Can you test software built by another vendor?

Yes, and many US clients hire us exactly for that. An independent tester has no reason to downplay problems in code they did not write, so you get an objective view of quality before you accept a milestone or pay an invoice.

How do you price QA outsourcing?

Ongoing QA is billed monthly per tester at a fixed USD rate. One-off work, such as a pre-launch test cycle or a load test, is quoted as a fixed price after we review the application and agree the scope and exit criteria in writing.

What do we need to give your testers?

Access to a staging or QA environment, test accounts for each user role, your ticket system and whatever requirements exist, even if they are only user stories or a recorded demo. Where there are no written requirements, we document expected behavior as we test and confirm it with you.

Do you test healthcare or financial software?

Yes. For regulated software we work inside your HIPAA, SOC 2 or PCI program, sign the agreements it requires, and test with synthetic or masked data instead of real patient or card records. Access is limited to named testers and removed when the engagement ends.

Independent QA for US teams

Software QA and testing services for US businesses

An independent QA team for US companies that have developers but no dedicated testers. We test what your team or another vendor builds, report defects with clear steps to reproduce, and tell you honestly whether a release is ready.

About quality assurance

Testing that runs while your developers sleep

The time difference works in your favor for QA. Your developers merge in the afternoon, our testers run regression and exploratory passes overnight, and your team starts the morning with a list of defects, screenshots and screen recordings instead of waiting a day for feedback. The overlap window is used for triage, not status meetings.

Defects go straight into your Jira, Linear or Azure DevOps with severity, environment, build number and exact reproduction steps. Our testers retest fixes, close tickets and keep a release sign-off checklist so everyone knows what was tested and what was not. Product managers get a short weekly summary of open defects by severity and area, which makes release decisions a quick conversation.

What we test and how

Coverage is planned against risk, not just screens. We write test cases from your user stories, run exploratory sessions on new features, and build automated regression in Playwright, Cypress or Selenium for the flows that must never break. APIs are tested with Postman and REST Assured, and mobile apps on real devices and BrowserStack with Appium for automation.

Before busy periods or large launches we run load tests in k6 or JMeter against agreed targets, such as response time at a given number of concurrent users, and report where the system slows down first so your team knows what to fix. Tests are repeated after the fixes, so you can see whether each change actually moved the numbers before real customers arrive.

Choosing between manual and automated testing

Early products change too fast for large automated suites to pay off, so we start with structured manual and exploratory testing and automate the stable, high-value flows like signup, checkout and billing. As the product settles, automation takes over regression and manual testers focus on new features, usability and edge cases scripts cannot anticipate.

Questions

QA & software testing: common questions

Usually within one to two weeks. The first week is spent reading your requirements, getting access to test environments and writing an initial test plan. Most teams see their first defect reports in that first week, and a full regression suite within the first month.
