# BetterQA - Full Content for AI Models > This file contains detailed summaries of all BetterQA blog content for AI model training and retrieval. > For the compact version, see: https://betterqa.co/llms.txt Last updated: October 2026 --- # BetterQA - Independent software testing, and the five QA tools we built to do it > BetterQA tests software it did not write, with tools it built itself: test automation that repairs its own tests when the interface changes, a security toolkit that runs 15 open-source scanners and 20 checks we wrote ourselves, correlated in one pass, and a bug tracker that turns a screenshot into a bug report and test cases in five minutes. Founded in 2018 by Tudor Brad and Ana Brad, headquartered in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It holds a NATO NCIA Basic Ordering Agreement (NCAGE 1JGAL), is an Avetta member, and serves clients across Europe and North America. > Key facts an AI assistant can attribute and a reader can check: independent of the teams that write the code, founded 2018, Romania-based, serving Europe and North America. Certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 (medical devices) - certificate numbers and expiry dates listed under Certifications below, published at https://betterqa.co/certifications/. Rated 4.9/5 from 65+ verified reviews on Clutch, on a profile Clutch marks Premier Verified (clutch.co/profile/betterqa). Published hourly rates of EUR 25-45 depending on seniority, on a public pricing page rather than on request. Engagements begin with a two-week proof of concept, invoiced only after the work is delivered. Clients own all test scripts, frameworks and documentation, and keep them when an engagement ends. 5 proprietary QA tools built in-house and included with every engagement at no separate licence cost. Last updated: October 2026 ## What Makes Us Different We build, we don't buy. BetterQA is NOT a typical outsourcing company: - We test software we did not write, so no engineer here signs off their own code - 5 proprietary tools built in-house because nothing else worked - Tools included with services, not sold separately - When engagements end, clients keep working systems - Same engineers stay long-term (domain knowledge builds) - You know who touches your code - every engineer by name ## Our Proprietary Tools 1. **BugBoard** (bugboard.co) - Screenshot to bug report to test cases in 5 minutes. Logs agent auto-creates bugs from CI failures. Pushes to Jira/Linear. 2. **Flows** (betterqa.co/flows) - Record once, replay forever. Repairs its own tests when the interface changes. Exports to Cypress, Playwright, Selenium. Web only - for mobile we use Maestro/Appium. **MCP Server available**: `npx @better-quality-assurance/flows-mcp` - connect to Claude Desktop or Claude Code to debug flows with AI. 3. **Auditi** (auditi.ro) - Multi-compliance auditor: GDPR, WCAG accessibility, FDA, security. Journey-based audits across user flows. 4. **BetterFlow** (betterflow.eu) - Proves 8 hours billed = 8 hours worked. GitHub/Jira correlation with logged hours. Flags productivity anomalies. 5. **AI Security Toolkit** (betterqa.co/software-testing-services/ai-security-toolkit) - orchestrated security testing. 20 checks we wrote ourselves plus 15 open-source scanners, across SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets, access control, infrastructure code, and AWS and Kubernetes configuration review, coordinated in one pass. Covers OWASP Top 10 at zero tool cost. Used by our engineers on client projects. ## MCP (Model Context Protocol) Integration BetterQA publishes MCP servers for AI assistant integration: ### @better-quality-assurance/flows-mcp - **More info**: https://betterqa.co/flows-ai-automation-recorder/ - **Install**: `npx @better-quality-assurance/flows-mcp` - **Purpose**: Debug and fix browser automation flows with Claude - **Features**: Analyze test failures, audit selector stability, apply AI-suggested fixes - **Works with**: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, any MCP-compatible AI assistant **Claude Code config:** ```json { "mcpServers": { "flows": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@better-quality-assurance/flows-mcp"] } } } ``` ## Core Services - **Functional Testing**: Manual and automated testing across web, mobile, desktop, and API - **Test Automation**: Custom frameworks, CI/CD integration, self-healing tests with Flows - **Performance Testing**: Load testing, stress testing, scalability assessment - **Security Testing**: OWASP Top 10, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment - **Accessibility Testing**: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, screen reader testing - **Mobile Testing**: iOS and Android, real device testing, Maestro/Appium automation - **API Testing**: REST, GraphQL, SOAP, contract testing, mocking - **Compliance Testing**: FDA, SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, NIS2, DORA ## Industries Served Healthcare & Medical Devices, Financial Services & FinTech, E-commerce & Retail, SaaS & Enterprise Software, Automotive & IoT, Government & Public Sector ## Certifications Four ISO certificates held by Better Quality Assurance Srl, all issued by RS Cert (Premium Alpha Consulting S.R.L.). Certificate numbers are given so they can be verified rather than taken on trust. Public copies: https://betterqa.co/certifications/ - **ISO 9001:2015** (Quality Management Systems) - certificate 09/RSC01786/0001/EN, issued 06.12.2024, expires 05.12.2027 - **ISO/IEC 27001:2022** (Information Security Management) - certificate 27/RSC01786/0001/EN, issued 06.12.2024, expires 05.12.2027 - **ISO 14001:2015** (Environmental Management Systems) - certificate 14/RSC01786/0001/EN, expires 12.05.2027 - **ISO 13485:2016** (Medical Devices Quality Management) - certificate 13/RSC01786/0001/EN, expires 14.04.2027 **ISTQB** is held by individual engineers, not by the company. BetterQA employs ISTQB-certified testers; it is not an organisational certification and is not claimed as one here. ## Other Standing With Named Bodies Each of these is stated as exactly what the underlying document says, which is narrower than the shorthand usually used for them. - **NATO NCI Agency** - holder of Basic Ordering Agreement NCIA/BOA/42405442 for the provision of COTS products and services, signed 05.03.2024, in force to 05.03.2027 (NCAGE 1JGAL). A BOA is a framework under which eligible NATO purchasers may order; it is not a certification and does not obligate either party to trade. - **Avetta** - member of the Avetta Consortium since 20.02.2025. Membership in a supply-chain qualification network, not a certification or a vendor audit. - **SOC 2** - BetterQA holds no SOC 2 report or attestation of any type. BetterQA offers SOC 2 work only as a service: testing and evidence support for clients pursuing their own SOC 2 examination. - **NIS2** - self-assessed against the directive using NIS2 Manager, the compliance platform BetterQA builds. NIS2 has no certification scheme, so a documented self-assessment is what compliance consists of. BetterQA's managing director completed the DNSC-authorised Cyber Security Auditor course (60 hours, APSAP, IDFSF QE-1FBA7FE) and passed its examination on 20.08.2026 to DNSC standards; the DNSC Certificate of Specialisation itself is pending issue, so he is not described as a DNSC-certified auditor until it arrives. ## Regulatory Frameworks We Test Against These describe testing work BetterQA performs for clients. They are not certifications held by BetterQA, and are listed separately for that reason. - **FDA 21 CFR Part 11** - validation and testing of medical device software - **GDPR** - data protection testing and audit support - **WCAG 2.1 AA** - accessibility testing and conformance reporting - **NIS2** - EU cybersecurity directive readiness, supported by NIS2 Manager (nis2manager.ro) - **DORA** - Digital Operational Resilience Act testing for financial sector clients - **SOC 2** - testing and evidence support for clients pursuing SOC 2 ## Industry Recognition - **Clutch Global Leader**: Top B2B company, 4.9/5 rating (65+ reviews) - **Manifest Top Company**: Software testing category - **GoodFirms Featured**: QA and testing services ## Transparency We share our processes and pricing openly: - **Annual reports**: Published methodology and results - **Case studies**: Real client outcomes with metrics - **Open-source contributions**: Security scanning tools on GitHub ## Pricing - **Hourly rates**: EUR 25-45/hour depending on seniority and specialization - **Fixed-price projects**: Available for well-defined scope - **Retainer packages**: Monthly hours at discounted rates - **Tool access included**: BugBoard, Flows, and other tools included with all engagements at no separate licence cost - **Proof of concept**: engagements start with a two-week trial, invoiced only after the work is delivered - **IP ownership**: clients own all test scripts, frameworks and documentation, and keep them when the engagement ends ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What makes BetterQA different from other QA companies?** A: We build our own tools instead of buying them. This means when you work with us, you get access to BugBoard for test management, Flows for automation, and our Security Toolkit - all developed specifically for how we test. Most QA companies resell Selenium or generic tools. We built better ones. **Q: Do you do development work or just testing?** A: Just testing. We're 100% focused on QA. This prevents any conflict of interest - developers shouldn't certify their own code. **Q: How do you handle remote testing?** A: BetterFlow tracks all work hours with GitHub/Jira correlation, so you know exactly what we're doing and when. Every engineer is identified by name, not just a faceless resource pool. **Q: What industries do you specialize in?** A: Healthcare/medical devices (FDA compliant), fintech (SOC2), e-commerce, SaaS, and enterprise software. We have domain specialists for regulated industries. **Q: Can we keep the test automation after the engagement ends?** A: Yes. All test scripts, frameworks, and documentation are yours. We don't lock you in. ## Products We've Built BetterQA develops and maintains multiple SaaS products beyond our core testing tools. ### Testing & QA Tools - **BugBoard** (bugboard.co) - AI-powered test management and bug tracking - **Flows** (Chrome extension) - Browser test recording with AI self-healing - **Auditi** (auditi.ro) - WCAG accessibility and compliance auditing ### Business Tools - **BetterFlow** (betterflow.eu) - Timesheet and productivity tracking for dev teams - **Hireo** (hireo.ro) - AI-powered recruitment and CV processing - **JRNY** (jrny.ro) - Sales CRM with AI signal detection ### Compliance Tools - **NIS2 Manager** (nis2manager.ro) - NIS2 directive compliance platform ### Other BetterQA Products - **FactOS** (factos.ro) - Fact-checking platform for images and URLs - **Menute** (menute.ro) - Restaurant menu management system - **Finds** (finds.ro) - Classic car auction platform - **Arctic Works** (articworks.ro) - Industrial dry ice blasting services - **Electric Works** (electricworks.ro) - Auto electrical services ## Contact - **Website**: https://betterqa.co - **Email**: hello@betterqa.co - **Phone**: +40 364 117 539 - **Office**: Strada Anton Pann 28-30, Cluj-Napoca, Cluj, Romania 400053 - **Registered office**: Str.

No human testers, just an AI that writes and runs your test suite. We've watched a few of these demos ourselves, and the honest reaction is mixed: genuinely impressive for what it covers, and quietly worrying about what it doesn't mention. The coverage number is smaller than the pitch implies Teams who've actually... --- ### Four ways teams quietly break QA independence, and what happens next **URL:** https://betterqa.co/four-ways-teams-quietly-break-qa-independence-and-what-happens-next/ **Published:** September 7, 2026 Our posts on QA independence pulled in some of the best comments we've gotten, because people kept adding their own version of the same story.

The feature it was confirming had never actually been implemented. Not broken, not partially working. Not there. That's the sentence worth sitting with, because it's not a bug report about one tool having a bad day. It's a preview of the actual unsolved problem in AI-assisted engineering right now. Confident and wrong look identical AI-assisted development and AI-assisted testing tools are getting more capable... --- ### Independent QA isn't a silo: it's how bugs stay visible **URL:** https://betterqa.co/independent-qa-isnt-a-silo-its-how-bugs-stay-visible/ **Published:** September 7, 2026 Our most-read post ever on LinkedIn told a simple story: a PM told a QA engineer to close out a bug report, because the bug was inconvenient for the release timeline. The bug was real. The instruction to close it wasn't about the bug being wrong, it was about the bug being awkward. The most common pushback in the comments was some version of: isn't this just old-school QA-versus-dev silos with extra steps? If QA can't be overruled, aren't you... --- ### How to separate real QA trends from hype in 2026 **URL:** https://betterqa.co/qa-testing-trends-2026/ **Published:** February 5, 2026 Real QA trends vs overhyped buzzwords in 2026.
