QA for Windows Server Desktop Solution
Challenge
The system was rather old and heavy, and every new change introduced by developers caused a bug in the connected functionalities of the solution, making it unusable. We were hired to fix it. Our goal was to ensure that all updates to the code went through, and the product would be stable and reliable for the client’s use. This required meticulous testing of various components within the Windows server desktop solution.
