Hire QA Engineers

A QA engineer is responsible for ensuring that software applications meet the required quality and performance standards. This includes developing and implementing testing strategies, identifying and reporting bugs, and working closely with development teams to resolve issues and improve product quality.

Manual QA involves human testers executing test cases and scenarios to check if the software meets specified requirements. It relies on testers' knowledge, experience, and judgment to identify defects and issues.
Automated QA, on the other hand, involves using tools and scripts to perform tests automatically. It's more efficient and reliable for repetitive and complex tests but requires initial effort to create and maintain the scripts.

It's recommended to involve QA (Quality Assurance) in the software development process as early as possible, ideally from the planning phase. This ensures that quality is built into the product from the start and reduces the likelihood of issues arising later. QA can provide valuable feedback on requirements, design, and implementation and help catch defects early.

QA (Quality Assurance) ensures the quality of a product by implementing a series of systematic and structured processes throughout the software development lifecycle. Some of the key activities and responsibilities of QA include:

1. Reviewing and validating requirements to ensure they are clear, complete, and testable.
2. Designing test cases and test plans to verify that the software meets the requirements.
3. Executing tests to identify defects and ensure that the software functions correctly.
4. Collaborating with developers and stakeholders to resolve defects and ensure the software meets the desired quality standards.
5. Conducting regression testing to ensure that changes to the software do not negatively impact existing functionality.
6. Monitoring and measuring key quality metrics to track progress and identify opportunities for improvement.

The average cost of hiring QA Engineers ranges from $18 to $28 per hour.

Our QA Tester uses various tools and technologies for manual software testing, including test management tools such as JIRA, TestRail, and HP ALM, defect tracking tools such as Bugzilla and Mantis, and collaboration tools such as Slack and Microsoft Teams.

When hiring manual QA, look for candidates with strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, proficiency in testing techniques and methodologies, and the ability to work well in a team. Additionally, experience in testing software or web applications is a plus.

The are certain deliverables of a manual tester, which are as follows:

1. Test cases: Detailed instructions for executing tests on software or web applications.
2. Test plans: Overall strategy for testing a specific feature, function, or application.
3. Bug reports: Detailed descriptions of defects found during testing, including steps to reproduce the issue.
4. Test results: Documentation of testing outcomes, including pass/fail status and any relevant metrics.
5. Test logs: Records of test activities, including any issues encountered, test data used, and testing environment details.
6. Test summaries: Summaries of testing results, including key findings, recommendations, and overall conclusions.
7. User documentation: Documentation to help users understand how to use the software, including instructions, tutorials, and FAQs.
8. Release notes: Document changes in each software release, including new features, bug fixes, and known issues.

Although uncommon, if you are dissatisfied with the QA Engineer assigned to your project, we have a 10% backup resource available. We can promptly substitute the QA Tester to commence work on your project immediately.

1. Planning: We define the scope of the testing project, set objectives and goals, identify risks and dependencies, and create a plan for how the testing will be conducted. This includes creating a test plan, test cases, and a schedule for executing tests.
2. Design: We design the tests that will be executed. This includes creating test cases, determining the testing environment, and identifying necessary tools or resources.
3. Execution: We run the tests designed in the previous phase. The results of the tests are recorded, and any identified defects or issues are documented.
4. Reporting: The test team will analyze the results and report their findings. This includes identifying any defects or issues discovered and recommendations for addressing them.
5. Closure: In this final phase, the project team will review the testing results and determine if the objectives and goals of the project were met. Any necessary follow-up actions will be identified and documented, and the project will be formally closed.

We support deployment and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) by following a well-defined process that includes planning, preparation, execution, and evaluation.
Before deployment, we typically develop a deployment plan that includes identifying deployment risks, scheduling the deployment, and creating a rollback plan in case issues arise.
UAT involves testing the software by end-users to ensure it meets their requirements and is ready for deployment. We provide training and support to users during UAT and may also offer support services to address any issues during deployment. Throughout the process, we communicate with stakeholders to inform them of progress and any issues. We work to ensure that the deployment and UAT are completed successfully.

Yes, we support load and performance testing as it is an integral part of the software testing process. This testing type helps ensure that software applications can handle heavy user traffic and perform well under various conditions, which is essential for providing a positive user experience.
