We test software, we never write it. Vibe coding ships features in hours, and the bugs arrive just as fast. We catch them with QA tools we built ourselves and engineers who stay with your product.

We shipped last week. Three customers found bugs we missed.

We're releasing faster than QA can keep up.

Our codebase has inconsistencies nobody owns.

We automated the happy path. Edge cases still break in production.

If any of these resonate, you're in the right place.

// about us

Speed creates gaps. We close them.

When code ships faster than it's reviewed, things slip through:

  • Edge cases nobody considered in generated code
  • Regressions nobody retested after automated refactors
  • Prompt injection vulnerabilities nobody tested
  • Technical debt nobody tracks across rapid iterations

We started in 2018 when a healthcare project had so many bugs the client needed us to scale from 1 to 8 QA engineers. The lesson was simple: development teams shouldn't validate their own code. A dev manager will close valid bugs to meet a deadline. We've seen it happen.

Today we're 50+ engineers in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, with 5 proprietary tools, built because nothing on the market did what we needed. Same people long-term - you know who touches your code.

Automated development will replace manual coding before it replaces QA. 10x development speed means 10x the defects. You need humans validating what gets built - not more automation running unsupervised.

What we caught before release.

An example sprint report for an HR platform that ships weekly. Four bugs that would have reached users, stopped before the release went out.

How we keep up with your release cadence

You ship weekly. Some teams ship daily. Here's how QA matches that pace without cutting corners.

01

Requirements review

We read what developers skim. Gaps found before code is written.

Shift-left
02

Test cases written

While your devs write code, our engineers write tests. Ready when the feature lands.

Human-written
03

Manual testing

The edge cases nobody thought to automate.

Human-led
04

Bug fixing + retesting

Fast feedback loops. Fix, retest, ship.

Human-validated
05

Automation

Happy flows automated. Self-healing when your codebase changes.

Self-healing
06

Release report

Go/no-go in one page. Clear signal, no ambiguity.

Questions we hear on every sales call

Taken from our latest calls with fintech, insurance and healthcare teams. Straight answers.

Time and material: $25-45 per engineer hour, depending on seniority and stack. We invoice monthly, after the work is done. Our tools (BugBoard, Flows, Auditi, Security Toolkit, BetterFlow) are included, with no per-seat licences. Most teams start with one or two engineers and grow from there. Every hour is logged in BetterFlow, so you can see what you paid for.
Yes, two ways. A free proof of concept under NDA: we test a slice of your product and show you what we found. Or start for real, and if you are not happy after the first two weeks, you don't pay for them.
Usually within two weeks. We keep engineers available, so finding the right person is rarely the slow part. The paperwork is: NDA, contract and access to your tools. Send those the same week and we can be in your standup the week after.
They join your standups, Slack, Jira and sprint ceremonies, and they work only on your project, not spread across five clients. They read requirements before code is written, so when a feature is ready, the tests are already waiting for it.
A senior engineer runs on autopilot: they learn your product and ask the right questions without being managed. A junior costs less and needs direction. We tell you plainly which one your project needs, and the same people stay with you, because what they learn about your product is what makes them good at testing it.
Yes. For AI features we test what goes wrong in practice: prompt injection, data leaking out, answers that sound right and are not. Our Security Toolkit runs against your app as part of the testing. For regulated teams (DORA, insurance distribution rules, medical devices) each release gets a BugBoard report of what was tested and what passed, which is the audit trail an auditor asks for. We hold ISO 27001, 9001 and 13485, see our certifications.
The first month is a trial, after that it is 30 days' notice, with no long contract. And you keep every test we write: automation lives in your repository from day one (Playwright and TypeScript), and test cases export to CSV. Nothing is locked in a format only we can read.
No, on purpose. A chef shouldn't certify his own dish. We only test, so nobody on our side has a reason to close a bug that makes the code look bad. Each report comes with steps, evidence and the likely cause, so your developers fix it fast.
