Founded in 2011 Barnebys is a world’s leading search engine for art, antiques and collectibles. It allows their users to have the best experience through web and mobile app. Barnebys established business globally with offices in New York, San Francisco, UK, France, Spain and Germany.

Our client decided to build long-term ongoing collaboration with Apphawks. Thanks to that we become part of their development. Daily status, planning, backlog refinement, and other meetings, we always there. Together with Barnebys, we setting up goals and testing plans for the next months. When is needed we flight to Stockholm to spend some time on the QA process in Barnesbys office.

Quality Challenges

Barnebys had no testing process in place. When we join we wanted to ensure quality requirements are met. It was challenging due to the big size of the development team, but we set up a testing process. Now as a QA team we can achieve product goals more confidentially.

We started to look out for product quality also through test automation. We deal with a great amount of quality challenges every day. Constant development and implementation of automation help to achieve that.

Apphawks guided me through the process of market implementation. Product required payment gateway testing, functional testing of all forms. I was super happy about their detailed approach. They found several critical bugs in the system, so we avoided the disappointment of our customers.
We were cooperating with Apphawks to carry out end to end testing and mobile app testing using a wide range of devices. The entire process of cooperation was transparent. I was nicely surprised by their product suggestions.

We had a lot of experience working together and it's a joy! Apphawks is very professional with great experience but still very simple to work with. They are pragmatic and listens to your needs. I'm looking forward for more coming years working together.

Cooperation in testing our software together with Apphawks was a new experience for us that turned out to be a real bull’s-eye. Thanks to our colleagues from Apphawks we can now be more confident that the software we sell is well tested. Apphawks also suggested implementing changes that improved how our system operates. An additional advantage was using scripts that automated testing processes of certain mechanisms.
