March marks the announcement of CheQ’s partnership with QAI Global Institute - a Competency Development Division that focuses on international education and training products and services that address the competence development, assessment and certifications which cater to large pools of manpower requiring skills for increased employability.
It was done during the third CheQPoints Session where it featured the expansion of the company’s training services through its partnership with QAI. The session was entitled “Building a Professional Career in Software Testing.” It was conducted last March 4 at CheQ’s Training Laboratory with guest speaker Mr. Pradeep Chennavajhula, CEO of the Edista Testing Institute – an independent industry of QAI for the field of Software Testing.
Starting the discussion with five questions assessing the personality and nature of the participants as software testers, Pradeep discussed the importance of acquiring professional certification in advancing one’s career for increased expertise and competence. CheQ Systems and QAI both believes that this expertise should go beyond the basic know-how and this can be achieved by including professional experiences, best practices, and strategic approach in building the overall qualification of a software tester.
Moreover, CheQ’s roster of competent trainers – CEO and President Roel Hernandez, CQO Eden Hernandez, R&D Manager Rommie Patricio, and Courseware Development staff Cristina Garfin and Evangeline Mancilla – became QAI Authorized Instructors for Software Testing as they all passed the examination held last March 30 at CheQ’s Training Laboratory, thus attesting our objective of serving our clients with best possible foundation for skills and knowledge in software quality engineering and testing.
CheQ Systems, represented by CQO Eden Hernandez and Business Development Manager Wilma Sapalaran, successfully participated at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco last March 9-13. The company joined 9 more member organizations of the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP) -- Anino Games, Digital Art Chefs Creative Media Studios, Inc., Komikasi Enterprise, MoAnima, Inc., FunGuy Studio, SunGame SEA, Inc., Suspended Animation Media, Inc., The Studio of Secret 6, Inc., and Techfactors, Inc. -- as exhibitor, carrying the “Philippines” brand. The main objective was to showcase and promote the Filipino talent in game development.
CheQ as a software quality engineering and testing services provider is not only into business systems but is very much into game testing as well.

We invite you for an opportunity to attend the world’s largest professionals-only game industry event happening on March 9-13, 2010 at Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. Take a chance to meet, network, and build partnerships with investors and organizations at this year’s Game Developers Conference (GDC) where thousands of attendees consist of programmers, artists, producers, game designers, audio professionals, business decision-makers and others involved in the development of interactive games meet up and gather for learning, inspiration, and networking.
As part of CheQ’s continuous promotion of its quality services outside the Philippines, CheQ Systems, Inc. will participate as an exhibitor, together with the member organizations of the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP). This is one of its strategic steps towards its vision ‘to become a World Class Provider of Software Quality Engineering and Testing Services.’
Game developers can outsource their testing to us, and this will give them the advantage of having an external, unbiased, and a third-party organization to test their games.
Our testing experiences include a wide range of applications across various industries, domains, and multiple platforms from business ERPs such as insurance, banking, aviation, manufacturing, telecommunications, all the way to handheld, video and online games, and wireless devices.
The company invaded the game space in 2007 as it officially started game testing projects with a prominent Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) developer in Texas and another client from California, which develops a popular brand of handheld educational games.
We have test laboratories that can easily expand should new projects come in. We fully understand the confidentiality requirements of the games and software industry. Thus, our labs are designed to cater to the unique needs of our clients, specifically in terms of network, perimeter security and bandwidth. We are also flexible when it comes to clients’ hardware and software requirements.
We offer comprehensive solutions for software quality engineering and management, as well as end-to-end software testing services – OUTSOURCED TESTING, EXPERT SERVICES, and TRAINING. Our solutions are based on international software best practices and are designed to meet the requirements of both the Philippine and the international software industries.
We are in the business of quality and we practice what we preach. We believe in the value of quality as a vital engine towards continuous pursuit of excellence and success.
