Project Summary

ASAL augmented the client's internal teams to develop firmware, drivers and PC-related tools for laptop chips and to provide QA and automated testing support. They used C and Python and were trained on TestComplete to automate tests. The engagement began in Jan. 2010 and is ongoing; the client reported improved productivity and product quality after an initial training period.

Key Challenges

  • Needed additional QA capacity due to having more developers than testers
  • Required a nearshore/offshore partner in the same time zone and close proximity to bridge the QA gap

Project Deliverables

  • Firmware for embedded controller
  • Laptop tools and drivers
  • Automated tests using TestComplete
  • Trained QA and development engineers

Project Solution

ASAL developed and tested parts of the client's laptop-related software stack: firmware for an embedded controller, and accompanying laptop tools and drivers. They performed application and driver development in C (and used Python where required), implemented automated testing using TestComplete after training, and provided dedicated engineering resources coordinated by an experienced team lead. Engagement included training, weekly remote coordination and periodic one-day on-site visits.

Project Outcome

  • Increased productivity and quality
  • Decreased testing time
  • Avoided hiring more expensive local engineers
  • Long-term ongoing engagement since Jan. 2010
