted Cavazos. “The company has also been able to grow with current accounts, migrating from disparate, regional customers to global ones.” This year’s ceremony included a networking reception followed by a formal black-tie dinner and celebration reception. Additionally, attendees were invited to join a one-hour workshop titled Understanding the Eco-system of Smart Cities and Implications for Your Company.
