QA for advertising resource management system

MINT engaged DeviQA in 2019 to establish scalable QA and release processes for its advertising automation platform. The initial scope focused on restructuring development workflows, formalizing testing, and introducing Agile delivery practices. The QA team was embedded into MINT's Agile development process.

The work began with an assessment of MINT's QA, project management, and release workflows. The team defined workflows that made responsibilities, progress, and release status visible across the project. Project and release documentation was created to standardize internal processes.

As the product grew, the delivery organization was divided into separate squads, each with a defined scope and isolated sandbox environment. Independent squad workflows helped reduce feature delivery time from 1–2 months to no more than 2 weeks. Daily meetings, feature demonstrations, and retrospectives were introduced to coordinate work across squads.

Frequent requirement changes during releases created a need for earlier business validation. A dedicated production-like environment was created for user acceptance testing (UAT). The environment allows the business team to validate new features before production deployment.

Testing was incorporated into each squad's feature and release workflow. Features pass through documented testing and business-validation stages before release. The resulting process supports 4–5 releases per day across multiple squads. QA engineers collaborate with developers to test features, integrations, fixes, and release candidates.

A team of 21 QA engineers supports more than 15 product squads. Each squad has defined QA responsibility for its features and integrations. Across the engagement, the team has supported 800+ releases and reported 5,500+ defects.
