Overview
QA and Testing, explained
Quality assurance protects your users and your release schedule. A good QA process finds problems early, checks what matters most to users and gives the team confidence to release regularly.
We provide manual testing, test automation, API, performance and mobile device testing, either as a standalone service or as part of a delivery team. Automation testing was part of our work on the e-scooter hire platform, where reliability across app and admin flows was essential.

Why PoliteTech
Why teams choose PoliteTech
Scope before commitment
Priorities, assumptions and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing before a delivery plan is fixed.
Engineers who build
Recommendations come from the people who design, code and support the software, so they reflect real implementation effort.
Visible progress
A shared backlog, regular demos and recorded decisions keep you informed without chasing updates.
Practical AI
Evaluation sets, review steps, cost limits and monitoring are part of every AI feature we ship.
Flexible engagement
Start with a scoped project, a dedicated team or support, and change the model as your roadmap evolves.
Clear ownership
Repositories and accounts can live in your organisation, with IP and confidentiality terms agreed in the contract.
Industries
Where this work fits
Retail and Ecommerce
Build web and mobile journeys around product discovery, ordering and customer service.
Financial Software
Support reporting, document processing and internal operations through defined application workflows.
Logistics Software
Connect planning, task assignment and operational updates in one workflow.
Education and Elearning
Create platforms for content, activities and progress tracking.
Fitness and Wellness Apps

Manufacturing Software
Replace fragmented tracking with workflows for quotations, work status and supporting documents.
Real Estate Applications
Create listing, enquiry and internal coordination tools around your business process.
Business Operations
Build task, approval and reporting tools around the way your team works.
Process
A practical path from requirements to release.
Each stage ends with something you can review: a scope, a prototype, a working increment or a release.
01
Understand
Discuss your users, business needs, existing systems and delivery constraints.
02
Define
Agree scope, technical approach, responsibilities and a delivery plan.
03
Design and build
Develop in manageable increments with visible progress and review points.
04
Test and release
Validate agreed workflows, resolve release blockers and prepare deployment.
05
Support and improve
Document the handover, review production feedback and plan the next priorities.

Cost
What shapes the cost of your project?
There is no useful price without scope. These are the factors we review when preparing an estimate, and the estimate lists every assumption so you can see what would change it.
01
Platforms
Web, iOS, Android or all three, and whether apps are native or cross-platform.
02
Features and roles
The number of user journeys, roles and business rules in the first release.
03
Integrations
Payments, maps, CRMs, ERPs and third-party APIs each add scope.
04
Design depth
From using a component library to a fully custom design system.
05
Data migration
Moving and validating data from existing systems.
06
Non-functional needs
Performance, security, availability and compliance requirements.
Engagement models
Choose the engagement that fits your next step.
Dedicated Team
For a changing roadmap or ongoing development. Agree roles and working process, then manage priorities through a shared backlog.
Best for team extension and long-term product work.
Scoped Project
For a defined product or milestone. Align on requirements, deliverables and acceptance criteria, with changes reviewed before they affect the plan.
Best for MVPs, integrations and focused releases.
Maintenance and Improvement
For software that already exists. Start with a technical review, then agree support routines and planned improvements.
Best for live applications and modernisation.
FAQ
Questions about QA and testing
Can you test an app built by another team?
Yes. We start by understanding the product and its critical workflows.
Which automation tools do you use?
Playwright, Cypress, Selenium and Appium for UI, and Postman or code-based tests for APIs.
How much should we automate?
Start with stable, high-value regression journeys. Exploratory testing remains manual.
Can QA join our sprints?
Yes, QA engineers can work inside your team and ceremonies.
Do you do performance testing?
Yes, with tools such as k6 or JMeter against agreed scenarios.
How do you report bugs?
In your tracker with steps, environment, evidence and priority.
Can you test an application developed elsewhere?
Yes. We review the environment, access and documentation needed to define the testing scope.
Will every test be automated?
No. Automation is selected for stable, repeatable checks; exploratory and usability work still need human judgment.
How are pricing and timelines determined?
We review requirements, technical complexity, team needs and delivery constraints before proposing an engagement. Estimates list assumptions and what may change the plan.
Can we discuss a project under an NDA?
Yes. Let us know before sharing confidential materials so we can agree confidentiality terms first.
