How many testers do we need per developer?

There is no fixed ratio. It depends on automation maturity, domain complexity and risk. Teams with strong automation and developer testing need fewer dedicated testers.

Can your QA team work in our time zone?

Yes. Working hours are aligned to overlap with your team, and many clients benefit from overnight test execution between their working days.

How is quality assurance priced?

Usually by dedicated QA engineers billed monthly. Project-based testing with defined scope can be quoted as a fixed price.

Quality Engineering & Testing Service capability

Capability overview

What quality assurance involves

Quality assurance is the day-to-day discipline of checking that software does what the business needs before customers rely on it. For many organisations the practical question is capacity: developers are testing their own work, releases wait for someone to check them, and defects are tracked in chat messages rather than a proper workflow.

We provide QA engineers who join your sprints or operate as an independent test team, working in your tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, TestRail or Zephyr. They plan testing around business risk, design test cases from acceptance criteria, report defects with clear reproduction steps and give release recommendations based on evidence.

What is included

QA services

Test planning

Scope, approach, environments, data, entry and exit criteria defined for each release or project phase.

Test design

Test cases written using techniques such as boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning and decision tables.

Test execution

Planned and exploratory testing across functional flows, roles and data variations, with results recorded.

Defect management

Defects logged with severity, priority, evidence and steps, then retested and tracked to closure.

Release readiness reporting

Clear summaries of test coverage, open risks and outstanding defects to support go or no-go decisions.

How we work

How we deliver quality assurance

Domain onboarding

Testers learn the product, users, business rules and existing documentation before testing begins.

Sprint participation

QA joins refinement to clarify acceptance criteria before development starts.

In-sprint testing

Stories tested as they are completed rather than accumulating for a separate test phase.

Regression and release checks

Critical paths retested before release with the scope adjusted to the changes made.

Retrospective improvement

Escaped defects analysed to improve test design and development practices.

Related capabilities

Related capabilities in Quality Engineering & Testing

Manual Testing

Skilled human testing where automation is impractical or insufficient, including exploratory testing, new feature validation, usability observations, complex business scenarios and user acceptance support.

Automated Testing

Automating the checks that must run repeatedly, such as regression suites, smoke tests, API tests and data validations, so releases are verified in hours instead of days and testers focus on higher-value work.

Functional Testing

Verification that each feature behaves according to requirements and business rules, across user roles, data conditions, validations, calculations and workflows, before it reaches users.

Regression Testing

Protecting existing functionality every time software changes, through risk-based regression suites, impact analysis, automation of stable checks and suite maintenance that keeps regression cycles short.

Embedded testers catch problems earlier and collaborate better. Independent testing adds objectivity for regulated systems, vendor acceptance or high-risk releases. Many organisations combine both.
