4. Software Testing:
Innovation on the Rise
oday, the businesses are not only expected to deliver efficiency and a fail-safe user experience but
Tproducts and services which understand users intuitively. Hence, it has become important for
companies to look at core product engineering services such as software testing not merely as just
a ‘delivery service’ but a service that adds to the user-experience of the product. This is why Insights
Success has put together a list of ‘The 10 Best Performing Software Testing Solution Providers 2018’
to make a contribution to the global world of business.
During our research, we have come across some interesting rising trends in the software testing industry.
Today, contrary to the hue and cry in the popular sphere, technology is making skilled employees more
valuable than ever before. There is a growing competition between companies to hire skilled employees
and train them to approach software testing from a broader perspective to judge the overall experience of a
product. Similarly, software testing is undergoing a fierce competition to gain more prestige and a bigger
share of the pie in relation to product development. This has resulted in industry wide adoption of Agile
and DevOps and many positive developments for the end-client.
We have chosen to feature Keytorc as a leading company for specifically its contribution to the latest
practices and its groundbreaking performance in the software testing industry. Keytorc provides its
software testing services for more than 800 clients in 25 countries from 4 continents.
Editor’s Note
5. The second business profile features ‘QAMentor’ which has distinguished itself time and again with
cost-efficiency and innovation unheard of in Ukraine. The company was born out of an eventful
journey full of its own unique challenges similar to the journey of ‘Verifysoft’. More than 500
customers in over 35 countries on all continents rely on software testing tools of Verifysoft
Technology.
Additionally, we have also introduced Musala Soft JSC which stays ahead of the curve in the
industry by working with many Fortune 500 companies. Its software development and its
specialization in the full software development lifecycle are its huge advantages. Another special
player in the software testing industry is Miracle Software Systems, Inc, a company which has over
the past twenty years helped numerous large and mid-sized businesses transition their IT to a Service
Oriented Architecture, with IT Transformation Initiatives, deploying SAP / Oracle ERP Systems.
One of the growing trends in software testing is also providing customized solutions catered to meet
the needs of each client. NIX Solutions Ltd excels in this category by offering clients the flexibility
to work through the full end-to-end software development lifecycle, or implement a particular part of
the project. However, some companies like Rhoynar choose to focus on a specialized platform like
TestFramework.io. This strategy has also helped the clients find tremendous success in the industry.
One of the surprise package in our issue is QA Consultants. The company has earned a spot among
the best for its continuous quality centre of excellence which delivers on time and on budget. We
have also awarded the title of the ‘company of the year’ to a very special company, Innominds. It
has a wide range of competencies and a diverse clientele.

driven technologies to deliver effective solutions to their
clientele. However, rather than quantity, corporate world is
inclined towards maintaining the quality of the software.
Every IT organization’s goal is to improve the quality of
software and thus, every software engineer is striving to
achieve the same. Hence, the function of software quality
testing is evolving to accommodate the quality demands
and is becoming an integral part of software development.
It was this surging demand that led Keytorc Software
Testing Services to conceive its inception.

The Rising Challenges and an Agile Response
In a typical waterfall model, Testing/QA activities are
always late in the game, which increases the cost, schedule
and efforts. In the business world, companies need testers
with strong technical, business and domain skills. The
major challenges are excessive re-work, testing coverage,
lack of smart test automation methods, talented resource
pool, lack of early testing, Innovation and thought
leadership. Also, adopting to Agile and DevOps culture
(shift left) is a major challenge for the industry. Lack of
business-oriented software development continues to be a
major issue for the stakeholders and consumers.

26. Musala Soft JSC is a leading software
services provider in Southeast Europe. It was
founded in 2000 and is headquartered in
Sofia, Bulgaria. The company is an established and
growing market force which embraces constant
evolution to bring together technology and innovation.
Today over 500 Musala Soft professionals work in the
‘hot’ fields of IoT, Big Data, Cloud, AI, Information
Management, Automation Testing, Business Analysis,
and UI&UX.
A Driven Leader
The Founder and CEO of Musala Soft JSC, Delyan
Lilov has turned his passion for competitive
programming into a growing international business.
Establishing a team of former members from the
National Olympiad in Informatics team, like he is by
himself, and combining it with visionary business ideas
he has kept Musala Soft growing and cemented its
reputation as a prestigious, reliable, and long-standing
partner both locally and internationally.
The Blueprints of Success
Since 2005, the company’s strategic focus has been on
Test Automation and it takes great pride in being among
the first companies to adopt that approach so early.
Working with Fortune 500 companies, the company
noticed a demand for software testing services and the
need for the automation of work processes. There was a
need for unconventional and creative approaches;
Musala Soft was confident of success because it already
had high quality standards and owned the expertise
needed. Its software development background and
resources, and the fact that it specialized in the full
software development lifecycle were huge advantages.
Today, the team force of automation test engineers is 70+
experts, all of them ISTQB certified, and experienced in
the entire project lifecycle. “We truly believe that the
qualitative implementation of automation testing is much
more than qualitative test scripts development. As an
established practice for 13 years already and tens of
projects successfully implemented, we have deep
expertise in wide range of tools – proprietary like
Rational and HP testing suits, Microsoft Visual Studio
Team Edition for Software testers and Perfecto Mobile,
open source like Selenium, SoapUI, JMeter, Appium and
even own developed e.g. ATMOSPHERE
(http://atmosphereframework.com). And the extensive list
is much longer. It is the selection of proper tooling for
each particular case and situation, the versed design and
implementation of automation framework and
environment, precise scoping and ROI based analysis,
which makes the benefit of the automation testing
implementation.”
The customers of Musala Soft benefit technological but
also domain expertise in Telecom and Banking. The
company has established long-term partnerships with
several of the biggest Telecommunication companies in
Europe, and some of the top Banks, which recognized
Musala Soft as a center of excellence and has entrusted
the software testing and quality assurance of flagship
products as well as consultancy and implementation of
testing optimization initiatives.
Overcoming Challenges
The software development and testing industry is under
constant and concerted pressure to achieve even higher
levels of optimization and efficiency. Musala Soft has

development through test automation from its very
inception. This has facilitated unprecedented speed and
quality of developments.
The software testing field favors competent players who
adopt and apply the latest advancements in technology
and methodology to provide high-quality, high-efficiency
solutions. This is intimately related to IT talent;
companies with qualified staff who display curiosity and
a knack for unconventional and creative approaches are
the ones that succeed.
Finding, attracting, retaining and developing the
appropriate IT talent is another key challenge. The global
shortfall of IT specialists is around 4.5 million and in
Europe alone, the figure was around 1 million.
One of the key differentiators at Musala Soft is its focus
on investing in human capital, both internally with its
employees, and externally, by contributing to IT
education projects and the development of the IT
community in the region.
Voyaging through Difficulties
18 years ago, Delyan Lilov saw great opportunities in the
software services industry when very few were looking
in that direction.
“Like any other business, it took a lot of work, a little bit
of luck, and a good network of contacts to succeed
initially. We had all the pieces of the puzzle; we were
young, brave, and the endeavor was challenging!”
reveals Delyan.
The company has had ups and downs in its 18 years.
However, its priority has been to evolve through the
experiences to emerge as a sustainable business. Delyan
is extremely proud of the way his team has helped the
company grow organically and develop into a large and
diverse team of qualified professionals.
Aiming for Eminence
Musala Soft intends on achieving its targets to sustain
and flourish in the ever-competitive software market.
The company team currently consists of over 500
professionals and the plan is to reach 1,000 employees
by 2020. It also plans on maintaining a year-on-year
revenue growth rate of 25%.
Delyan concludes, “In its essence, this is the strife for
innovation, creativity, the positive attitude and
enthusiasm and the united team efforts of everyone
because united we are stronger.”
We make the optimal
combination of technologies,
processes, knowledge, tools and
people, and transform it into
business value.

28. he main reason for the invention of website,
TInternet and technology devices that provides the
platform for software to run and connect with each
other is mainly to make networking of services, products
and people possible. Technology leaders such as Cisco,
Arista and Apple are dedicating their resources to provide
various business enterprises and the masses the ability to
communicate their values through technology mediums
called as Networking.
The works and provisions of these organizations are very
outstanding, and are believed to last for ages. This is
because the growth of technology is not going out of style
so soon, but rather it is believed to continue into the future.
Technology networking strategies is good, but to make it
more effective there is the incessant need to incorporate
organic strategies.
You may be asking what I mean by Organic Networking or
Strategies. The organization that will survive in the market
in the near future, considering the increasing rate of
competition are the ones who take the necessary steps, to
develop more human connection for their business, more
than they do for machines such as provided by AI.
The Factors to Consider for an Effective Organic
Networking:
Even as our age is encouraging more of technology
strategies, if we must survive the future of it all, then we
must connect more people, than we do for machines. As an

provider, it is going to pay more, when
you include human intelligence and
physicality in your networking
strategies over machines.
Imagine a day that the machines are
going to have a serious breakdown,
and the owner organization do not have
the capable persons to figure out the
cause of the breakdown and possibly
provide a feasible solution? What will
be the fate of the organization? This
means that, there will be a great loss of
value and possibly a strike off the
industry. I know you would never want
that to happen. So, plan from now, to
never pay for the loss in the future.
Balance Your People to machine
Deployment
Social Medias are for networking,
Newspapers and various Medias are
also for networking, but there are
people behind the arc of this
innovation. The more you incorporate
AI and machine learning strategies,
always remember the need for Control
Engineers and those are human beings.
The most successful organizations
identify the major importance of
people networking and how best to
utilize human intelligence in their
business quest.
For example; if you write an article
and share it on a website, who do you
expect to read your article; human
beings or machines? It is obvious that
the organic networking aspect of
computing will never go out of style;
else, there will be a day in the future
that digital connection and values will
be measured on the number of bots that
read your articles and/or that paid for
your services. So, remember to balance
the rate of your people to machine
deployment, by acknowledging the
need of human networking over
technology networking.
The Need for Organic Sense in
Networking and the Future:
Technology is the miracle of our age,
Artificial Intelligence is a major
molding factor of this development,
IoT is the liberator from machine
isolation by providing the platform to
interconnect millions of them over the
virtual platforms, but humans make
these things possible.
Networking is an innovative concept
with high profile technology terms. If
one does not implore deep interest and
concentration while exploring this
realm, there may be a serious distortion
of original motive of indulgence, and
this can lead to serious breakdown of
enterprise infrastructure. Sometimes, it
maybe direct and other times, it will be
indirect, but in all, it will always have
an impact. The future of technology is
very bright, and that is mainly
dependent on how available we make
the resources to help manage what we
have today in the near future. For this
to be possible, the networking solution
providers must incorporate more of
organic sense in their solutions and
industry advancements.
Technology will advance, more
machines will be connected, devices
will be programmed to run
independently, but in all these things,
the humans in the network will still
rule the universe. The more organic
you make your networking strategies,
the lesser the fear of a disastrous future
for your organization.

32. The dream of forming the largest IT company in
Ukraine began in a small garage lead by three
friends, against all odds. wasNIX Solutions Ltd
founded in 1994 and today, it has become the biggest
company in Kharkiv, the biggest IT hub in Ukraine. Thanks
to the unique approach undertaken at NIX Solutions, the
company has taken a unique direction to meet the demands
of clients through offering specialized managed IT services.
The company has grown and reinvented itself time and
again to meet special demands of the client and is a home to
more than 1500 IT experts today. NIX serves various
businesses from a wide variety of domains including
Biopharmaceuticals and Healthcare, Fintech and Banking,
E-learning and Distance Education. Credit for its unique
approach and software engineering excellence, the
company serves many Fortune 500 companies as well as
some of the fastest developing companies around the world.
The company has also earned a prestigious position in the
industry due to a recognized membership of outsourcing
organizations including GSA and IAOP.
The Evolving World of Testing
Systems have become more complicated and continue to
grow in complexity. Additionally, requirements from the
client end are changing quickly. Moreover, testing has been
given less importance in the planning phase as compared
earlier due to which the budget allocated to it is also
reducing. Hence, even the established players on the market
are presenting tested versions of products which are
sometimes subpar.
NIX Solutions promises to change this world of testing with
a unique approach to bring innovation in QA and testing
practices. The company adheres to the highest professional
standards, improves its clients businesses with
extraordinary outcomes while simultaneously creating an
unrivaled environment for exceptional minds to grow.
For example, Ryan Gerardi, the owner of a media
production house said, “We have been working with NIX
Solutions for nearly 2 years now. NIX Solutions has
consistently provided us with professional top-rate service
and outstanding design work. Their team of account
managers, project managers, and designers are friendly and
enjoyable to work with. They are responsive and
dependable and also bring forth good ideas and objective
input. NIX Solutions is a partner you can count on and be
satisfied within the long haul.”
An All-Embracing Vision
NIX Solutions has not left any stones unturned in its pursuit
of meeting various client requirements and providing a
concrete return. Its philosophy of serving every client with
due diligence and excellence has led to an all-embracing
vision at the company for clients. The company leads with
its motto “whatever you can imagine, we can deliver”.
The founders at NIX Solutions realized that they could do
more than others were doing at that time and providing
separate technology specialists was only a part of what NIX
offered. Companies today are required to infuse large sums
of money in creating in-house expertise. NIX Solutions
helps clients eradicate wastage of resource by providing an
all-in-one solution aligned with their strategy to take their
growth to the next level. The company uses its 20 years of
experience to deliver an all-encompassing IT solution
which includes custom software, enterprise solution, web
development, mobile development, quality assurance, QA
automation, graphic design, remote administration, online
marketing, project management, IT consulting and even
Salesforce implementation.

Braginsky who is a pioneer in the Ukrainian IT industry.
He started his career in 1991 and today has more than 27
years of valuable professional experience under his belt.
One of his biggest achievements in life was starting NIX
Solutions Ltd and he did so without any help from external
financial institutions in 1994. Igor along with two other
founders of the company built the foundation of the firm
from a garage in its early days. During this time, these three
friends were studying at the National Polytechnic
University in Kharkiv, Ukraine and like most cash-crunched
college students, they wanted to earn some extra cash on
top of their scholarship. They took an initiative unlike
anything else and started with selling self-made software
for emerging local markets. At firstly, they started selling to
offline B2B search engines for store facilities, and
accounting and reports for shops and pharmacies.
Today, the company has become a pioneer of Ukrainian IT-
industry. It not only boasts of being the biggest IT-
company in Kharkiv but also the biggest IT-location in
Ukraine. More than 1500 world-class IT specialists are
committed to providing qualitative IT solutions that
facilitate and add value to its clients’ businesses from
various business domains. He and his team have developed
the company into a great established system which delivers
outstanding results every day.
One of his key driving skills is his passion to constantly
pursue excellence. Despite the success of his company, Igor
pursued academic success as a personal goal and in 2013
and 14 respectively, earned a PhD in Software
Development Quality Processes and in Advanced
Management Program as well. He is also a graduate of
Advanced Management Program of The Wharton School of
the university of Pennsylvania and he completed Senior
Executive Program in Stanford’s Graduate School of
Business.
He is also a member of some elite organizations including
Association of Outsourcing Professionals, The Global
Sourcing Association, Supervisory Board of NTU KhPI,
Supervisory Board of the Regional IT-cluster, etc. However,
there is one thing he prize above them all and it is thes
opinion of his team members about him. He has been an
inspirational and devoted leader to the company for more
than 20 years and his colleagues are not shy of
acknowledging his efforts. One of his fellow co-workers
said the following in his testimony, “He is an inspiring
business leader and the best boss I ever knew. Deep
intuition, powerful charisma and extensive knowledge of
various business domains and general business strategy.”
Igor continues to walk the path of excellence at NIX and
guides his team along with him.
NIX Solutions has achieved many milestones in its long
journey. In the near future, its clients can expect great
security, AI Big Data solutions from the company.and
Considering its track record of delivering only the best,

facility in central Toronto, with more than 200
skilled employees QA Consultants is an
award winning provider of software testing and quality
assurance solutions. The organization has successfully
delivered more than 5,000 mission-critical projects in the
private, public and not-for-profit sectors over the last two
decades. Within those sectors, the company has
extensive testing experience and depth in the automotive
industry, banking, consumer goods, insurance, media and
advertising, public affairs, retail, technology, and travel
and tourism industries.
In an ongoing effort to maintain its status as a leader in
research and innovation, and with the continuing support
of the National Research Council of Canada, QA
Consultants founded, developed and built a large facility
in Toronto devoted solely to testing. The Test Factory™
is a continuous quality test lab incorporating a precise
combination of intelligence applied to advanced levels of
automation.
The Test Factory pairs the skilled labor and expertise of
its staff with its proprietary testing methodologies. This
unique blend provides QA Consultants’ clients with
unparalleled and superior quality service. QA
Consultants delivers onshore quality and performance at
low offshore prices. The Test Factory™ alone or in
partnership with its Managed Consulting Services and
On Demand Testing™ delivers highly effective testing
and QA solutions to its wide range of clients.
A Visionary Torchbearer
Alex Rodov is the Managing Partner and Founder of
QA Consultants, which he founded back in 1994 in order
to provide local access to software testing. Alex was one
of the first to treat quality assurance as a field of its own,
and his enduring contribution to the field has been to
establish software testing as a specific skill set. He
established QA Consultants as a dedicated local testing
center of excellence featuring on-demand local access to
professional testers with a wide range of field expertise.
Under his leadership, the company has grown from a
groundbreaking idea into a cutting-edge quality
assurance company recognized as a market leader and a
category killer in the multi-billion-dollar North
American software testing industry. Alex has been
widely recognized for his visionary leadership, including
being selected by Ernst and Young as the Ontario
Entrepreneur of the Year in 2013. His pioneering
innovations have resulted in QA Consultants receiving
the 2012 Business Excellence Award from the Toronto
Board of Trade and a Deloitte designation as one of the
best-managed companies in Canada in 2013.
In 2017, for the third year in a row, Clutch Research Inc.,
an independent research firm in Boston, in a world wide
annual survey reaffirmed QA Consultants as the Top
Systems Application Testing Firm.
When Testing Became a Part of Product Development
Life Cycle
During the technological response to the Y2K threat in
the late 1990s, testing began to emerge as a separate
service which led to the birth of QA Consultants. Very
quickly this service became an essential component of
the product development life cycle. Along with
procedural methodology, testing paved the way for the
company’s success as the organization moved into a new

key is a specialized workforce that is skilled, accessible
and flexible, making it possible to provide a wide range
of industries with just the right solution for their rabidly
growing software development environments.
QA Consultants also believe, with the massive adaption
of internet, enterprise systems, and cloud solutions the
need for testing at multiple points is vital in order to
survive in this ever-competitive market. In today’s IT
world, rigorous testing enables great employee and
client/customer interaction and also actively aids with
the career success of those responsible for delivering
great solutions to the marketplace.
Throughout the years QA Consultants has been
recognized as a prominent employer and job creator, and
continuously encourages and promotes ongoing training
and career advancement.
Tackling Uneven Roads and Preparing for Better
Future
Surveys by Forrester, the world Quality Report and
others show that 32-50 percent, of IT budgets are spent
on testing. Despite this expenditure, vendors often use
designers to do their testing which is not correct.
Companies don’t perform their due diligence when it
comes to security testing, they put up a firewall, when
most of the time, the real threat comes from within.
QA Consultants’ competition is usually a jack of all
trades, where testing is just another line of service they
provide. Its clients realize that when an organization
dabbles in everything then it is not great at anything. QA
Consultants is dedicated to its clients. No one wants to
deal with offshore testers. By now, most of its clients are
burn victims as a result of shoddy offshore work. Being
the largest software onshore testing provider in North
America, QA Consultants has the largest testing facility
dedicated to software testing on the continent.
The organization is planning to continue market
leadership in the software space. Recently, it has signed a
multi-year contract with some of the largest companies
and multiple levels of government in North America.
This plays into QA Consultants’ plan of expansion into
becoming the world leader in testing of autonomous
vehicles. The organization sees its future move into that
space of remarkable software and embedded technology.
We have come a long
way in the past 20 years
and we are very excited
for the future.

he Early Years of Packaged Applications
TFrom the inception of packaged applications, companies of
all sizes have taken advantage of the economies of building,
maintaining, changing and deploying functionality through
third party software providers. Why build a general ledger
or payroll/human resources system when you can license it
instead? Why not leverage out of the box functionality
offered by third party software and rely on the vendor to
offer support and maintenance and stay current on
regulatory, industry and process best practices.
The first generation of mainframe software transformed
quickly as the technology evolved, introducing client-server
as the better, more cost-effective deployment platform. The
applications themselves were still being developed and
deployed in functional silos – their interaction with other
critical functions of the business an after-thought. Although
less than ideal, interfaces were developed to transport data

37. from one system to the next – leading to the introduction of
middle-ware as an economical means of “connecting” the
silos.
At that time, SAP emerged as the leader in delivering
comprehensive, end-to-end business solutions on the most
advanced platforms. They quickly captured the market and
cross-industry adoption continued to deliver best in class
results to their customers. PeopleSoft was also introduced
to the market during this era, initially focusing on the
payroll/human resources market. They ultimately started
developing and delivering ERP and CRM systems as well.
Change continued to accelerate as web-based systems were
introduced which impacted the economic and technological
dynamics of “user requirements,” development,
deployment, and costs.
Throughout this evolution, industries, companies and
individuals not only developed an incredible reliance on the
performance of their “systems,” but forward thinking
organizations saw this as a quick path to competitive
advantage.
The Need for Speed
The problem then as now – how do you accelerate the value
of the technology investment to the business? The
technology was purchased, licensed, and implemented to
achieve a specific set of business benefits. When it comes to
these large enterprise application investments, companies
conduct in-depth evaluations and build business cases to
map out exactly what results they expect to realize. This
typically involves a look at what financial and human
capital investments – time and money – will be needed to
achieve success with a product as well as the financial,
efficiency, and competitive gains that come with the
ongoing use of the software.
On one side of the equation, development methods have
evolved to meet this need for speed. Waterfall
methodologies are being replaced with Agile. DevOps has
become the new buzz-word. But there’s something else to
consider – the business side of things. There is an ever-
increasing reliance on packaged applications to execute and
deliver critical business outcomes. It’s important that
applications are developed and deployed quickly and
changes can be made regularly, but how do you ensure that
business processes are running flawlessly?
Surprisingly, many companies are managing their enterprise
application processes manually. This means hours of white-

board meetings spent trying to understand existing business
processes. Weeks during every project spent writing test
scripts that break when something changes. Delays in
delivery because manual testing can’t keep pace with
business change. The implementation and ongoing
management of enterprise applications is complex, and a
crucial component is making sure that end-to-end processes
work—every time, every day. Manual or first generation

wasted time and energy and companies left open to

software technology to function, to grow and to
redefine future horizons. A smartphone is a
prime example of such development. A glitch in the
software can turn an incredibly helpful machine to
release data to hackers and become a curse overnight for
millions. Hence, it is no surprise that product testing
services are no longer anomalies in the businesses. Their
independent position allows them to provide quality

QA Mentor is taking the next leap in the field of
software testing to minimize costs and maximize

software testing and quality assurance outsourcing
solutions by acquiring various innovative firms located
in different parts of the globe. On its way to success, the
company acquired firms located in India, France and

A Thought-provoking Journey
Any journey is bound to deliver a memorable
experience, but journeys that push an intellect towards its
limits can be enriching as well. QA Mentor faced several
challenges during the initial phase of its journey. As
mentioned earlier, the company was essentially a one-
man shop. Apart from the limited size, the company also
lacked a clear strategic direction. However, the
leadership at the helm made some wise decisions to turn
these difficult situations into learning opportunities. After
engaging their clients on a continuous basis, the QA
Mentor leadership carved a clear roadmap for the long
term success of the company. It quickly occurred to them
that the clients were not merely looking for a strategic
service but the actual execution services.
Similarly, in order to address the need to hire the best
and optimal resources, the company established a
presence in India. It hired quality resources from the
country and established the first outsourcing testing
center. The company, realizing the potential of multiple,
distinct services to its clients, opened a shop in Ukraine.
QA Mentor keeps innovating the testing services to
empower its customers with new ways to build great
products. For example, it recently launched QA
Coverage, a test management platform that allows more
effective and efficient management of testing cycles. It
has now integrated QA Mentor’s test methodology for
requirements static testing, traceability, test case
coverage, defects workflows, regression test cases
repository management, metrics, and KPIs.

41. A Unique Approach To Leadership
Leadership has traditionally been defined by dominance
over others. The attitude of exerting power over others
seems distasteful to many today and most progressive
thinking leaders reject this approach to make way
towards a brighter way of cooperation and knowledge
sharing. The CEO and Founder, Ruslan Desyatnikov
seems to embody this approach in his attitude towards
his work. QA Mentor wishes to let the world see it for
what it is: An Expert software testing solution. The
company also adopts a unique approach to reach this
goal. The company leadership regularly churns out rich
educational material to enrich the incoming hordes of
eager learners in the industry and established
professionals as well.
The company is one-of-a-kind in the industry with its
established QA learning platform that trains thousands of
QA professionals in a variety of testing solutions.
Additionally, the company will launch a new book for
newcomers to become QA tester in 30 days. Ruslan takes
a personal interest in making the company a thought
leader in the industry. He contributes and interacts
regularly to the industry with quality insights through
published articles on Forbes and Linkedin. He believes,
“If the companies around the world wish to achieve
something great with their business, they have to think
about quality and start thinking differently”. His
initiatives and vision has not gone unnoticed. Currently,
QA Mentor boasts of 260 clients based in 27 different
countries around the world.
A Future Full of Opportunities
Every company dreams of becoming the next big thing
in its industry. QA Mentor on the other hand, continues
to prove its exceptional discipline with a firm belief in
core fundamentals. The company has opted to retain a
small sales team which pushes the company to create
innovative products and approaches to seal its position at
the top. The company also invests in its employees
heavily which has led to a resounding victory in terms of
employee loyalty with near 1% attrition rate over the
years.
Additionally, the company has also adopted an
innovative and unique approach to aggressively
challenge clients to test their products. QA Mentor offers
a two week free trial to its clients with the backing of a
five member mentor team to execute the testing solution.
This has resulted in several new clients boarding the
bandwagon of QA Mentor and leaving with an
unparalleled experience to cherish. The company has
also saved its costs considerably with low investments in
marketing and passing on the benefits to the consumers.
The company boasts of 25-35% lower costs as compared
to its competitors in nearly every product segment. The
company has introduced over 50 new KPI’s and metrics
to its new product QAMometor to help clients welcome
a future full of pleasant surprises and golden
opportunities. software testing Company in the world.”

Backing Innovation with a Depth in R&D
Testing is one the Software Engineering’s most neglected
discipline not only in the corporate world but also in
academia. There are thousands of colleges and universities
which prepare students to be a good Software developer.
However, there are just a few which focuses on Software
testing.
Majority of the companies also have a much smaller budget
for their Software testing teams and they are the first one to
be disposed of during difficult times. It has been proved that
QA in the Software industry is highly significant like the
other industries including manufacturing etc,
however; those warnings are never heeded by the leaders of
the Software industry. The biggest challenge in this industry
is inculcating the benefits of Software testing which not
only helps quality but saves a lot of money for companies
in a long run.

With Different
Revenue Streams
S
aaS or ‘Software as a Service’ is being used rigorously in current business ventures as it provides
more accuracy and vision to any business project. Interestingly, with this solution, the importance
of installing the hardware devices to run the data and different applications has lost its
importance. It is a very selective section of cloud computing, through which the future business data
collection process can be simpler than ever. SaaS is a very profitable genre in the field of futuristic
business ventures, and thus a question may arise about the SaaS business, and that is what could be the
revenue stream for such business enterprise, or in general words, the earning process for the SaaS
business!
Unfortunately some people believe that there are no such good ways of earning revenue for Saas
business and if there are some sources, those are very minor in their conducts. Interestingly, the reality
and the current situation are otherwise, and there are a number of ways in which the SaaS business can
earn its revenue. ‘Payment’ to get the software is not the only mode of earning, and the enterpriser of
this business can earn great revenue with multiple options, without stressing out on particular section of
the business venture. Here are some of the solutions:
Set-up Cost and Upsell
A Set-up cost is one of the common ways to earn the revenue and it gives clarity to the providers about
the authenticity of the users and determines the commitment too, thus it is a great way to explore the
minds of the customers and the possible future relationship with the users. On the other hand the set up
earning can actually lead to the upsell market for the SaaS providers. It is one of the easiest ways to
enhance the revenue through the existing customers, and it is a great business opportunity, as this way
of earning lessens the dependency of the brand on the pressure of adding up new customers. To
maintain the continuity with the existing customers certain facilities like offering additional storage,
speed, data, bandwidth or the frequency are enlisted as 'services'. Though, this process of earning is
largely dependent on the benefit of the product or the service, along with the need or requirement of the
client.
Affiliate Marketing
It is another great way to boost the earning for the SaaS business as, through this process, it becomes a
two-way system to get business, where the users advertise or sell the product. As the process is
SAAS

49. dependent on the users, it is not dependent on any
other external way from the business providers'
side. The SaaS providers are only responsible to
pay the commission after getting the revenue. So
it is definitely a win-win situation for the SaaS
providers.
Customer Service and Information Charges
Saas providers are on the verge of adding a new
structure for great revenue, which are customer
service and information charges. As with this
system, the business providers offer to sale some
of the researched information to the clients. It is
not very difficult for the clients to value them by
paying the money as they are getting a great help,
and interestingly it can work for the clients to
cling to the services which can create the path for
more business. Basically, a great customer service
is the key to earn good money and with the
satisfaction of the customers; the process can be
on the loop for a great revenue system.
Advertisement
Advertisements are the most common sector of
earning money, and it is the best way of earning through
the free version users, but not very apt for the paid
customers. As the paid customers already pay a certain
amount, adding advertisements can create a negative
impact on them. So even if the ads are there, they must
be in a way that looks less annoying for the users.
API Model
This is rather a complicated but effective method of
earning lucrative revenue. If the SaaS can coordinate or
work with other software applications, the importance
of it can rise to a whole new level. This work model can
do magic for some of the users and it can have a great
value or earning in the future. But this great system
comes with certain risks, and the reason is, the amount
of money invested to create and run it. But if the
developers can be assured of its service and the demand
of the customers, it can turn out to be a great money-
making option.
Reselling
When some of the SaaS is so apt that the potential
customers want to avail it for their business purpose,
the tie-up with the providers or the reselling of the
product can be beneficial form the point of view of the
revenue. This process is known as the White Label
Licensing.
At the end of this discussion, the conclusion is, a better
service can open up new trails for Revenue Streams for
SaaS Business. SaaS is not a new concept, but the vast
implication is definitely new. So there are a number of
scopes yet to be explored by the developers of this new
business. Thus, the future and the success of SaaS
business is dependent on exploring various ways for
SaaS revenue, and with more innovative ideas for the
revenue, the market of SaaS business will be more
strengthened to touch the zenith.

50. Verifysoft Technology GmbH is vendor of
Testwell CTC++, a leading code coverage
analyzer for embedded software. Since its
founding in 2003, the company has established a
presence in over 40 countries and recorded growth of
more than 40% last year. The company believes
software testing is an essential service and its
importance will only increase in the future.
Software testing helps companies by improving the
efficiency, reliability and lifespan of software. On the
other hand, untested software can not only impact the
reputation of a company but also put people’s lives at
risk.
Verifysoft believes in delivering quality software
which improves productivity and lowers operational
costs. In line with its philosophy of providing the
highest levels of customer satisfaction, the company
also offers advanced tools through support services.
These tools are aimed at undertaking static code
analysis. Verifysoft also offers training to software
developers and quality managers.
An Honest Foundation to Driving Growth
One of the core principles at Verifysoft Technology is
to be honest and fair with customers and co-workers.
The inspirational pillar of strength for the company
and the culture it embodies has always been Klaus
Lambertz, its Founder and CEO.
Klaus graduated with a degree in Economics and then
worked for several top companies, where he realized
that true satisfaction for him lay in starting and
running his own business. He explains, “The driving
power is not security or a nice salary, but liberty and
the spirit to do something useful”.
Having led the company for the last 15 years, Klaus
has achieved phenomenal results, which he attributes
to his versatile, motivated team. He continues to find
the journey both challenging and extremely rewarding
every day.
Growing Challenges and Changing Dynamics
Verifysoft has established itself as a leader in
providing software testing solutions which are
efficient and reliable. However, the company’s
leadership still does not shy away from seeing the
bigger picture and taking on new challenges.
There are several key trends emerging in the software
testing industry. One of these is the rapid increase in
the size and complexity of software. Additionally,
clients’ increasing demands for feature-rich software
is driving intense competition within the industry.
Today, companies are pushed into exposing the
control functions of their applications through web
interfaces. This gives rise to a new set of challenges
for software testing providers like Verifysoft.
However, the leadership at the company is embracing
such challenges and constantly strategizing new ways
to deliver software quickly while incorporating the
highest standards of web protection.
In many industries, governments regulate the quality
of software in order to make it safe to use. Software
for aircraft control is a prime example of this
approach. The recent increased scrutiny of software by
lawmakers represents growth opportunities for
Verifysoft.
A Unique Strategy
Verifysoft has positioned itself strategically to appeal
to clients with a wide range of requirements.
Currently, the company covers all aspects of software

CTC++ for embedded C and C++. The tool is used for
Java and C# as well.
Over the years, Verifysoft has established itself as an
off-road vehicle for software testing solutions. Its
CTC++ test system is extremely reliable even in the
most adverse and challenging circumstances. It works
with all compilers, embedded targets, and cutting edge
programming methods to deliver a flawless, smooth
experience.
The company continues to inspire admiration and
support from its partners. The management team at
Verifysoft believes they have a good product on their
hands, and they give client satisfaction top priority. It
is expected that this will establish the foundation of
industry-wide leadership in the long run.
Lucrative Opportunities
When Verifysoft was founded in 2003, the company
distributed the solutions of the Finland based company
Testwell to companies of all sizes based in Germany,
France and other European markets. In 2013
Verifysoft purchased the intellectual property rights
for the Testwell tools, which are now distributed all
over the world.
Verifysoft took the opportunity to work with this great
product and brought it to a new level through
continuous development by a dedicated 50-member
team. The company has also taken the distribution of
the products by taking the product to large MNCs and
it has also reached small and medium sized firms to
spread core appeal of the product.
Klaus initially did experience challenges when he was
compelled to fund his venture through large capital
investments, a move which carried inherent risks.
Today, the company is looking at a promisingly
lucrative future where software testing can account for
as much as 90% of the budget dedicated to developing
software.
Klaus is a firm believer in the bright prospects of
Verifysoft Technology as it continues to change
software testing through innovation and customer
satisfaction.
Verifysoft Technology will continue to
support development and test
departments with tailor-made tools,
especially for developing embedded,
safety and security-critical software.

52. One of the greatest agonies in test automation is the
time and effort spent to continuously testing what
has been developed. The simpler and the more
straight-forward the mobile applications look to the
customer, the more complex they are in the background. As
the number of of mobile platforms and devices increases,
enterprises need to provide their developers with effective
way to test across the platforms — testing fast, verifying
the code quickly.
Why is it so important? Because continuous digital
transformation is an inevitable part of growing the business.
Often more than 60% of customer interactions happen
through the smartphones. What is the number like at your
business? Anyway, an effective mobile testing needs to be
in place to accomplish a successful and smooth delivery on
Digital Transformation promise, and to avoid loss of money
and prestige. Every kind of transformation project comes
across a certain resistance; a mobile application delivered
with no issues will minimize this resistance.
Better Application through Continuous Testing
Most of our customers in Continuous Software are
switching to agile project delivery in order to rapidly
evaluate and provide for the internal and external demands.
The traditional test processes, which are done at the end
phase of a project, remain insufficient for the agile
management. For better quality and a rapid outcome, testing
and development has to be a continuous process of DevOps
course. Thanks to test automation scripts throughout the
whole development process, softwares and applications can
be tested before going through end-user tests with minimum
amount of problems.
One of the key trends in the market is the increase of native
application development, which enables the usage of
mobile devices in a broader spectrum. With the increasing
demand towards more complex, stronger functionalities and
interface, the responsive design techniques are outdated. To
provide an optimum result for mobile testing, conducting
the tests with actual devices, a device lab, has a large
importance. The problem here is how the manual testers
and test automation systems will share devices. This is
solved by creating a mobile device lab according to
producers, models and operating systems.
Renting a device lab on cloud, uploading your scripts and
running your tests in a parallel execution costs you serious
amount of money. We couldn’t ignore the fact that this
method makes our customers’ apps less profitable every
minute. If you create an actual device lab by purchasing
every kind of smartphones out there, you still ned a web
interface to run all those scenarios and scripts to manage
your mobile device lab.
Continuous Software developed an interface, where you can
run your scripts on different devices with its own cloud
