QArea’s Year: Summing Up 2018
by Anna Khrupa on Jan 31, 2019
2018 was full of big achievements for QArea — software development outsourcing company. We’ve got CMMI appraisal, won many awards, and had a chance to work with truly great clients. Today, we want to look back and recall our victories to get enough inspiration for the new 2019 year.
We Improve our Services: CMMI appraisal
A very important accomplishment that we’d been striving to achieve for a year, is CMMI appraisal at the 3d level of Capability and Maturity. Our software development team, along with analysts and QA engineers gathered to document all processes within the company. So from now on, we do everything possible to work transparently and diligently document every process (and get appraised at even higher CMMI level in the nearest future). Realizing we had inside-jokes by the end of the whole process, we decided to create a comics about CMMI appraisal and share it with the community. CMMI appraisal is a number-one achievement of the year for QArea.
We Continue to Grow: New office
January was a remarkable month for QArea. Our team always aims at growing the forces, this is why we have offices on Malta, the USA, and used to have 3 R&D centers in Ukraine. We decided it’s time to grow further and open another one, so we did. New QArea office in Cherkasy is focused specifically on software testing and QA services. Our QA experts are up for solving everyday challenges in finding bugs and building working strategies to fix them.
We are Among the Best: Forbes Technology Council
The President of QArea, Maxim Garkavtsev, became a member of Forbes Technology Council, an invitation-only worldwide community for the top-class technology executives. Maxim Garkavtsev has a well-rounded approach to technology and strives for the constant innovation and improvement of IT industry in Eastern Europe. His view over doing software development business had been forming over 18 years of challenging but rewarding experience. Now, he is sharing this experience with the community.
We Continue to Learn new Things: Golang department
Not so long ago, in 2009, Golang was firstly released by Google. We were one of the first Eastern European teams, who started to code on Go and prefer it over the other languages. Our Golang development department has grown significantly since then, and especially it did in 2018. Meanwhile, our developers created own products on Go – DueFocus and DueRank.
We Have Great Partners: Apple
A while ago, our software testing team provided a brand with QA services. The main goal was to check whether the product is well-performing, load-resistant, and has a user-friendly interface. And after this product was polished from bugs, it became of such a high quality that Apple acquired it. Now, this application has a 4.8 stars rating in the App Store out of the 5 possible.
We Are Up-To-Date: New company website
We decided it’s time to move on and change our website’s image. We aimed to make the website as simple and user-friendly as possible while keeping a strong focus on our brand, which represents transparency, reliability, and high quality of provided services.
Ensure Success in 2019
We Aim to Become Better: Awards
