QA & Software Testing Services

Usually, it comes down to two situations: you either need more QA engineers because testing is slowing down software releases, or you need to test business-critical features or workflows that require more intensive testing.

Some products just have very little room for failure. So, a dedicated QA team can be especially useful when your application is used by a large number of users or supports critical business operations. The same applies to high-availability systems, such as those used by airlines or energy companies, where even a short outage or a serious bug can quickly create a major operational problem.

We reduce production failures by testing changes continuously and checking not only what was just built, but also the parts of the application that could be affected.

• We get involved early: Our QA engineers review requirements and acceptance criteria, discuss risks and edge cases with developers, and test each ticket as soon as it is ready. This helps us catch issues before they become bigger problems later in the release.
• We test more than just the new feature: Before release, we run regression tests across important business flows and affected areas. We also validate integrations, error handling, and previously fixed bugs to make sure a new change has not broken something that was already working.
• We document everything: When we find a bug, we document it clearly with reproduction steps and evidence so developers can understand the issue and fix it faster.
• We improve coverage over time: We also use issues found during testing or in production to improve future test coverage. For example, if the same type of problem keeps appearing, we may add a new regression test or automate that workflow.

Please keep in mind that while our team can significantly reduce the risk of production issues, no testing process can guarantee that every possible defect will be caught before release.

As a rule of thumb, Ewents recommends at least one QA engineer for every five developers, or a 1:5 ratio. For more critical products, such as applications serving millions of users or features where a failure could seriously affect the business, we prefer to move closer to one QA engineer for every three developers, or a 1:3 ratio.

For most teams, the important thing is making sure QA does not become the bottleneck. If the development team is shipping out code and one QA engineer cannot keep up with testing, that is usually a sign that the organization needs to hire more QA engineers and automate more workflows.

Yes. Ewents can assign nearshore QA engineers who improve your test automation and CI/CD workflows. Our services cover:

• Defining clear test cases: Our manual QA engineers document critical business flows, regression scenarios, and repetitive checks that can become the foundation for automation.
• Improving or expanding automation: Our QA automation engineers can work with your existing framework, add missing coverage, and build tests using tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, WebDriverIO, Appium, Pytest, and Cucumber.
• Adding an SDET when needed: For more technical work, we can bring in a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to build more advanced testing frameworks, automation tools, and integrations.
• Connecting testing to CI/CD: We can add automated tests to your existing pipeline so developers get faster feedback when a change introduces a problem.

Before a major release, we can also support load and stress testing to see how the application behaves under heavier traffic and identify performance or stability issues before going live. If you have additional questions about our QA and software testing services, contact our team.
