Great Experience With Design Optimise on Our Quality Assurance & Testing Project

Daniel Al Mansoori / Head of Product | Sep 30, 2026

Design Optimise did good work for us, and we would use them again. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks.

I would recommend Design Optimise to anyone looking for a dependable Quality Assurance & Testing partner.

Project summary

We partnered with Design Optimise to take over manual and regression testing before each release. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Divya Menon / Head of Digital Transformation | Aug 11, 2026

The project went well overall. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The Mobile App Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We engaged Design Optimise to develop a field-staff app with offline mode that syncs back to our main system. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The project took roughly 7 months from kickoff to launch.

Good results, communication improved as the project went on

Amanda Nguyen / Co-Founder & CTO | Aug 10, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

Our company worked with Design Optimise to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 7-month engagement.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Cloud Services Team

Arjun Joshi / IT Director | Aug 02, 2026

Our experience with Design Optimise was really positive from start to finish. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly.

We would definitely work with them again.

Honest advice and solid execution

Ananya Shah / Co-Founder | May 30, 2026

Design Optimise did an excellent job for us. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

The Software Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. We would definitely work with them again.

Capable Quality Assurance & Testing team — happy with the end result

Callum Clarke / Chief Digital Officer | May 09, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

Skilled Software Development Team That Understood Our Business

Jessica Henderson / Co-Founder & CTO | Mar 15, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. We would definitely work with them again.
