Turning the tide: ‘Software testing can be done perfectly off-site’

Brightest Office 1 16 9
Turning The Tide Brightest

Brightest is a software testing specialist. ‘We are 100% capable of providing our services remotely,’ says managing partner Pieter Chiau. ‘This allows us to guarantee the continuity of business, our work and that of our customers – even in quarantine times.’

No impact on the work

Brightest provides pragmatic, affordable test solutions to development teams that want to produce the best possible software. ‘A situation like this is a test of your company structure and processes,' says Pieter. ‘Our 65 employees are qualified test experts with a huge amount of experience. Brightest gives them maximum flexibility. Previously, we were working remotely partly already; now, completely. We didn’t have to start from scratch. This means that we can shift gears quickly. It’s a small adjustment for the team, with no impact on the work we deliver.’

‘We follow our client's wishes, no doubt about that, but today, 9 out of 10 clients prefer remote collaboration. We are judged by results.’

New collaborations

Even new collaborations can be started remotely. ‘Through a Brightscan assessment, we identify the needs in terms of testing within a company. Normally, we organize face-to-face interviews, now we conduct the interviews via video. In the past, we have carried out off-site Brightscans several times. It works fine.'

Bright Being

‘Our Bright Being programme helps our people to improve their soft skills or develop technical expertise’, says Liene De Bie, recruiting expert. ‘On top of that, we offer coaching on wellbeing and health. We believe that even customers will benefit from this approach, particularly in challenging times.’

‘We set up surveys and individual interviews to stay up-to-date with how people are doing and the issues they are facing. We also have virtual team meetings. Last week, we organized an ‘e-peritif’ with our employees. Everyone got an aperitif package delivered at home and we raised a glass together during an ‘aperi-call’. This kind of thing helps us stay connected.’

Among the companies Brightest works with are Veepee, Van In and Attentia. Read the case studies on the Brightest website.

In the past, we have done quite a few of these assessments remotely for companies that are familiar with this way of working.
