QA and software testing
What we can build for you
Manual testing
Real people go through your app the way your users do and find what breaks.
Automated tests
Tests that run on their own with every change, so old bugs don't come back.
Regression before release
We check that what worked before still works, before each new version goes live.
Mobile device testing
Your app tested on iOS and Android phones and tablets of different sizes.
Clear bug reports
Each issue with steps, screenshots and priority, so your developers can fix it fast.
Performance checks
Find slow screens and pages, and see how your app behaves under heavy use.

Frequently asked questions
Can you test software another team built?
Yes. We work with your developers or vendor, test in your environment and report issues where they already track their work.
Manual or automated testing: which do we need?
Usually both. Manual tests find usability issues and new bugs; automated tests keep checking the basics on every release.
