Celebrating 30 Years of LogiGear

By Adam Wendel Customer Success Geek & Renewal Manager with LogiGear Corporation

We’re celebrating 30 years of excellence in testing & automation. Throughout the last three decades, expectations continues to increase exponentially for both speed and quality. LogiGear helps clients adapt to this change with next-level quality assurance. In this article, I’m proud to share reasons why customers choose LogiGear and the success stories delivered made possible by an amazing group of people dedicated to delighting customers.

First, I want to share how it began. Hung Nguyen came to the US in 1983 as a boat refugee. With just a high school diploma, he arrived in San Francisco with no money. He spent the next ten years working full-time and put himself through college at the University of Silicon Valley in 1992. During this time, he began pioneering the art and science of software testing.

Early in his career, he was privileged to work with, then a startup, 美国艺电公司 , founded by Trip Hawkins , followed by another startup, USRobotics / Palm Computing , led by Jeff Hawkins (co-founder of Palm Computing, PalmPilot, Handspring, and Treo) and Donna Dubinsky (former CEO of Palm, Inc. and co-founder of Handspring). Hung is the author and co-author of several well-known and top-selling publications in the field. After also serving in technical leadership roles in a few other software companies, he founded LogiGear with headquarters in San Mateo, California in 1994.

After serving in technical leadership roles in a few other software companies, Hung Nguyen founded LogiGear with headquarters in San Mateo, California in 1994. Along with Hans Buwalda & Michael Hackett successfully led the development and launch of a series of Made-in-Vietnam test automation products including TestArchitect.

We appreciate the opportunity and value the trust each client gives us to provide solutions from startups to large enterprises around the world. Since inception, LogiGear has been trusted by:

• 700+ brands
• 50+ Fortune 500 Companies
• 20+ Early Startups
• 12,000+ Successful Projects
• 20 Different Industries

Our impact creates performance, scalability, efficiency, and high-quality product delivery. In other words, we save costs, while customers remain more productive, take risks and utilize our expertise to solve bigger problems. As one client asserted, “LogiGear’s Global Test Automation solution simply blew away our expectations of what could be achieved with automated testing. We’ve gone from struggling with traditional test automation tools to having a coordinated testing effort between three countries across two continents that is producing 100% test automation,” Tony Hinojosa, Director of Engineering, Hewlett-Packard.

Creating Solutions with Trusted Experience

In a 2023 survey of our QA leaders, VPs & CTOs, we asked what was at the core of how we make an impact. Consistent themes circle around optimizing software development for performance, scalability, efficiency, and high-quality product delivery. Clients trust in our history and ability to deliver long-term value.

We scale QA with feature growth, timely delivery and rapid test automation implementation. At the tail end, we minimize the risk of introducing bugs through regression testing. Heather Della Rocca, QA Manager with Intuit, put it this way “LogiGear's solutions have had a significant positive impact. We purchased both test automation and consulting services; as a result, we have a clearly defined, scalable and maintainable automation strategy to meet our current and future needs. Simply put, LogiGear has saved both time and money for Intuit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these services to any of my professional colleagues, both within and outside of Intuit."

What LogiGear clients value most is the skillset, flexibility, and strategic support. You can count on LogiGear to eliminate technical backlogs and deliver next level test design, automation and software development. In addition to our services, we have an automation tool TestArchitect that can cut regression times from months to hours. As mentioned by Adam Au, Centrify VP of Engineering, “TestArchitect? has enabled us to create and reuse test automation across dozens of platforms. We've automated nearly all our testing, which has a huge positive impact on our release cycles." (More available in the story link)

Goals Achieved with LogiGear Service:

• Performance testing and engineering
• Scaling Quality Assurance (QA) alongside product feature expansion
• Driving timely delivery of high-quality products
• Rapid implementation of test automation
• Minimizing the risk of bugs through automated full regression testing

Scaled Outcomes that Delight Long-Term

Clients can spread workload cost-effectively to cover peaks and valley situations by augmenting their teams with our talent. We bring expertise in test design and test coverage. Then, there are new capabilities such as API testing and manual test case writing. There is so much value in bringing automation to the software development process.

“Not only has LogiGear provided us with a maintainable and scalable automated testing framework that completely tests our system in a matter of days rather than weeks, they also helped us raise the bar on our overall testing effort through more effective test planning and manual testing,” Steve Giammarinaro Leap Wireless - QA Manager. (More available in the story link)

LogiGear redefines what is possible in automation - we can optimize automation coverage from 0% to 90% coverage. For example, Jaime Tischart, McAfee - a past Senior Director of QA at McAfee shared “LogiGear delivered a fully innovative turnkey solution that is fully automated, low-cost and has expanded our testing coverage to 90%.” In another success story, a client went from 4 apps to 25 apps automated and eliminated several long regressions.

For another, we reduced downtime and speed of critical bug detection. Developers that work with us can focus on critical projects trusting in our production. As one developer client puts it, "LogiGear gives us the confidence to take risks, make changes and do it quickly,” Matt Ullery, Identifi, Senior Software Developer.

We love seeing our stakeholders excel in their careers and be promoted. They are more agile to take risks & lead their organizations while trusting our team & products. We take pride in the individual connection, which we are thankful to be repeat business serving them again in other future roles. “Help us greatly - finding edge case bugs and identifying areas of concern. We send bugs to LogiGear for verification with high confidence saving us time. Our quality of product goes up and so does our profit,” said Arthur Yeung, Sr. Director of Engineering.

We’re excited to continue another 30 years. We are excited to face new challenges in AI, machine learning and automation to new levels. The strategic value partnership with LogiGear offers a path for clients to not only streamlined operations but also enhance the clients’ standing within their respective industries. LogiGear aims to delight and position partners for long-term success.
