Automated test suites, quality gates that stop bad releases reaching production, and performance testing before launch. We also run quality assurance as an ongoing service, testing every release as an independent party.
A defect costs minutes in review, hours in staging, and customer trust in production. Testing is how you pay the cheaper price.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The cost of a defect compounds with distance from where it was introduced. Caught in review it costs minutes. Caught by a customer it costs the relationship, and you find out about it publicly.
We write tests that catch real regressions rather than tests that exist to raise a coverage number. Quality gates mean a failing release physically cannot reach production. On retainer we test every release as an independent party, so nobody is marking their own work.
Worth knowing
Manual testing does not scale to weekly releases.
High coverage does not mean the right things are being tested.
The releases that break things are almost always the ones described as small.
How it is engaged
Scope, model, and ownership are agreed in writing before work begins. Pricing is discussed directly, once we know what is involved.
Everything below is yours at the end of the engagement, in your name, whether or not you keep working with us.
