why QA KARMA - tEST SMARTER, NOT HARDER!
We'll be your business partner, caring about your product as much as you do!
Since 2014, we've been honored to support seed/early-stage/growth/scale tech startups around the globe, helping them build and refine their test strategies, optimize their test automation approach, and offer efficient on-demand testing, for them to achieve and maintain high product quality without overhiring.
For most clients, we've been their first QA resource, responsible for crafting their test strategy and executing the strategy through: metrics, hands-on manual and automated testing, integrating testing in their CI/CD-based development processes, guiding their teams to deliver high-quality products at speed, and hiring(if really really needed).
We strongly believe that quality is everyone's responsibility and software engineers can(and should) be heavily involved in testing along side Product, Design and QA. We bring a unique combination of lean business-focused test strategy, automated testing, manual testing and cross-departments quality culture so you won't need a bunch of QAs running around your developers hunting for bugs and reacting to bad stuff. We act as a business partner rather than an employee or outsourced contractor because we only work with startups we care about!
We deeply understand the unique challenges and pains at each startup stage and we have the vision and experience to foresee what the next stage will bring and be proactive regarding the testing approaches.
With every engagement, we've learned, evolved, and perfected our approach, and we're excited to bring this expertise to your startup, ensuring quality and efficiency at every turn.
