ATLANTA, July 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QASymphony, the leading provider of agile testing solutions to the Global 2000, announces the appointment of Elise Carmichael to Vice President of Quality. In this role, Carmichael will help customers improve their QA process, expand test automation and maximize their investments in QASymphony solutions. Prior to joining QASymphony, Carmichael was the Director of Software Engineering at Mobiquity where she was an active QASymphony customer.

This hire comes after an outstanding Q2 for QASymphony that saw the company achieve significant revenue growth and close a $40 million Series C investment led by New York-based Insight Venture Partners. Below are highlights from the quarter:

• 119% year-over-year revenue growth

• Added 54 new customers including Johnson Controls, BHP Billiton and several other prominent Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises

"We are thrilled to welcome Elise to our growing team," said Dave Keil, CEO of QASymphony.

Our results from Q2 demonstrate that we are continuing to move large enterprises away from legacy solutions. Having an experienced QA leader like Elise join our team will accelerate our success."

"I am extremely excited to join the QASymphony team," said Carmichael. "As a former customer, I know first-hand the impact QASymphony solutions can have on an organization when it comes to improved quality and efficiency. This company has experienced a lot of recent success, but I am convinced that we are just getting started."
