Infopulse Becomes the Finalist of European Software Testing Awards 2021

We’ve done it! Infopulse reached the finals of The European Testing Software Testing Awards 2021! Our company was among the global leaders that participated in the international testing contest sponsored by Deloitte, presenting their strengths and expertise. As a result of a thorough selection process, Infopulse was chosen as a finalist in two categories at once: the ‘Best Overall Testing Project – Communication’ category together with our partner BICS, a global communications enabler, and the ‘Leading Vendor’ category.

Best Overall Testing Project – Communication

With this award, the top-tier testing project in the communication sector was recognized. Judges were looking for an in-depth discussion of project goals and its significance, critical milestones, resources, and tangible results. The jury selected those projects for the Finalists that had the forward-looking idea, exceptional vision, and outstanding collaboration with key stakeholders. The contestants were required to showcase a successful testing endeavor, using testing best practices and frameworks.

Launched in 2018, the complex QA transformation project for BICS, the global telecommunications enabler, was ultimately aimed to improve the quality of experience for all end-users of BICS software. In this project, Infopulse helped BICS to modernize QA entirely, enabling BICS to focus on what they do best: innovation in global telecommunications that lead to better connectivity for millions. This sustainable QA excellence has secured Infopulse the status of a trusted vendor for all QA-related processes, fully responsible for QA management, resource organization, practices update, issue solving, etc. Recognizing the contribution of Infopulse to global connectivity and showing their commitment, the two companies have secured their partnership with a record deal until 2030.

For this ambitious project, we needed a partner to implement best practices specific to the telecom ecosystem without affecting business continuity. Infopulse expertise resulted in a very performant QA team, capable of taking responsibility for the full-cycle implementation. As a result of the BICS-Infopulse partnership, we now have an all-in-one center of expertise and are pushing the standard of telecom software reliability even further.

‘Leading Vendor’ category

The award is given to the vendor whose offerings and customer service receive the highest marks. The judges were looking for proof of commitment to the top-quality standards in products and services, customer-centric business practices, ability to embrace change as well as the proof of C-suite executives to pursue excellence in the Software Testing and QA industry.

With our dedicated Quality Assurance Competence Center, a unit of the Software Engineering and Consulting Department, Infopulse offers a full range of software quality assurance and application testing services. Our seasoned professionals, whose expertise encompasses multiple business verticals, release software of the highest quality by using market-leading testing automation techniques across all stages of the software development process.

It is a great honor for me to team up with the talented QA professionals in our company, not only helping them grow their skills but also learning with them and from them. Whether we are working with innovative tools or follow proven testing practices that have also been improved by us, we always strive to figure out first which aspects of quality are of the utmost importance for our customers. Such a philosophy works to everyone’s benefit and success!
