Norbert Nagy
Co-Founder and CEO, GuideVision
We started working with ScienceSoft on testing our core application called Careware. The application is quite complex and has many ERP and mobile elements in it.
We have worked with the team in very close cooperation ever since and value the professional as well as flexible attitude towards testing. Since starting our cooperation the testing team has changed in size and people, with one test engineer remaining with us for already 2 years now! We currently have a team of 3 very enthusiastic and good test engineers with whom we are very happy.
Roderick Schipper
CTO , helpLine B.V.
We contracted ScienceSoft to provide QA for a major Augmented Reality installation project, after extensive research, and we're really happy with our decision. They were flexible, thorough and on-the-spot, and able to provide assistance for short-term mission-critical testing. We'd happily recommend them to other mobile and immersive developers.
