Vention Reviews & Testimonials

Mobile App Development Review from Lee Tupper
Vention has delivered excellent design prototypes and accurate time estimates. The app is still in beta mode, and the partnership with [...] Vention will [continue] until the release of the next version. Vention is a reliable team that offers quality service. (Verified via email)

Staff Augmentation Review from Jon Wade
Vention’s efforts allowed the successful development of the product, resulting in new customers. They provided backend developers, business analysts, UI designers, and QA testers to develop our solution. Vention cultivated a seamless partnership through constant updates and a collaborative approach. Overall, their team’s well-rounded expertise was impressive.

Web Development Review from AJ Canty
We’ve been working with Vention for quite some time and consider them an extension of our team, rather than an offshore vendor. We needed solid mobile developers to work with our in-house engineers to build our Primer SDKs on both mobile platforms. This was not a trivial thing as it required a lot of cross-functional communication, but the Vention team was up to the challenge. They quickly adopted the best practices we follow at Primer and proved to be effective and proactive.

Software Development Review from Daniel Rondell
We are notably satisfied with the upshot. PMs and development team was very devoted to the tasks and encouraging. We had a stringent and fixed deadline. And we got it just in time! KitRUM helped us to create an entire software that absolutely meets our requirement. They had presented the system in a short-term after putting their hands on it. They also provide support after developing this software. We have a different project now and certainly will work with KitRUM again.

Software Development Review from Adelina Romanova
KitRUM expanded our team to shift software to a new platform. Using JavaScript and RESTful APIs, they improved interfaces and DevOps, and fixed bugs. The team has always been on time. Their ability to understand the business requirements and their communication was just perfect. I definitely will recommend KitRUM as a reliable partner.

Software Development Review from Daisy Skot
KitRUM made a variety of development services: conception, coding, and QA, which means almost a full software package for our company. We needed to develop a few tasks, for example, a desktop app for our store, a cloud app for administration and supervision, and a portable app for end customers. However, we had an in-house team, which is not enough for this project. So we had to find a dedicated team that could deliver all we needed. We found KitRUM as a top-notch software development company

Wearables Review from Issac John
A global OTT provider - Discovery+ earlier this year, had a breakthrough launch in a cluttered OTT market like India with a differentiated product targeted at lifelong learners and passionate communities. The team at Robosoft played a significant role in building this multi-platform experience spanning iOS, Android, Web and Fire TVs. Their team comprises an extremely dedicated bunch of folks with a keen problem solving approach and under the stellar leadership of Ravi Teja, Jay Shah, Srinidhi Rao and Pooja Bal, they have been the kind of dependable partners that a lot of brands would be fortunate to have. I wish them and their team the best for their future.

Mobile App Development Review from Deepak Porayath
Our experience working with Robosoft has been quite good in terms of product and outcomes. With our CapitaStar@Work app for India business, the end goal was to bring our customers and their employees onto a digital platform. The objective was to integrate our solutions such as visitor, parking, and ticketing system management into a single app. CapitaStar@Work caters to our requirements and surely will make life simpler for our users. I would recommend Robosoft to others because it is a good organization to implement technological interventions in any traditional manufacturing, real estate, or brick-and-mortar industry.

Flutter Development Review from Undisclosed
The company has a salesman who overpromised, but once the project started, he was never found to address the underdeliver. Since the first brief, I made clear our products two main selling points. Two years after, I have had to learn some code to look under the hood and discover a half-baked and improvised "solution". Now, I ended up with an incomplete product that fails to deliver the two main functions I requested (and was promised). On top of that, there is a lack of order in terms of naming, cleanliness, and hierarchy. I cant recommend them.

Mobile App Development Review from Joseph Rudolph
We engaged Leo Coders several weeks ago to undertake the development of our application. Their professionalism and mastery of their craft have left us thoroughly impressed. Despite the intricacy of our project specifications, their team adeptly engineered our application from the ground up in under two months, a feat we initially estimated to require six to eight months. Furthermore, they graciously provided us with a few extra weeks for beta testing and marketing, which significantly contributed to our launch success. We are exceedingly pleased with their expeditious delivery and commend their team for their exceptional performance. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Leo Coders for any technical solution needs."

I was looking for a company to help with a live calendar system that was visible to several operators who were out on the road. Any updates needed to be in real time across the board. The team at AppDrawn came up with an off the shelf product. They set the system to suit our needs and provided training to all users. The service was 1st class and extremely reasonable. AppDrawn went out of their way to cater for our needs. Brilliant!Ray White Oven Wizards

Peggy McCabe's Review Sourced from Google
ISBX is a very professional and talented web development company. The overall experience I had with them in the redesign of our website was outstanding. They were extremely creative, provided viable options at all junctures, and delivered on time and on budget. ISBX also provided a very hands-on, and professional team who understood our need for brand engagement and outreach to a new audience with our website refresh. The team also optimized the new site for mobile usage which was very important to us. ISBX successfully executed our complex project efficiently, with excellent communication and attention to detail at every step. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
Kim Farley's Review Sourced from Google
ISBX helped us from concept to launch without any issues. They were communicative, patient, and able to quickly implement solutions to project changes that came up along the way. We appreciate that they took the time to hold our hands with explanations and detailed questions to make the process as stress free as possible and to get a good understanding of our product.
Tony Alfaro's Review Sourced from Google
I've been a client of ISBX for nearly three years. They are hands down the best development firm I have ever worked with. They are on budget and on time consistently. They are trustworthy, highly communicative, and very versatile. Nothing is in the "too hard box" for them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Software Testing Companies
What services do software testing firms provide?
Software testing companies provide different testing services to identify errors, security risks, performance issues, and how the software behaves in real-life situations and across devices. As part of their software testing service, they also check if each feature works as expected, fix bugs, make improvements, and make sure new software development updates don’t break existing functions, so the software quality remains stable.Â
Core services include:Â
- Functional testing Â
- Performance testing Â
- Security testing Â
- Usability testing Â
- Regression testing Â
- Automation testing Â
- Accessibility testing  Â
- Mobile app testing Â
- API testing Â
- Compatibility testing across devices/browsers Â
- Compliance testing Â
- Testing with artificial intelligence (AI) tools
- QA auditÂ
How much do software testing services cost?
Hourly rates for QA testing range from $25 to $200+. The final cost is determined based on the size of the software or application, its complexity, required testing type, tech stack (custom-built and older legacy systems cost more), and niche. Â
The rate will also depend on the seniority of the software tester. Across the United States, junior quality assurance (QA) tester may charge $70 to $110 per hour, while the rate for a senior QA mentor and automation engineer can range from $130 to $200 per hour. Â
Special software testing services such as QA audit goes from $5,000 to $25,000.Â
How can businesses know what type of software testing do they need?
Businesses can determine what type of testing solutions they need based on the potential impact of failures and the likelihood of defects. Namely, if they encounter:Â Â
- Core functionality issues: Use functional testing to verify features work as expectedÂ
- Unstable code or new features: Use unit testing for individual components and integration testing for modules working togetherÂ
- Poor system stability after updates: Seek regression testing to make sure new changes didn't break existing featuresÂ
- Performance and load issues: Use performance and load testing to evaluate speed and scalabilityÂ
- Security issues: Security and penetration testing are commonly used across apps handling sensitive user dataÂ
- Hard-to-navigate user experience (UX): Pursue usability testing to determine how intuitive the application is for end usersÂ
- Low compatibility across devices: Compatibility testing can evaluate how good the app works on different browsers, devices, and OS versionsÂ
There is also the option to choose between manual and automated testing. Â
Is automated testing more expensive than manual testing?
As an investment, automated testing is pricier than manual testing but offers a lower cost-per-test over time as it can run the same scripts repeatedly, without human intervention. Conversely, manual testing entails lower upfront fee, but its cost grows linearly as the project grows, as every test cycle requires paid hours from QA testers. Â
So, for short-term projects or ones with shifting requirements, manual testing is considered a more economical option, whereas for maintenance and regression cycles, automated testing grants better return on investment.Â
The main distinction between these methodologies is that manual testing relies on human observation and interaction to identify defects, whereas automated testing uses software scripts to compare outcomes against predicted results. Â
Manual testing is best suited for exploratory testing, usability assessments, ad-hoc bug hunting, and minor hotfix verifications where script development would be inefficient. Automated testing, on the other hand, is primarily used for regression testing to make sure the new code does not break existing features.Â
How do businesses measure the effectiveness of software testing?
The effectiveness of the software testing is measured via:Â
- Code coverage: The percentage of the code that has been testedÂ
- Defect density: The number of defects found per unit of codeÂ
- Test case effectiveness: The percentage of test cases that identify defects; helps prune redundant and ineffective testsÂ
- Time to detect and fix defects: The time it takes to identify and fix software defects and software bugsÂ
- Defect leakage: The number of bugs that "escaped" to production versus those caught during the testing phase Â
