Introduction
TAB's purpose is simple - create mobile experiences that make the world work better for billions of people. It’s a lofty one, but when we inject our mobile specialism into some of the biggest companies in the world, we can create game changing products.
Whether its reimagining essential weather services with the Met Office, Transforming journey planning with Go-Ahead Group or evolving how TfL test brakes on the tube, our team of cross-functional engineers, designers, strategists, product owners and Agile specialists are ready to take on the challenge.
As the biggest team of mobile specialists in the world (over 500 people globally), we believe that the opportunity for our team is incredibly exciting, as we see user experiences unbundle from smartphones into a multitude of emerging platforms and touchpoints such as cars, speakers and wearables.
Our ambition is to create a nurturing environment that allows every member of our team to help their teammates become the best version of themselves through excellent servant leadership.
The Testing Team
Our Testing team begins their work and embeds themselves at the outset of each product. We communicate and collaborate with Engineers, Designers, Product Owners and the client to ensure every product we deliver to the customers are bug-free and at the best quality possible. Ultimately, we contribute to the quality, robustness, and reliability of the products we build, and will have the confidence to say “we can’t ship that” if these things are compromised.
