MANUAL SOFTWARE TESTING SERVICES

No matter what you're building, we can help.

Our testers have validated Android TV for Google, e-commerce platforms for Groupon, and hundreds of complex software solutions for leading global brands. Bring in our experts to identify critical defects and edge cases before they reach production, protecting revenue and user trust.

  • Google Cloud Platform Partner
  • AWS Partner
  • ISO 27001 certified - Information Security Management System
  • Functional Testing

    Automated tests miss edge cases, user workflows, and logic errors that only human testers catch. We validate that each feature behaves according to specifications through systematic test case execution covering normal operations and error handling.

    Our testers break down specifications into executable scenarios, then validate input/output behavior manually to catch issues automation overlooks. Each defect is documented with reproduction steps and environment details. We validate system interactions and business logic across all critical paths. You get thorough functional coverage that catches the issues automated tests miss.

  • Exploratory Testing

    Scripted test cases follow predictable paths that miss unexpected defects and usability problems. We explore applications without predetermined scripts, using domain expertise and intuition to uncover issues in real-world usage scenarios.

    Our testers navigate applications freely, test feature combinations, probe edge cases, and document findings in real time. We identify usability issues, unclear error messages, and workflow problems that impact user experience. You get insights into how actual users might break or misuse your application.

  • Usability Testing

    Applications with poor usability frustrate users and reduce adoption regardless of functionality. We evaluate user interfaces, navigation patterns, and interaction design to identify friction points that impact user satisfaction.

    Our testers conduct task-based testing with representative users, perform heuristic evaluations against usability principles, and analyze user feedback. We identify confusing workflows, unclear labeling, and accessibility barriers. You get actionable recommendations that improve user experience and reduce support burden.

  • User Acceptance Testing

    Software that passes technical testing can still fail to meet business requirements or user expectations. We validate that applications satisfy stakeholder needs through systematic UAT with end users before production deployment.

    Our testers collaborate with stakeholders to define acceptance criteria, create realistic test scenarios, facilitate testing sessions with business users, and document feedback. We verify functionality, usability, and performance meet expectations. So you get validation that software delivers business value before go-live.

  • Compatibility Testing

    Applications must work consistently across various browsers and operating systems. We test on real devices and different hardware platforms to identify issues specific to different environments.

    Our testers validate core functionality across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop platforms. Mobile testing covers iOS and Android devices with varying screen sizes and OS versions. We also use BrowserStack for cloud-based testing. You get confidence that users will have consistent experiences regardless of how they access your application.

  • Localization Testing

    Global applications require linguistic accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and proper formatting for different locales. We validate translations and cultural elements to ensure seamless experiences across markets.

    Testing covers both linguistic accuracy and technical formatting. Our testers verify translations in context, catching awkward phrasing that literal translation misses. Cultural appropriateness of imagery and messaging is assessed for target markets. We use tools like Passolo and Crowdin for workflow integration. You get applications that resonate with users in target markets without embarrassing errors.

  • Mobile Application Testing

    Mobile apps face unique challenges with device fragmentation and platform-specific behaviors. We test on real devices across iOS and Android to validate functionality and performance. We select a range of devices representing your actual user base, not just flagship models.

    Our testers validate behavior under degraded network conditions and offline modes. Battery consumption is monitored during extended sessions. You get mobile applications that work reliably across the device ecosystem your users actually own.

  • Regression Testing

    New features and bug fixes can break existing functionality. We execute comprehensive regression test suites after each release to verify that changes haven't introduced unintended side effects or broken previously working features.

    Our testers maintain regression test suites covering critical user paths, execute tests after code changes, prioritize testing based on risk and impact, and track defects introduced by changes. We validate that core functionality remains stable. So you get the confidence that updates improve software without breaking what already works.

    We’re easy to onboard because we work the way your legal team expects us to.
    Because we’re based in the US, we follow the same legal standards your team already trusts—using MSAs, SOWs, and documentation that fit your procurement process.
  • NDAs & IP Protection
    We take data and IP seriously, with full protection baked into every engagement. 
    Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA and clear IP ownership terms. Our secure workflows and confidentiality protocols also protect existing codebases and proprietary data.
  • Enterprise-grade Security
    Our devs follow security protocols that meet even the strictest enterprise standards.
    Our engineers work only within the systems they need, using strict access control, audit-friendly workflows, secure repository storage, and more—bringing enterprise-grade protection to every engagement.

What tech leaders ask about our manual testing services:

  • How quickly can you staff a manual testing team?

    We typically onboard manual testing teams within 2–4 weeks. Our 4,000+ engineer bench includes manual testers with functional testing, exploratory testing, usability validation, and mobile testing experience, allowing us to assemble the right team quickly based on your specific needs.

  • What level of experience do your testers bring?

    We screen over 2 million applicants annually and hire less than 1%. We only select experienced testers with 8–10+ years of relevant experience. Our manual testers have validated software for companies like Google, identified critical defects in production systems, and executed comprehensive test suites across web, mobile, and enterprise applications. They understand test case design, defect analysis, exploratory testing techniques, and how to balance test coverage with project timelines.

  • Will your team work in our time zone and integrate with our processes?

    Yes. Our nearshore manual testing teams work US business hours, communicate in English, and participate fully in your standups, sprint planning, and reviews. We adopt your tools (Jira, TestRail, Slack, GitHub), follow your defect reporting standards and severity classifications, and operate as an extension of your team from day one.

  • Can you work with our existing test cases and quality processes?

    Absolutely. Our testers have worked with mature QA organizations, startups building quality processes from scratch, and everything in between. We audit existing test documentation, identify coverage gaps, and enhance test suites while maintaining your established standards. Whether you need test execution support, test case creation, or process improvement, we adapt to your current state.

  • Do you have experience testing in regulated industries?

    Yes. We're ISO 27001 certified and have delivered manual testing services for healthcare, finance, government, and other regulated industries. Our testing approaches support HIPAA compliance validation, SOX-compliant financial application testing, accessibility compliance, and security validation. We've delivered projects meeting strict regulatory requirements without compromising testing thoroughness.

  • How do you balance manual testing with test automation?

    We take a pragmatic approach: automate what's repetitive and stable, test manually where human judgment adds value. Our testers identify automation opportunities during manual execution, focusing automation on regression suites while reserving manual testing for exploratory testing, usability validation, and new feature verification. We work with your automation engineers to convert stable manual tests into automated scripts.

  • Can you test across multiple devices, browsers, and operating systems?

    Yes. We maintain physical device labs and use cloud testing platforms like BrowserStack to validate functionality across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Our testing covers different browser versions, device models, screen sizes, and operating system versions to ensure consistent user experiences across your target platforms.

  • How do you maintain team stability over long engagements?

    We're structured for long-term partnerships. Most testers stay on manual testing projects for 2+ years, and our 96% client retention rate shows organizations continue working with us year after year. When team adjustments are needed, our bench depth allows us to add specialists or backfill roles quickly while maintaining project momentum through documentation and structured handoffs.

  • What's your approach to exploratory testing versus scripted testing?

    We use both strategically. Scripted testing provides repeatable validation of known requirements and regression coverage. Exploratory testing uncovers unexpected issues, usability problems, and edge cases that scripted tests miss. We typically allocate 60-70% of effort to scripted testing for core functionality and 30-40% to exploratory sessions focused on high-risk areas, new features, and integration points.

  • Are contracts and billing handled in the US?

    Yes. We operate from US headquarters under US law and jurisdiction. All contracts, billing, and procurement flow through domestic channels, eliminating international complications. We also provide the necessary hardware for our specialists, simplifying vendor management for your team.
