QA & Software Testing

Usually both. Manual testing finds problems in new features and in how the product feels, while automated tests keep checking what already works. We propose the balance after seeing how often you release and what breaks.

Yes. The tester needs access to the product, any documentation and a person on your side to answer questions.

Both. A one-off check before a launch or a major release suits a site that changes rarely. A product with regular releases needs a tester in the team, part time or full time.

For automation, Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium and similar, chosen for your stack. For bug reports, the tracker you already use.

Yes, on real iPhone and Android devices, and in device clouds when more models are needed. The devices follow your audience and analytics.

Our specialists are in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. That gives 3 to 5 hours of overlap with Western Europe and 2 to 4 hours with the US East Coast. Testing also works well async: bugs found during our day wait in your tracker the next morning.

QA and software testing costs from $30 an hour for manual testing; automation engineers, senior QA and niche skills such as load testing or mobile automation cost more. You pay by the hour, invoiced monthly, or a fixed monthly amount for a full-time tester, by bank transfer under the agreement. Not included: a one-off pre-launch check, which is estimated and agreed before it starts; paid tools such as device clouds or load testing services, billed separately or bought on your account; and fixing the bugs found, which is development work.

The checks that repeat before every release on flows that have stopped changing: sign-up and sign-in, checkout or payment and the permissions of each role, the API contracts a mobile app or an integration depends on, the regression set someone now runs by hand, and a short smoke check after every deployment. New features, the feel of the product and layouts on real devices stay with manual testers.

Yes, and such code needs more attention to what a demo does not show: whether the server, not just the interface, enforces who can see and change which data, whether keys or payment credentials sit in code that runs in the browser, edge cases the prompt never mentioned, and the critical flows after every regeneration. If the product is about to take payments or personal data and nobody has reviewed its code, start with an MVP review, from $3,000, and test the parts that stay.

No. Fixing the bugs found is development work, done by your developers or ours, and it is not part of the QA rate. The tester reports each bug in your tracker with the steps, the expected and the actual result, screenshots or a video and a priority, then checks the fix and adds the case to the regression set so the bug does not come back.

Yes. A more senior engineer writes k6, JMeter or Gatling scripts that model the traffic you expect, and you get the limits found and what causes them: the database, a queue or an external API. Load testing services, if needed, are billed separately or bought on your account. Changing the servers or the cloud setup after the test is DevOps work, at $50 to $70 an hour.

We check the basics against WCAG 2.2: keyboard navigation, visible focus, text alternatives for images, labels and error messages in forms, and colour contrast. These fixes also help AI assistants and shopping agents that read your pages. When a product needs a full accessibility audit, we say so.
