One QA partner instead of five different specialist contracts
We cover manual, automation, functional, regression, performance, security, API, mobile, and accessibility testing from a single team with one point of contact — so you stop coordinating separate freelancers for each discipline.
- US, Canada & UK overlapWorking hours planned around your team, not just ours.
- One point of contactA named lead owns the engagement end to end — no ticket queue.
- NDA on every engagementSigned before we see a single ticket or line of test data.
- Scale up or down monthlyNo multi-year lock-in — resize the team as the release calendar changes.
Who this is for
What you get
- An initial QA audit of your current test coverage, environments, and release process (1–2 weeks)
- A dedicated QA lead as your single point of contact, coordinating specialists across disciplines instead of you managing each one
- Coverage across the disciplines relevant to your stack: manual/exploratory testing, test automation (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium), functional and regression testing, API testing (Postman, JMeter, Katalon Studio), mobile testing, and accessibility testing
- CI/CD integration for automated suites into Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps
- Weekly written reporting with defect status, coverage metrics, and a plain-language summary for non-technical stakeholders
- A defect lifecycle process where every bug is retested independently before being marked closed, not closed on a developer’s word
- A recommended engagement model — dedicated team, staff augmentation, or project-based — once the audit defines the right shape and size
Timeline & process
Audit & discovery
Review current test coverage, environments, release process, and stakeholder priorities.
QA lead assignment & team composition
Match specialists to your stack and agree on the engagement model going forward.
Ramp-up
Environment access is set up, and the first automated suites and manual test passes start running.
First full reporting cycle
Weekly reporting cadence and the defect lifecycle process go live, and we agree on ongoing scope.
What we need from you
- Access to a staging environment, plus TestFlight or Play Store internal-track access if mobile is in scope
- A rundown of your current release process and any existing test assets we might inherit
- Test credentials for the systems in scope
- A stakeholder call to confirm priorities and success metrics before the audit starts
Proof, not promises
Not in scope, so there are no surprises
- Formal security penetration testing or compliance certification — see our dedicated Security Testing engagement for that
- Deep performance and load engineering at scale — covered under our dedicated Performance Testing engagement
- Hardware-in-the-loop or embedded/IoT device testing — this needs a specialized scope beyond a general QA overview engagement
- Platform-specific testing for CCM, ERP, or trading systems (Thunderhead, SAP, Murex, and similar) — these run as their own dedicated engagements
- Building or owning your CI/CD pipeline itself — we wire tests into the pipeline you already run
Questions we get asked
Do you actually work in our time zone, or is this an async, overnight handoff?
Neither, fully. The QA lead assigned to your account shifts their core hours to overlap with US Eastern and Pacific time, which covers most Canadian time zones too. Stand-ups, defect triage, and release sign-off happen on a live call, not through an overnight ticket queue.
Where is the team based, and who do we actually talk to?
The team is based in Bengaluru, India — we're not going to pretend otherwise. What you get is one named QA lead as your point of contact for the length of the engagement, not a rotating cast of testers or an account manager sitting between you and the work.
How is this different from just hiring one or two freelance testers?
A freelancer covers one discipline and disappears when the contract ends. We hold the QA lead accountable for coverage across manual, automation, API, and regression testing under one weekly report, and every defect is retested independently before it's marked closed — not closed on a developer's say-so.
How is pricing structured?
It follows whichever engagement model fits your release cadence — dedicated team, staff augmentation, or project-based — and we only recommend one after the initial audit tells us the real shape of the work, not before it.
What happens to our test data and credentials?
An NDA is signed before we get access to a single ticket, credential, or dataset. Where production-like data is needed for testing, we work from masked or synthetic data wherever the environment allows it.
