QA Engineering
Ensure release readiness and improve quality — as a dedicated QA team or by building internal capabilities
Releases blocked because quality isn't there? Test coverage is patchy and manual testing slows every iteration? Krafteq handles quality assurance and test automation — as a dedicated QA team working continuously on your projects, or as a targeted initiative to build QA processes and capabilities. You decide what fits.
SaaS provider, 80 employees: Release cadence increased from monthly to weekly | QA process built in 4 weeks
ChallengesQuality issues are slowing your entire delivery
You know the pattern: a release is due, but nobody dares to press the deploy button. Manual tests take days, regression bugs surface late, and developers spend more time on bugfixes than on new features. At the same time, QA specialists are missing to solve the problem internally.
No dedicated QA team
QA specialists are hard to find and expensive to build. Without a dedicated QA team, quality assurance falls on developers — who have neither the time nor the expertise for it.
Manual tests block releases
Releases take days because every test run is manual. Regression bugs surface late and force rework. Your team spends more time on bugfixes than on new features.
Fragile test automation without a strategy
Some teams adopt test automation without a clear strategy — and six months later face a fragile test framework that breaks with every change.
QA as a silo instead of a team process
Quality assurance is treated as a separate step rather than being integrated into the development process. This leads to late feedback loops and high costs.
Growing delivery pressure without a quality safety net
The pressure to deliver faster is increasing. Without a functioning QA process, every release becomes a risk — and every hotfix becomes the norm.
Delivery ModelsThree paths to reliable quality assurance — you decide
Krafteq handles QA engineering flexibly. Whether we work as a dedicated QA team on your projects long-term, build a QA process on a project basis, or enable your internal team — the delivery model adapts to your needs.
Managed QA team — working on your projects long-term
Krafteq provides a dedicated QA team that works continuously on your projects: manual testing, test automation, performance testing, security testing. Scalable as needed. Ideal for organizations that need QA capacity without having to hire QA specialists themselves.
Project-based — defined scope, clear target state
Build a QA process, introduce test automation, resolve release blockers — with a defined scope and target state. Typical duration: 2-6 weeks. Each project delivers a standalone result.
Team enablement — build internal QA capabilities
Transfer knowledge, build internal QA capabilities, empower your team. Our engineers work in your sprints, write tests together with your developers, and document everything essential. After completion, your team stands on its own.
Resolve release blockers
We identify what's blocking your releases and eliminate the root cause. Result: increase release cadence from monthly to weekly.
Test automation that lasts
We use Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium strategically — with maintainable structures instead of fragile scripts. The automation grows with your software and is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline from day one.
Measurable quality improvement
Fewer production defects, shorter feedback cycles, higher test coverage. We measure progress using concrete KPIs — so QA accelerates the development process instead of slowing it down.
ProcessHow we start — regardless of delivery model
Every QA engineering engagement begins with an assessment. Whether a managed QA team is then built, a project is delivered, or an enablement is conducted — the first phase lays the foundation.
-
QA assessment and gap analysis (Week 1)
We analyze your current test status, existing infrastructure, and the biggest quality risks. You receive a clear report: where you stand, where the gaps are, and which measures have the greatest leverage. We also evaluate your CI/CD pipeline for integration opportunities with automated tests.
Clear picture of the current state and prioritized measures
-
Test strategy and automation setup (Week 2-3)
Based on the analysis, we define a pragmatic test strategy: which tests at which level — unit, integration, E2E, performance. At the same time, we begin setting up test automation. The first automated tests are already running by the end of this phase.

-
Team integration and operational practice (Week 3-5)
Our QA engineers work directly in your sprints. They write tests together with your developers, establish review processes for test code, and build reporting dashboards. For managed QA teams, we take over ongoing test operations. For enablement, this is where the actual knowledge transfer takes place.
QA as a permanent part of the development process
-
Steady-state operations or handover (Week 4-6)
For managed QA teams, the engagement transitions to steady-state operations — scalable as needed. For project-based QA setup and enablement, your team gradually takes over full responsibility. We support the transition, verify process stability, and document everything essential.

ServicesWhat QA Engineering covers
Our QA engineers bring deep experience across all relevant disciplines. Whether as a managed QA team or in a project — you get holistic quality assurance, not isolated individual measures.
Dedicated QA team
Krafteq QA engineers work continuously on your projects: manual testing, test automation, performance testing, security testing. Composition and scope are tailored to your needs.
Test automation and CI integration
Building and maintaining automated test suites with Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium. Full integration into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins. Reporting dashboards for transparency.
Test strategy and QA assessment
Analysis of the current test status and gaps. Pragmatic test strategy: which tests at which level — unit, integration, E2E, performance. Prioritized by business risk.
API and performance testing
REST Assured and Postman for API tests. k6 for performance and load tests. Automated in the pipeline so performance regressions don't surface only in production.
Team integration and knowledge transfer
Embedding QA engineers into the existing development team. Pair testing, documented processes, and workshops ensure knowledge stays in the team — not with the service provider.
Security testing
Security tests as a permanent part of the QA pipeline. From OWASP-based checks to automated vulnerability scans. Integrated into the development process, not as an afterthought.
QA Engineering — let's talk about it
Let us discuss how we can support your team.
“Quality assurance is not an afterthought — it belongs at the core of the development process. Whether as a dedicated QA team or as enablement: what matters in the end is that your releases are reliable and your quality is measurably better.”
