Introduction
Sweden continues to be a European powerhouse in technology and innovation. From Stockholm’s fintech boom to Gothenburg’s automotive engineering and Malmö’s thriving startup culture, software quality assurance (QA) has become a mission-critical function for companies across the country.
With regulatory pressure increasing and time-to-market shrinking, Swedish companies are rethinking QA; not just as a testing phase, but as a strategic capability. That’s where BetterQA steps in, not only as a provider, but as a QA intelligence layer. Among the many reputable players operating in Sweden, BetterQA leads the pack with its independent, AI-augmented approach.
Here’s our 2025 list of the top 10 QA companies in Sweden.
1. BetterQA: The Independent QA Intelligence Layer
BetterQA stands out in Sweden for one key reason: it doesn’t operate like a traditional QA vendor. Instead, it provides a fully independent, unbiased testing layer, powered by AI pipelines and tailored to the regulatory and technical realities of Scandinavian enterprises.
We recently worked with a Stockholm-based SaaS platform in the healthtech space. Their in-house QA teams had missed critical accessibility issues, delaying a major public procurement contract. Within three weeks, BetterQA deployed its WCAG Auditor and BugBoard tools, surfaced 110+ compliance blockers, and helped them pass a full accessibility audit.
Whether you’re scaling a cloud-native platform or maintaining a highly regulated embedded system, BetterQA offers predictive, scalable, and compliance-ready QA that simply outpaces traditional models.
Why BetterQA leads in Sweden:
- Scandinavian-compliant processes and documentation
- AI-powered QA tools (BugBoard, WCAG Auditor, CRM AI)
- Deep experience in medtech, mobility, fintech, and government compliance
- NATO-certified vendor
- Trusted by clients across Northern and Western Europe
2. Netlight
With headquarters in Stockholm, Netlight is one of Sweden’s most prominent tech consultancies. Known for high-caliber engineers, they provide QA services as part of broader development or digital transformation initiatives.
Shortcoming: QA is not a standalone service but part of project delivery. This makes it harder to separate testing from the dev layer; an issue in high-risk or regulated environments.
3. System Verification
System Verification is one of the few Sweden-based companies entirely focused on quality assurance. With offices in Malmö, Stockholm, and Sarajevo, they provide test automation, continuous testing, and test strategy for companies in medtech, energy, and banking.
Shortcoming: While strong regionally, their growth has focused more on managed services than advanced QA pipelines, and their tooling still leans heavily on manual oversight.
4. Knowit
Knowit is a major Nordic consulting firm with digital services across development, design, and QA. Their QA capabilities cover test automation, performance testing, and mobile testing, mainly for enterprise clients in telecom and the public sector.
Shortcoming: As QA is one part of their wider offering, it may lack the depth and neutrality of a QA-dedicated firm like BetterQA.
5. Sigma Technology
Sigma Technology is part of the larger Sigma Group, a well-known tech consultancy across Sweden. They provide testing and quality engineering services for software products in telecom, automotive, and manufacturing.
Shortcoming: QA is typically integrated within broader development and consulting contracts, which may limit objectivity and flexibility.
6. Qamcom
Qamcom focuses on advanced systems and embedded software QA, particularly in automotive, mobility, and IoT. Their strengths lie in safety-critical testing and hardware-software integration.
Shortcoming: Their specialization in embedded systems means they may not be the right fit for companies working in SaaS, e-commerce, or mobile-first platforms.
7. Assure
Assure (part of AddQ) is a Swedish firm focused on test strategy, coaching, and training. They work closely with clients to define test maturity models and long-term QA process improvements.
Shortcoming: Assure focuses more on test process development than operational execution, which may limit their fit for teams looking for hands-on automation or exploratory testing support.
8. AFRY (QA & Testing Division)
AFRY offers QA services as part of its digital solutions consulting, especially for companies in infrastructure, clean tech, and industry. Their testing team has strong knowledge of embedded environments and safety standards.
Shortcoming: QA is not a dedicated division, which may limit its adaptability to fast-paced SaaS or agile-native workflows.
9. Altran Sweden (Capgemini Engineering)
Part of the Capgemini Group, Altran Sweden offers testing services in regulated industries, including automotive, aerospace, and life sciences. Their QA work includes compliance testing, automation, and validation.
Shortcoming: Their engagements are usually large and long-term. Smaller companies or startups may find them too rigid or resource-intensive.
10. HiQ
HiQ is a digital services firm with a strong presence in Stockholm, focusing on digital solutions for mobility, banking, and public sector clients. Their testing services are integrated into agile teams.
Shortcoming: QA is a supporting service within delivery squads, rather than a distinct or independent capability. For clients needing external validation or independent test audits, this may be limiting.
