Software Testing & QA

Q: What types of testing do you provide?

Functional testing (manual and automated), test automation across unit, integration, API and end-to-end layers, performance and load testing, security testing and vulnerability scanning, accessibility compliance testing (WCAG), cross-browser and device testing, mobile app testing on iOS and Android, regression automation, exploratory testing, and compliance testing for regulated industries (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR). All testing types report through SEOP for unified visibility.

Q: How quickly can you set up test automation?

Basic test automation frameworks deploy within 2 to 4 weeks, covering critical user paths and high-priority scenarios. Comprehensive automation at 80%+ coverage across unit, integration, API and E2E tests typically takes 2 to 3 months depending on application complexity and existing test infrastructure. Automation is prioritised by risk and ROI while manual testing gives immediate coverage.

Q: Can you integrate testing into our existing CI/CD pipelines?

Yes. Automated testing integrates into Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, CircleCI, Bitbucket Pipelines, AWS CodePipeline and custom deployment systems, with quality gates, execution triggers, parallel runs and automated reporting so tests run on every code change with fast feedback for developers.

Q: Do we need to provide test environments and data?

Existing environments work; new environments can be established with proper isolation, data management and deployment automation. Test data strategies include synthetic data generation, masking of production data, test data factories and containerised environments with pre-seeded data, mirroring production while protecting privacy.

Q: What is the difference between QA services and the Managed QA scope?

Software Testing & QA delivers scoped QA workstreams with a testing strategy and custom automation frameworks tailored to your applications, best when building QA capability or needing hands-on QA engineering. Managed QA is the platform-driven QA-as-a-Service scope with pre-configured automation, AI-powered testing and subscription pricing, best for organisations wanting turnkey QA automation. Both report through SEOP.

Q: How do you measure QA effectiveness and ROI?

Quality metrics tracked through SEOP dashboards: test coverage across unit, integration and E2E, defect detection and escape rates, execution time and frequency, release cycle acceleration, production incident reduction, mean time to detect and resolve defects, and automation ROI. Quarterly reviews assess maturity and identify optimisation opportunities.

Q: Can you test applications we did not build?

Yes. Most QA clients have applications built by other teams, vendors or acquired through M&A. The application is assessed, the architecture and existing coverage reviewed, and a QA strategy designed for it regardless of who built it. Comprehensive coverage for inherited applications with limited documentation typically lands within 8 to 12 weeks.

Q: Do you provide QA for mobile applications?

Yes. Native iOS and Android testing with Appium, XCUITest and Espresso, cross-platform framework testing for React Native and Flutter, device compatibility across real devices and emulators, performance testing under varied network conditions, accessibility testing, app store compliance validation and continuous mobile CI/CD integration.

AI-native software testing and QA on the Scrums.com platform

Software testing and QA on Scrums.com is delivered as scoped workstreams: a test strategy, the automation frameworks, AI-generated regression suites and the CI/CD quality gates, run to milestones on the SEOP platform with Scrums.com accountable for the outcome. AI agents generate test cases, execute regression suites and analyse results; QA engineers keep the work that needs judgment: exploratory testing, UX validation and test strategy.

/01

Shift-left quality engineering

QA starts at sprint planning, not after features are done. Tests are written alongside the code and defects are caught before they compound: 70% less rework.

/02

Platform-enabled test management

Test execution, coverage metrics, defect trends and quality KPIs in one SEOP view, with Jira, TestRail, Jenkins and Sauce Labs connected.

When software testing and QA workstreams make sense

It makes sense when

Manual testing bottlenecks slow your releases

Comprehensive test automation cuts testing time by 60% and puts regression on every build.

Production bugs reach customers and revenue

Insufficient coverage or reactive QA lets defects escape. Structured QA reduces production defects by 70%.

You need specialised testing

Performance validation, security testing or accessibility compliance that needs expert QA knowledge and dedicated tooling.

Regulatory compliance demands rigour

FinTech, Healthcare and Banking applications need testing documentation, audit trails and evidence for certification.
