"We had been working with a handful of different vendors, and at the time we realized that Klizer was way above the rest from in terms of communication and technical expertise. We knew that they were working for us and had our best interests in mind. One thing that I really appreciate from Klizer was their ability to communicate. Their communication skills were above and beyond what I have experienced with vendors. The relationship was such a great fit that we brought on Klizer employees in-house to work with us directly."

To achieve this, we detect critical bugs at an early stage of the release itself, thus ensuring higher productivity by doing cross-browser testing, which reduces the adverse experiences faced by the end users in browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, IE edge(Mobile platform)
