We believe that a user's first impression with the application or feature will serve as the foundation for future experiences both positive or negative. By combining our own unique, individual perspective with a deep understanding of an application's systems and use cases, diverse feedback on engineering processes, product design choices and code change implications can occur. We design, we develop and we review test systems, test strategies and product quality processes to protect the stability of the application from future product changes that could inhibit everyday users from the value we set out to provide.
