Software Quality Assurance in HamburgTest. Document.
Prove it.

As soon as a project has more than a handful of interfaces or several teams developing in parallel, quality assurance quickly becomes a full-time job. In our experience, a dedicated test management role pays off from a project with regular releases over several months, for regulated applications (e.g. insurance or healthcare), or whenever business and development teams end up testing past each other. We take on this role selectively for individual releases or continuously for the whole project.

Both — depending on what fits the project. We gradually automate regression-heavy, stable areas of functionality, while exploratory and UAT-related tests usually stay manual because domain understanding matters most there. Before automating anything, we create an automation concept with tool selection and prioritisation, so the investment actually pays off instead of turning into a pile of high-maintenance test scripts.

We start by reviewing the manual regression tests and rating them by execution frequency, effort and stability. This results in an automation concept with goals, a tool recommendation and prioritisation. We begin with a few stable core processes and API tests that are integrated into your CI/CD pipeline; the suite then grows step by step with every sprint. For companies in Hamburg and across Germany, we support the introduction remotely, hybrid or on site.

Yes. Performance testing is part of our non-functional testing. Together with you we define measurable performance requirements, build a realistic load profile and analyse the results with development and operations — as the basis for the go-live decision. For companies in Hamburg we also work on site; across Germany we work remotely or in a hybrid setup.

We start with a test concept and strategy, derive test cases from the requirements, and run tests in a structured way with logging in your tool of choice. Defects are prioritised, tracked through defect management, and re-checked before the next test cycle (retest). We close with a test report and a clear release recommendation, so the go-live decision is based on facts, not gut feeling.

Yes, we're tool-agnostic and work within your existing environment — whether that's Jira with Xray or Zephyr, TestRail, Azure Test Plans, or an in-house tool. You don't need to switch tools for our sake. If no test management structure exists yet, we're happy to propose a lean setup that fits your team size and budget.

Critical defects don't automatically halt the whole schedule — they're prioritised through defect tracking and reported transparently to the business side. We facilitate the decision on whether a defect must be fixed before go-live or documented as a known limitation and fixed afterwards. That keeps the acceptance process traceable and audit-ready, even when not every defect threatens the deadline.

Costs depend on the test scope and the type of service. We work with daily rates or fixed project fees and prepare a concrete quote for you after the free, non-binding 30-minute initial consultation. That way you only pay for the QA services your project actually needs.

We can usually start within 1–2 weeks. We work remotely, in a hybrid setup or on-site in Hamburg and across Germany — whichever suits your project best.

Yes, our quality assurance is ISTQB-certified. We create test strategies, test case specifications and test documentation according to this standard — traceable and audit-ready.

Yes. Alongside end-to-end quality assurance, we also take on clearly defined sub-tasks — such as the test strategy, supporting user acceptance testing or a test automation concept. We agree on the right scope together in the initial consultation.

Risk-based: together with development, we analyse which areas a change affects and prioritise regression test cases by business risk. Depending on the release, this results in a smoke test, a targeted or a full regression test – with clear release criteria and a traceable test report. We automate frequently repeated regression tests step by step, remotely or on-site in Hamburg.

A test plan defines what is tested and what is not, which test levels and test types are planned, how testing is prioritised by risk, which test environments and test data are needed, who takes on which role and which exit and release criteria the decision is based on. We write test plans to ISTQB standards and align them with all stakeholders — on site for companies in Hamburg, remote or hybrid across Germany.

In agile teams, testing is part of every sprint rather than a separate phase at the end of the project: acceptance criteria are clarified before implementation, a user story only counts as done once its tests pass (Definition of Done), and automated regression tests grow with every sprint. We bring testing expertise directly into your Scrum team — on site in Hamburg, remotely across Germany or hybrid.
