QA and Software Testing Services We Provide
Manual Testing
Manual testing is a hands-on approach that captures nuances automation tools might miss. By leveraging both exploratory testing and acceptance testing, we identify bugs. We also simulate real-world user interactions so the final software meets user expectations.
This comprehensive service covers the most popular testing services, including security, exploratory, ad-hoc, usability, localization, installation, error handling, and compatibility testing.
Automation Testing
Set up a production line for quality checks with our automated testing services. Our automation engineers use tools like Selenium and Appium to systematically execute test cases, ensuring consistent and rapid feedback. Automating repetitive tasks reduces manual work, improves software reliability, and increases test coverage.
Regression Testing
Think of regression testing as a safety net. We use tools like Selenium and frameworks like TestNG to ensure your software’s main functionalities still work after software updates.
This iterative process involves running a set of pre-defined test cases. The result: fewer glitches, consistent software quality, and reliable performance of legacy features.
API Testing
Reliable APIs form the backbone of modern applications. Rigorous API testing confirms that your endpoints are not just functional but optimized, secure, and ready to handle real-world demands. We use tools like Postman or REST Assured to validate data flows, endpoint reliability, and performance under load. This leads to better software compatibility and fewer system weaknesses.
Web and Mobile QA
In a world where users might jump from a high-end desktop to a mid-range smartphone, your websites and apps should look great and perform well on all browsers and devices. Our web and mobile QA service focuses on responsive design and cross-platform compatibility for a seamless user experience. We also conduct accessibility testing to confirm your software is usable by people with disabilities.
Security Testing
Every day a new company falls victim to a data breach. Our security testing dives deep into your software's defenses, analyzing vulnerabilities from a hacker’s perspective.
Using top tools like OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite, we thoroughly check your application for vulnerabilities. We look for issues like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Our goal is to make sure your software remains resilient against current and emerging security threats.
Performance Testing
With our load and endurance tests, we simulate “rush hour” scenarios to identify performance bottlenecks. This means that when you get a traffic surge, your application remains swift and responsive. Stress testing pushes your software beyond its limits, revealing its breaking points.
Using popular tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner, and Gatling, we simulate thousands of concurrent users. We monitor response times, throughput rates, and system stability. Performance testing keeps your software responsive and resilient even during peak demand.

Key Facts about Outsourcing QA and Software Testing
Best Practices for Software QA Testing
Staying updated with the latest QA testing best practices is essential. Quality assurance processes are vital for successful software development. Here are the processes and best practices we follow for consistent client success.
Your tailored test strategy should be holistic, encompassing test approach, testing types, tools, and risk analysis. Here’s how we make that happen.
We employ strategies such as Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD). This means quality starts from the design phase, and testing remains at the core of development.
We test elements like performance, security, scalability, and availability. Collaborating with teams, outline Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and devise Service Level Indicators (SLIs).
Every client and engagement is unique. We handpick the tools best suited to your business, software, and team.
We target up to 80-90% code coverage, ensuring that most of your code undergoes unit testing by our developers.
While we suggest automating most test cases, we also understand the value of manual intervention for certain tests, especially for usability, negative testing, multiple scenarios, and exploratory testing.
Accessibility, security, and performance feedback are integral to our testing strategy, ensuring the end product is user-centric.
Clearly delineate the process—from test initiation and bug identification to the implementation of solutions.
We work with operations and development teams, ensuring our test environments echo the production settings.
Our Scrum Masters actively contribute to the Definition of Ready.
Before release, we check the application’s core functionalities so they work as expected.
We handle the intricacies of test management—from communications and risk assessment to issue mitigation.
We meticulously assess, reproduce, and prioritize issues. When they're related to a feature, we collaborate with the Product Owner to enhance user experience.
Clear metrics drive continuous improvement. By tracking test cases, bug distribution, and test effectiveness, we constantly refine our approach.
Before any deployment, we gauge the quality and potential risks of new software iterations.
Understanding the nuances of each engagement allows us to remain aligned with both business and technical goals.
We provide debugging insights and integrate testing earlier, ensuring everyone's on the same page.
For us, quality assurance isn’t just about testing. We embed ourselves throughout the product development lifecycle to keep your software secure and performant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are QA services? How do they differ from software testing?
QA services and software testing are closely related but differ in scope. Both activities are aimed at improving the software development process and minimizing defects. However, software testing exclusively involves testing, while QA services refer to a broader set of activities for improving software and reducing instances of bugs, such as risk management.
What is QA functional testing?
QA functional testing is a type of software testing that focuses on evaluating the functional aspects of software, ensuring that the software behaves as intended. Examples of functional testing include unit testing and integration testing. The other main type of QA testing is performance testing, which focuses on the performance of the software, including its responsiveness and stability. Other tests include: regression, sanity, smoke, user acceptance, boundary, and end-to-end testing.
What is a QA assessment?
A QA assessment thoroughly examines all the quality assurance procedures and practices used in an organization's software development and testing. Also known as a QA audit or QA review, the goal of the assessment is to evaluate the effectiveness, compliance, and performance of these practices and find any bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
What tools and frameworks do you use for QA and software testing?
There are many types of tools and frameworks for QA and software testing. Some of the more common ones that we use are:
- Selenium: a framework for automating web browser interactions and creating automated tests for web applications
- JUnit: a testing framework for Java applications that provides annotations and assertion methods for writing and executing unit tests
- Cucumber: a behavior-driven development (BDD) tool that allows you to create tests that are readable by humans
- LoadRunner: a performance testing tool that simulates different user loads to evaluate performance and scalability
How do you protect proprietary software during testing?
Ensuring the security of proprietary software during testing involves several steps, including performing testing in secure environments, limiting access to the software, encrypting and/or tokenizing data, and conducting vulnerability testing. Additionally, all of our QA engineers, testers, and developers use secure communication protocols and conduct regular compliance checks.
