The client’s company is a startup that creates complicated software products that are used by manufacturing companies to conduct simulations of different aspects of their production lines.

The client was looking to get into a long-term relationship with a vendor that could bring a full team of experienced developers but who could also contribute some architectural elements, and that they could outsource QA engineering set up.

AdvantISS was responsible for most web stack development. Our engineers used .NET technologies and JavaScript frameworks on the front-end. We ended up working primarily with C#. .NET, and Vue.js. 

The client has an in-house team that is focused on the 3D part, and they have a senior project architect and CTO on their side. But there is a project manager on our side to take more of the administrative tasks, planning, and time management so we could become semi-autonomous.

As the product has become more complex, we played a strong role in ensuring that the QA engineering side of the testing framework has been implemented in a way that has helped us maintain and more importantly, improve quality.

• Migrate legacy web management console application from Angular.js MVC to Vue.js SPA
