QA & testing: catch the bug before production, not after
Automated, load, security and accessibility testing integrated into your CI/CD pipeline. Backed by ARIA, our internal quality and security platform (SAST and vulnerability scanning), under processes aligned to CMMI Level 2.
QA and testing is the discipline that validates your software does what it should, withstands real load, exposes no vulnerabilities and keeps working when you add new functionality.
We build automated suites that run on every commit inside your CI/CD pipeline, so each change is verified before merge — not in a single manual round at the end of the project. We do it for software we build ourselves and also as a quality audit over existing systems, regardless of the stack or who built them.

Progress every 2 weeks
Live functional demos each sprint. You see real progress, not a months-long black box.
Engineering with process
CMMI Level 2, 5.0★ on Clutch and 200+ projects. Nearshore team in Monterrey + Texas, in your time zone (CST).
When you need it
Types of testing we cover
Automated E2E testing
End-to-end suites with Playwright and Cypress that validate critical business flows in the browser, plus unit and integration tests with Jest.
Load & stress testing
Load testing with k6 to find the real concurrent-user limit, latency under pressure and breaking points before a high-traffic event.
Security testing (OWASP Top 10)
Static (SAST) and dynamic (DAST with OWASP ZAP) analysis against the OWASP Top 10, plus vulnerability scanning with the ARIA platform integrated into the pipeline.
Accessibility testing (WCAG 2.1/2.2)
Validation of WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 criteria (level AA), combining automated tooling with manual review using screen readers and keyboard navigation.
Regression testing
Automated regression suite that runs on every commit so existing functionality keeps working when you add new code.
API & contract testing
API validation with Postman and Newman, contract testing and verification of responses, status codes and error handling.
Exploratory testing & UAT
What automation doesn't catch: risk-guided exploratory testing and support for user acceptance testing (UAT) with documented test cases, to validate the software doesn't just "pass the tests" but solves the user's real problem.
Test data & environments
Definition of representative test data (anonymized when there is sensitive data) and the setup of isolated testing environments, so tests are reproducible and don't rely on "works on my machine".
How we work
Testing strategy
We define the test plan, tools, target coverage and acceptance criteria based on your critical flows and business risk. Deliverable: an agreed test plan and risk matrix.
Automation
We build the automated suite prioritizing the highest-impact flows: unit, integration, E2E, load, security and accessibility. Deliverable: a test suite versioned in your repository.
CI/CD integration
We connect the tests to your pipeline (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins) so each commit is automatically validated before merge. Deliverable: a pipeline with quality gates that block what doesn't pass.
Execution & findings
We run the test cycles (functional, load, security with OWASP ZAP and SAST, accessibility) and triage findings. Deliverable: documented, reproducible defects prioritized by impact.
Reporting & continuous improvement
Coverage reports, security findings and quality metrics per cycle. Deliverable: a quality dashboard, a prioritized defect backlog and a handover so your team maintains the suite.
Tech stack
The tools and platforms we build it with — chosen for your problem, not for hype.
Frequently asked questions
Can you QA a project you did not develop?
Yes. We perform quality audits and build test suites for existing systems, regardless of who developed them or their stack. We start by understanding the critical flows and risk, and prioritize coverage from there.
What test coverage do you recommend?
We do not chase a number for its own sake: we prioritize coverage over critical business flows, where a failure costs the most. For financial, healthcare or sensitive-data applications we add security and accessibility testing as part of the scope.
What is ARIA and what role does it play in testing?
ARIA is our internal quality and security platform. It supports the process with static code analysis (SAST) and vulnerability scanning integrated into the pipeline, under processes aligned to CMMI Level 2. It does not replace the QA engineer's judgment: it speeds it up and keeps traceability of every finding.
How do you cover security and accessibility?
For security we evaluate against the OWASP Top 10 with static (SAST) and dynamic (DAST with OWASP ZAP) analysis, plus ARIA vulnerability scanning. For accessibility we validate WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 criteria (level AA) combining automated tooling with manual keyboard and screen-reader review.
Is the test suite mine, and can my team maintain it?
Yes, 100%. The suite lives in your repository from the first commit, written with standard tools (Jest, Playwright, Cypress, k6) and documented so your team understands, runs and extends it. We include knowledge transfer. We don't leave you tied to us to run your own tests.
How much does implementing automated QA cost?
It is quoted based on scope: it depends on the number of flows to cover, the application complexity and the testing level required (functional, load, security, accessibility). We define it in an initial session along with the testing strategy, with a fixed budget and no hourly billing.
