Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know clearly explained

Do you offer nearshore Appium mobile test automation services?

Yes. First Factory's nearshore QA engineers build cross-platform mobile test automation with Appium for both iOS and Android from a single test suite. Working from Costa Rica on US Eastern time, they integrate the tests into your CI pipeline so mobile regressions are caught before release.

Can nearshore QA engineers automate testing for our mobile app?

Yes. We assess your app's critical flows, build a maintainable Appium suite around them, and run it across real devices and emulators. We wire the tests into CI so they run on every build. First Factory has published guidance on mobile QA automation and brings deep testing experience to the work.

How quickly can you staff a nearshore mobile QA team?

Most QA teams are assembled and ready in two to six weeks. We vet every engineer for technical skill and English fluency, and you can interview them before they are assigned. Every resource comes with a 30-day risk-free guarantee, so you can confirm the fit before committing further.
