How to assess software quality of a SaaS Company?

by a searcher

2 years ago

Hi all,

We are close to signing an LOI with a SaaS company in Europe, and we would like to understand how other searchers have approached the problem on how to ensure the software quality of a SaaS company.

We are planning to do the following:
+ Technical DD: hiring a firm to perform a technical DD (scalability, technical debt,...) and interview the team
+ Interviews to experts from an expert network (e.g, GLG, AlphaSights) to understand how does this software compare vs. its competitors

Is there something extra that you have done? Any tips?

We use an outside firm that does a great job evaluating the tech and has a solid understanding of the market. IM if you are interested in their contact information - they are US based.
