Process

A structured
QA system.

Six operational steps. One delivery rhythm. Adjusted to your sprint cadence, never improvised.

Engagement Steps

How a project moves through QA.

The same operational backbone across every engagement, calibrated to your sprint cadence.

01
Days 1–3
Understand product

Walkthrough of the product, codebase, and release rhythm. Stakeholder interviews to map business-critical flows. Risk areas identified before any test writing begins.

02
Days 4–7
Build QA scope

Risk-mapped coverage plan written and reviewed. Framework selection documented. Test environment design agreed. Engagement brief signed before technical work begins.

03
Sprint-aligned
Start test cycles

Manual, automated, and exploratory cycles run against sprint deliverables. Test cases written in your test management tool. Defects logged in your issue tracker from day one.

04
Daily cadence
Track and report issues

Defects logged, severity-triaged, and shared on a daily execution note. Blocked tests flagged immediately. Weekly regression summaries delivered every Friday.

05
Pre-release
Validate fixes

Every defect fix retested and confirmed closed. Regression suite run before each release. No release proceeds without a completed regression pass.

06
Per release
Final release review

Release readiness brief produced. Risk profile updated. Post-deployment smoke check run. Release decision documented with sign-off from QA lead.

Getting Started

How an engagement begins.

Four steps from first contact to technical kickoff. Each step is documented before moving to the next.

NDA Signed

Mutual NDA signed before any technical detail is exchanged. Code custody remains with the client throughout.

Scope Alignment

30-minute working session covering release cadence, existing coverage, and risk profile. Written output within three business days.

Engagement Brief

Written document covering scope, timeline, pricing, deliverables, and reporting cadence. Signed before technical work begins.

Kickoff

Technical kickoff with access provisioning, environment setup, and first sprint assignment. QA work begins within 48 hours.

Engagement Models

Three engagement models.

Each model is fixed in scope, defined in cost, and aligned to a documented outcome.

Fixed Scope
Testing Audit

Use when risk and coverage gaps are unclear. Produces a written risk map and 90-day QA plan.

Fixed 2-week duration
Fixed price — no surprises
Risk map, gap report, coverage plan
No ongoing commitment required
Delivered in writing within 3 business days

Most Popular
Managed QA

Use when ongoing release reliability is the goal. QA lead embedded in your team and sprint cadence.

90-day renewable cycles
Monthly retainer — predictable cost
Owns regression, triage, and release sign-off
Daily + weekly + per-release reporting
No auto-rollover on renewal
Review Managed QA
Project Engagement
Specialized Engagement

Use when a specific testing problem needs solving — automation buildout, performance baseline, compliance preparation.

4–12 week defined duration
Fixed scope and price
Framework, audit, or technical report as output
Clear handover at engagement close
Extendable by mutual agreement only

Reporting

Reporting on a defined rhythm.

Three reporting tiers. Each one serves a different decision-making need.

Daily

Defect triage update, execution status. Delivered every working day.

Weekly

Regression run summary, coverage snapshot.

Per release

One-page release readiness brief, risk update.

Integrations

Built on the tools your
engineering team already uses.

Test management, automation frameworks, CI systems, and defect tracking integrated into your existing delivery pipeline.

Test management
TestRail Zephyr qTest Xray
Automation
Selenium Cypress Playwright Appium RestAssured pytest
CI / Delivery
Jenkins GitHub Actions GitLab CI CircleCI Azure DevOps
Defect tracking

Measured Outcomes

The signals that matter.

Three metrics tracked across every engagement.

Escaped Defect Rate

Defects reaching production per release cycle. Tracked from engagement start. Target: zero P0 escapes.

Regression Cycle Time

Time to complete a full regression run. Measured in hours, not days. Automation reduces this progressively.

Release Confidence

Qualitative score on release readiness brief. Based on coverage breadth, defect severity, and outstanding risk items.
