For those of you who do not have much background into our history, we are a 7 year old company, who have grown in terms of numbers from less than 5 people to over 350 people in 5 testing centers of excellence. While I will not touch upon the technical expertise the organization has acquired and built over these years, the one aspect I will briefly delve into is “our bonding with our people” - what we consider our “ingredient to our receipe for success”. From inception, QAIT management has emphasized on building a strong work culture and making the organization an enjoyable and enriching place to work, for every employee. This has been implemented both:
top-down with a very apporachable, transparent and supportive management in place and
bottom-up with every employee being given personal attention on what they work on, where they aspire to be in their careers and helping them build it successfully at QAIT
It is very heartening to see these practices of ours being reflected in this year’s Great Places to Work for in India, Top 100 results list, in which we have been listed at number 62. For a company of our scale, we (our management and employees) take pride in having reached this level and this is an added motivation for us to keep working towards rising up this ladder. As we announce this important news to you all, we would also appreciate if you can take a moment to read a blog written by one of our test engineers on the work culture at QAIT. This is a true grassroot level reflection of what it is like to work for and at QAIT, which we believe represents the voice of every QAITian.

Regression testing is a vital testing procedure that seeks to unearth software errors, if any, by selective retesting a software system. Regression strives to proliferate the assurance that developers have addressed the key issue and that no additional errors were introduced in the process of fixing other problems. The rider here is the re-execution of [...]

Defects, identifying which form one of the primary goals of a test team, go a long way in showcasing how effective a test team has performed in testing a given product.

It’s a preluding encore for fresh pair of eyes and ears. It’s the starting point for future managers cutting through corporate jargon with a fetish to capture keen business acumen. Future aspirations rest on this pivotal foundation that elicits total assimilation to reach as far as an inkling of convoluted process flows of business. Every [...]

With the growing competition in the QA services market there is always a question of “What is a company’s differentiator”, “what value add does it bring to the table”? In my opinion whether to oust competition or not a true value add that a services company can bring in is to play a consultative role [...]

It was the Cornucopia of achievement, of sprout and growth, of revelations and proclamations, Cornucopia 2010 for six years of auspicious existence. In office space every miniscule moment has been celebrated be it an employee’s birthday, completion of tenure or an Indian festival. Yet this occasion was the mother of all. It was an homage [...]
