Quality Assurance services
Find it before your customers do.
QA is not a phase at the end, it is the thing that decides whether a release is safe to make. We test the flows that carry your money and your reputation, automate what is worth repeating, and run it on every change.
Overview
Quality Assurance, the way we do it
A test suite can be green while checkout is broken on Safari, because somebody wrote the tests that were easy to write. Coverage as a percentage is one of the least informative numbers in software: what matters is whether the paths that would actually hurt you are covered, and those are usually the awkward ones.
We start from consequence. What must not break, the order, the payment, the login, the report the business runs on, gets tested properly, on real devices and browsers, with load put through it before launch. Then it runs on every change, so a regression is found the same day rather than in a support ticket.
What's included
What you actually get
- The flows that would hurt if they failed, tested first
- Automated checks on every change, so a break is caught the same day
- Real devices and browsers, including the older ones your customers use
- Load tested before launch rather than discovered on the first busy day
- Findings a developer can act on: what broke, where, and how to reproduce it
How we work
Five steps, no surprises
- 01
We talk
A call or a WhatsApp thread. You tell us what is not working; we tell you honestly whether we are the right people.
- 02
We scope it
A written plan with what you get, what it costs and how long it takes. Fixed, so there are no surprises later.
- 03
We build it
You see it as it goes, not at the end. Changes are cheap while it is still being built.
- 04
We put it live
On infrastructure we set up and secure, tested before the launch date.
- 05
We keep it running
Updates, monitoring and someone who answers. Most clients stay on a monthly agreement.
Questions
About quality assurance
Should we automate everything?
No. Automation pays for the checks that run every release; a person is better at noticing something technically working but obviously wrong. Teams that try to automate everything spend a lot and still ship bugs.
Can you test a system you did not build?
Yes, and that is often where we find the most. We read it first and tell you where the risk actually sits, which is rarely where the team expects it to be.
Has BitBee delivered QA as its own engagement?
Not as a named project on this site. Testing is part of everything we build, but no case study here is a standalone QA engagement.
