About the Team

Our team, Quality Engineering, partners with product development R&D teams to improve software quality through scalable tooling, automation, and modern engineering practices. Our “customers” are developers and QEs across R&D. We build highly functional tools and frameworks that help teams test products better and ship with confidence, e.g., regression testing frameworks, performance testing tools, contract testing frameworks, and automated quality gates embedded in CI/CD pipelines.

We also produce high-fidelity test data that closely mimics production data to enable realistic testing, and we integrate third-party platforms (e.g., SonarQube, Wiz, Xray) to expand coverage and automate end-to-end quality workflows.
