What are software testing services?

Software testing services are the structured verification of applications to find defects, validate functionality, measure performance, and assess security before code reaches production users. This includes manual test execution, automated regression suites, load and stress testing, security vulnerability assessments, API testing, and mobile device compatibility testing - delivered by dedicated QA engineers embedded in or alongside your development team.

Services

Software testing services we provide

From exploratory manual testing to full automation frameworks and security audits - we cover every layer of quality assurance your product needs.

01

Manual & Exploratory Testing

Human testers executing structured test cases and exploring your application for edge cases, usability issues, and unexpected behavior that scripts cannot find. Detailed bug reports with reproduction steps, screenshots, and severity ratings.

02

Test Automation

Automated regression suites using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or Appium. We write, maintain, and extend the test suite and integrate it into your CI/CD pipeline so tests run automatically on every pull request.

03

Performance & Load Testing

Load tests, stress tests, and spike tests using k6, JMeter, or Gatling. We measure response times, throughput, and failure points under real traffic conditions - before your users find them under a product launch.

04

Security Testing

OWASP Top 10 vulnerability assessment, API security testing, authentication and authorization audits, dependency scanning, and sensitive data exposure checks. Written report with severity ratings and remediation steps.

05

API Testing

Functional, integration, and contract testing for REST and GraphQL APIs. Schema validation, authentication flows, error handling, and edge case coverage. Automated collections run on every deployment.

06

Mobile App Testing

Native and cross-platform mobile app testing across real devices and emulators. OS version coverage, device compatibility, network condition simulation, offline behavior, and app store compliance verification.

How we work with you

Three ways to engage our QA team

Every team's testing needs are different. We work the way that fits your development workflow, not the other way around.

Most popular

Embedded QA Engineer

A dedicated tester joins your sprint ceremonies, reviews acceptance criteria, tests each feature as it is built, and owns the QA process end to end. The most effective model for teams that ship continuously.

Our process

How a QA engagement actually runs

We do not just execute test cases and file tickets. We integrate into your workflow so quality is part of how you build, not a gate at the end.

1
2-5 days

QA Assessment

We review your application, codebase, existing tests, and CI/CD setup. You receive a written assessment of current coverage gaps, highest-risk areas, and a recommended testing strategy.

2
3-5 days

Test Plan & Scope

We define the test scope, acceptance criteria coverage, automation priorities, and performance or security test scenarios. You approve the plan before we write a line of test code.

3
1-3 weeks

Test Suite Development

We write automated test scripts, set up the framework, and integrate with your CI/CD pipeline. Manual test cases are documented in your preferred test management tool.

4
Continuous

Execution & Bug Reporting

Tests run on every PR and deployment. Manual testing covers each feature and release cycle. Bug reports include reproduction steps, environment details, screenshots, and severity ratings.

5
Per sprint

Triage & Verification

We participate in bug triage, verify fixes in the correct environment, and update test cases to cover the regression. Nothing is marked closed until it is verified fixed.

6
End of engagement

Handover & Documentation

Full test suite handover to your repository, test plan documentation, runbook for maintaining coverage, and a final QA summary report with metrics and coverage analysis.

Pricing

Software testing cost & timelines

QA engagements are scoped to what your product actually needs - not a fixed package that covers too little or charges for too much.

Ranges reflect market-standard rates. Final pricing follows a free QA assessment call with a written scope. Application complexity, coverage scope, and automation depth are the primary cost drivers.

Why CodeShiper

QA from engineers who have shipped software

We test software the way developers build it - with context, ownership, and a bias for shipping quality rather than blocking releases.

01

We integrate into your workflow, not around it

Our QA engineers join your standups, review PRs, and participate in sprint retrospectives. Quality is embedded in how the team works, not added as a gate at the end of each release.

02

We write tests that your team can maintain

Automation code is clean, well-structured, and committed to your repository. We document the testing strategy so your team can extend coverage without us. No black-box handover.

03

We prioritize by risk, not by list

Not all features carry equal risk. We focus test effort on the flows that matter most to your users and business - payment, auth, data integrity - not on exhaustive checkbox coverage.

04

Security testing that speaks to developers

Our security findings come with clear reproduction steps, severity ratings, and specific code-level remediation recommendations - not a generic checklist of CVE numbers.

05

Fast to start, no long ramp-up

We can begin manual testing within 3 to 5 business days of access. Automation setup takes 1 to 2 weeks. No 3-month onboarding process before the first test runs.

06

Everything is documented and handed over

Test plans, bug reports, automation code, runbooks, and final QA summary reports all belong to you. When the engagement ends, your team has everything needed to continue independently.

Frequently asked questions

Software testing - costs, timelines, tools, and everything else clients ask before they start a QA engagement.

What is the difference between manual and automated testing?
Manual testing is a human tester executing test cases - exploring the application, checking edge cases, and verifying user flows that require judgement. Automated testing uses scripts to run predefined checks repeatedly and reliably - useful for regression suites, API validation, and load scenarios. Both have a role: automation handles repeatability and scale; manual handles exploration, usability, and edge cases that are hard to script. We recommend the right mix for your project and budget.
How much do software testing services cost?
A focused QA engagement for a single application sprint typically costs $2,000 to $8,000. A full-cycle QA partnership covering manual, automation, and performance testing runs $5,000 to $30,000+ per month depending on team size and coverage scope. A one-time load test or security audit costs $3,000 to $15,000. You receive a scoped proposal with a line-item breakdown after a free assessment call.
How quickly can you start testing our application?
For manual testing and exploratory QA, we can typically begin within 3 to 5 business days of receiving access and documentation. For automated testing frameworks, setup takes 1 to 2 weeks before the first runs execute. For performance or security testing, scoping and setup takes 1 to 2 weeks depending on the complexity of your infrastructure.
Do you write and maintain test automation frameworks?
Yes. We build and maintain automated test suites using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, and Appium for UI testing; pytest, JUnit, and Vitest for unit and integration testing; k6, JMeter, and Gatling for performance testing. We set up the CI/CD pipeline integration so tests run automatically on every pull request and deployment.
What is performance testing and when do I need it?
Performance testing verifies that your application holds up under real traffic conditions - measuring response times, throughput, and failure points under load. You need it before any major launch, before a traffic spike you can anticipate (a marketing campaign, a seasonal peak), or when users are reporting slowness that you cannot reproduce in development. We run load tests, stress tests, and spike tests depending on what you need to validate.
What does security testing cover?
Our security testing covers OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (injection, broken auth, XSS, insecure direct object references, etc.), API security, authentication and authorization flaws, sensitive data exposure, and dependency vulnerabilities. We deliver a written report with severity ratings and remediation steps. For production systems handling sensitive data, we recommend this before every major release.
Can you test mobile apps as well as web apps?
Yes. We test native iOS and Android apps, cross-platform React Native and Flutter apps, and mobile web. Testing covers device compatibility (real devices and emulators), OS version coverage, network condition simulation, offline behavior, push notifications, and app store compliance requirements.
Do you integrate with our existing CI/CD pipeline?
Yes. We integrate test suites with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Bitbucket Pipelines. Tests run automatically on pull requests and deployments. Failed tests block merges or deployments depending on your workflow. We also set up test reporting dashboards so the team has visibility into coverage and failure trends over time.
What deliverables do we receive?
Deliverables depend on the engagement type but typically include: a test plan document, test case library, bug reports with reproduction steps and severity ratings, test execution reports, automation code committed to your repository, performance test results with charts and recommendations, and a final QA summary report. Everything is documented and handed over so your team can maintain and extend it.
Can you embed a QA engineer in our existing development team?
Yes. We offer embedded QA - a dedicated tester or test automation engineer who joins your team's sprint ceremonies, participates in code reviews, reviews acceptance criteria, and owns the QA process end to end. This is the most effective model for teams that ship continuously and need QA integrated into the development workflow rather than bolted on at the end.
