Emergency Rescue: QA-Driven Development Transformation
How we helped a client meet their deadline with strategic staffing and QA optimisation
The Challenge
Our client approached us in a state of emergency. With a critical client deadline just two weeks away, they had a substantial backlog of work and initially requested five engineers to start immediately.
After our consultation, we identified that their core issues were centered around:
- Post-deployment failures causing production instability
- Recurring bugs that weren't being systematically addressed
- Need for a major SSO feature implementation
- Absence of standardized QA processes
Client Situation
Engineers
To start immediately
Timeline Constraint
2 weeks to meet client deadline

Bug-Fix Specialist

Focused on SSO implementation
Our Approach
Rather than simply providing the requested five engineers, we proposed a more strategic solution:
- Quality First: We deployed two QA specialists (including a lead) to establish proper testing processes.
- Process Documentation: We created comprehensive QA documentation within 7 days.
- Targeted Development: We added specialized engineers—one for bug fixes and one for the SSO feature.
- Rapid Response: We mobilized our team to start the very next day after agreement.
