Manual and Automated QA Talent, Embedded in Days
We added highly qualified talent in a matter of days: a mix of manual testers and SDETs who took ownership of building and executing test plans, with several also contributing directly to Kin's automated test suite. This talent gave, from day one, the value Kin was looking for to achieve its goals:
- Worked side by side with Kin's product managers, software engineers, and internal QA and SDET teams, integrating as full-time hires, not an external team.
- Contributed to test execution while also participating in architectural plans, infrastructure decisions, and technical coaching.
- Kept every deadline on track while helping Kin improve its overall product quality.
Kin has time and again commended BEON's talent not only because of their tech savviness, but also because of their cultural match and desire to go the extra mile.
