Manual and exploratory testing
Smoke tests before release, regression checklists, exploratory sessions for risky changes and UAT support with the client team.
Automation covers 80% of cases, but the remaining 20% gets caught by an experienced tester using the product like a real user. Manual testing is not obsolete — it is where you catch UX friction, edge cases nobody imagined and bugs scripts cannot see. We build tests scoped to project risk and grow regression checklists as the product grows.
What we deliver
- Test plan and strategy aligned with project risk
- Regression checklists that grow with the product
- Exploratory sessions on risky changes with a session charter
- Bug reports with repro steps, screenshots, video and priority
- UAT support — we work with stakeholders during release acceptance
- Monthly QA report with metrics (bug count, hotspot areas)
When to call us
- Devs ship code, but there is no dedicated QA role
- Bugs that should have been caught end up in production
- You are preparing a major season (Black Friday, back-to-school) and want to be sure
- You need UAT support because the client requires a formal process
How we work
Discovery of risk and critical user journeys → initial checklists → iterative growth with every release → quarterly audit and pruning of stale checks.
