Quality engineering

QA & Software Testing

Quality is not a phase at the end of the plan; it is a set of checks that run on every change. We build the automation, then apply the human testing that automation is genuinely bad at.

Teams under delivery pressure trim testing first, and the cost arrives later as production incidents, support load and a growing reluctance to touch parts of the codebase. The fix is not more manual regression cycles — it is automation covering the paths that matter, so people are free to test exploratively.

We provide QA as a standalone service for teams that have none, and as an embedded function within our own delivery work. Either way you get a written test strategy, real coverage numbers and defect metrics rather than a subjective sense of whether things are stable.

Capabilities

What QA & Software Testing covers

Find it before your customers do.

Test automation

Playwright, Cypress and Selenium suites for web, Appium and XCUITest for mobile, wired into CI so every pull request is checked.

Manual & exploratory testing

Structured exploratory sessions and scripted regression on the flows where subtle breakage costs the most.

Performance & load testing

k6 and JMeter scenarios modelled on realistic peak traffic, with bottlenecks identified down to the query or service.

Security testing

OWASP Top 10 assessment, authentication and authorisation testing, dependency scanning and a remediation-ranked report.

Mobile device testing

Real device coverage across OS versions and screen sizes, including low-end hardware and poor network conditions.

Accessibility testing

WCAG 2.2 AA audits combining automated tooling with keyboard and screen-reader testing by a person.

Why it works

What you get that you might not expect.

These are the commitments clients tell us mattered most once the project was underway.

Regressions caught in minutes

A suite running on every change turns a week-long regression cycle into feedback before the branch is merged.

Evidence, not opinion

Coverage figures, defect escape rate and mean time to detect, reported every sprint.

Release confidence

A defined release checklist and go/no-go criteria, so shipping is a decision rather than a gamble.

Suites your team can maintain

Readable page-object structures and stable selectors — automation that does not become a liability in six months.

How we deliver

Our qa & testing process

Every stage produces something you can look at, use or disagree with. Nothing is invisible until the end.

  1. 1

    Quality assessment

    Current process, existing coverage, defect history and where failures actually reach production.

  2. 2

    Test strategy

    The right balance of unit, integration, end-to-end and manual testing, with what will and will not be automated stated explicitly.

  3. 3

    Build the suites

    Automation for critical paths first, integrated into CI with clear failure reporting.

  4. 4

    Test cycles

    Sprint-aligned execution, triaged defect reports with reproduction steps, video and logs.

  5. 5

    Report & improve

    Quality metrics each sprint and continual extension of coverage into the areas defects keep coming from.

Technologies we use for this

Chosen per project rather than by house policy. We will explain the trade-off in plain terms before anything is decided.

Questions

QA & Software Testing — your questions

Not covered here?

Ask us directly

Yes, that is a large part of this service. We start with an assessment and a strategy, then build coverage from the highest-risk flows outward.

Coverage percentage is a poor target on its own. We aim for full automation of critical revenue and data-integrity paths, broad integration coverage, and unit tests around complex logic — then measure defect escape rate, which is the number that actually matters.

We perform application-level security testing against the OWASP Top 10 and authorisation logic. For formal, certified penetration tests required by compliance frameworks we coordinate with accredited partners.

Yes. A focused two-to-three week hardening engagement before a major launch is a common request, and delivers a prioritised defect list plus a go/no-go recommendation.
