For the second straight year, tap|QA is proud to announce their appearance on the Inc 5000 List!  In 2015, tap|QA ranked #3813 on Inc. Magazine’s annual list of America’s Fastest Growing Companies.

From 2011-2014, tap|QA experienced a growth rate of 79%.  The company remained one of the youngest companies on the list, having been founded just 5 years ago, in 2010.

“It’s been remarkably exciting to see our growth since our inception,” said Partner Tim Guilfoil.  “Our consultants are the best in the business at what they do – in so many emerging areas such as test automation, continuous integration, and mobile device testing.  This has helped us grow within a terrific group of clients around the country.”

Partner Michael Faulise added “this is proof positive that our near-shore QA services are so effective – we’re delivering a top-quality product at an extremely reasonable cost.  Our growth in clients outside of the Twin Cities show us that companies are adopting the near-shore philosophy, and our investments locally into the top QA talent in Minnesota allow us to be the provider of choice for so many clients nationwide.”

Partner Kim Bunda, herself a QA leader of tap|QA’s near-shore teams, added “It’s been a blessing to be able to work with so many talented consultants – we’re excited to grow so many great QA professionals while they help us grow our company.”
