Test automation evaluation guide
Replacing or complementing manual software testing with test automation may bring substantial benefits. On the other hand, test automation is not suitable to all situations; it's not always cost efficient or even necessary. With our guide you'll find out whether test automation would be suitable for you right now.
Remote work handbook
VALA rapidly switched to almost 100% remote work when COVID-19 hit. Shortly we started to gather tips and ideas from VALA people relating to remote work. Soon there was so much content that we decided to turn it into a guide, a 48 page guide to be accurate. Whoops. Even though this guide is for VALA people, we thought it would be nice to make it public to share our tips for you too. Also, this serves as another window into our culture for those who are interested.
