Genystory | Vladislav Iliushin (Avast)

Avast Software is a security provider that protects 230 million users, devices, and businesses in 186 countries, with their software and mobile solutions.

> "Genymotion is the best emulator I’ve tried" Vladislav Iliushin is a QA engineer at Avast, and he can tell you – with operations at such a large scale, Avast’s QA department really needs to be on the ball. That’s the reason Vladislav created a QA infrastructure incorporating Genymotion.

> "It’s fast, flexible, and comes with a great API. They also have the best support service we’ve experienced. Their response time was quick, they resolved our issues, and the interaction felt personal."

> "From the very beginning Genymotion really simplified our work" Avast Software cares about their users, and it shows. With more than 100M installs all their apps boast at least 4 star ratings in the Play Store. Not an easy feat, but it’s made a lot easier thanks to automatic integration.

> "We run many tests for our different products every hour. Every automated test we run is one less thing that someone needs to check on manually – that translates to a significant amount of time per QA engineer."

> "Everything is in one place" The key to Avast Software’s success comes out of providing its users with optimal user experiences. That can only be done with a whole lot of testing. Fortunately, QA Engineers at Avast Software have the right tools at their fingertips. Indeed, instead of working with real devices and a plethora of different parameter combinations, they just have to change virtual device configurations.

> "It’s great not having to “switch” between a PC and several phones, but to have everything in one place."
