Slow Release Cycles
Your team spends more time fixing regressions than building features. We identify bottlenecks in your pipeline and "definition of done" to speed up your time-to-market.
QA audit services
for mobile and web apps
A QA audit shows how well your app is tested and what breaks your releases. A 2-3 day review starts from $500; a full one-week audit starts from $1,000. You get a prioritised report and a plan you can run with us or on your own.
Find what's breaking before your users do.
Whether you are struggling with slow release cycles, flaky automation or unhappy users, our audit gives you a transparent "Health Score" and a prioritized roadmap to achieve a 5-star product experience.

When do you need A QA Audit
Post-Launch Instability
Your users are finding bugs that your team missed. We analyze your test coverage gaps and device fragmentation strategy to ensure your app works in the real world, not just on a simulator.
Automation "Flakiness"
You have automated tests, but they fail randomly, or nobody trusts them. We review your automation architecture to turn your test suite from a maintenance burden into a safety net.
Inherited App Assessment
You've taken over an app without knowing its quality baseline. We evaluate existing test coverage, identify undocumented functionality, and assess QA maturity—giving you a clear picture of technical quality risks before you commit to roadmap promises.
Pre-Investment Due Diligence
You are preparing for a funding round or acquisition. We provide an unbiased third-party report on the technical quality and scalability of the product to reassure investors.
Our QA Audit services are tailored to fit your specific needs
Manual QA Audit
We test your app the way real users do—on real devices, through real workflows. Our QA engineers manually explore your app to uncover issues automated tests can't catch: confusing UX flows, edge case bugs, device-specific crashes and inconsistent behavior across OS versions. This audit focuses on the user experience and functional quality of your released or pre-release app.

Timeline
2 - 3 days
Test Automation Review
We audit your existing QA automation infrastructure—analyzing test coverage, code quality, execution reliability, and CI/CD integration. This review identifies gaps where tests give false confidence, pinpoints flaky tests wasting developer time, and recommends improvements to maximize your testing ROI.

QA audit or code audit?
Both are fixed-price and both end with a prioritised report. Pick by what you need to find out.

FAQs
- A QA audit costs from $500 for a 2-3 day review of how your app is tested and where it breaks. A full one-week audit starts from $1,000. Both are fixed-price and end with a prioritised report and a plan you can run with us or on your own.
- Typically up to 1 week, depending on the complexity of the product and the depth of the audit (e.g., manual only vs. full automation code review).
- For a Test Automation Audit, yes. We need read-access to your repositories to evaluate test code quality. For a Manual QA Audit, we only need access to the builds (TestFlight/APK) and documentation.
- Minimal to zero. We work autonomously. We may request a 1-hour interview with your Lead Dev or Product Owner to understand context, but otherwise, we work in parallel without slowing down your sprints.
- Our audit deliverables include detailed reports with prioritized recommendations and implementation guidance for your team. If you need hands-on help implementing fixes, we offer follow-up development services separately.
- We sign NDAs before discovery calls, can work with sanitized test data, and accommodate security protocols like VPN access, on-premise audits, or air-gapped environments. Our team understands HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 compliance contexts—we've worked with apps handling PHI, financial transactions, and proprietary business logic.
