Quality Assurance & Closing Testing Gaps

Before production does it for you

Your releases are delayed because nobody knows if the software runs reliably? Production errors damage your reputation, and your team spends more time on bugfixes than features? Krafteq closes your testing gaps with experienced QA engineers — sustainably, measurably, and within weeks.

4 Weeks to release readiness
80%+ Fewer production outages
2-6 Weeks Complete QA buildout

SaaS provider, 80 employees: release blocker resolved through QA. Senior engineers with ownership mentality.

Why quality assurance determines success or failure in 2026

Testing gaps aren't a technical detail — they're a business risk. The release date is set, but nobody can say with certainty whether the new code breaks existing functionality. Manual tests take days. Regression bugs only surface in production.

  1. Severe shortage of QA professionals

    Qualified QA engineers with expertise in test automation, AI testing, and DevOps are nearly impossible to find. At the same time, system complexity keeps increasing. This gap widens every quarter.

  2. Test automation that doesn't hold up

    Many companies invest in automation — and months later face fragile test suites that break with every change. The maintenance overhead negates the investment.

  3. Production data without consequence

    94% of organizations evaluate production data. However, nearly half can't derive concrete actions from it. Collecting data isn't enough — you need a process that turns data into quality.

  4. AI features without guardrails

    AI-related incidents rose by 56% in 2024. Yet only 27% of companies have ethical guardrails for AI features. Without dedicated QA for AI components, you risk uncontrolled behavior in production.

  5. Compliance pressure is growing

    The EU Cyber Resilience Act takes effect in September 2026. Without demonstrable quality assurance and SBOM standards, compliance becomes a problem.

QA Engineering instead of outsourcing — your team becomes the quality guarantor

Krafteq takes a fundamentally different approach from traditional QA outsourcing. We don't test for you — we empower your team to deliver quality sustainably. Our experienced QA engineers work directly in your sprints, build processes, and transfer knowledge. This creates competency, not dependency.

Restore release readiness and build sustainable test automation. We identify what blocks your releases and eliminate the root cause. Companies typically increase their release cadence from monthly to weekly — within 2-6 weeks. With Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium, we build maintainable structures instead of fragile scripts.

Embed QA as a team competency and deliver measurable results. No separate QA silo. Our engineers work side by side with your developers and establish quality assurance as an integral part of the development process. We measure progress using concrete KPIs — not by hours on the invoice.

From analysis to stable releases

Krafteq follows a proven approach that delivers immediately visible results at every phase. No PowerPoint project — but hands-on engineering in your team.

  1. QA Assessment and Gap Analysis

    We analyze your current test coverage, 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.

    Clear prioritization of the most critical testing gaps and an actionable plan.

  2. Test Strategy and Automation Setup

    Based on the analysis, we define a pragmatic test strategy: which tests at which level — unit, integration, E2E, performance. Simultaneously, we begin setting up test automation and integrate frameworks into your existing pipeline.

    Working test automation in your CI/CD pipeline with first automated test cases.

  3. Team Integration and Live Operations

    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. The actual knowledge transfer happens in this phase.

    Your team writes tests independently and uses the new tools in daily operations.

  4. Handover and Stabilization

    Your team gradually takes over full responsibility. We accompany the transition, verify process stability, and document everything essential. The end result is a QA process your team can independently operate and evolve.

    Self-sufficient, documented QA process in your team — with no dependency on external providers.

Capabilities that sustainably close testing gaps

Our QA engineers bring more than testing knowledge — they think production-first. Every capability aims to embed quality as a team competency, not to sell it as an external service.

Test Automation with Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium

E2E tests with the leading frameworks — aligned with your tech stack. Whether Java with Spring Boot, .NET with ASP.NET Core, or TypeScript with React: the automation fits your architecture and is maintainable long-term.

CI/CD-Integrated Quality Gates

Automated tests run on every commit in your pipeline. Quality gates in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins ensure that faulty code never reaches production.

API Testing and Load Testing

With REST Assured, Postman, and k6, we cover API contracts and performance bottlenecks. Gatling and JMeter are deployed when scalability under load needs testing.

Code Quality and Security Scanning

SonarQube analyzes your code for technical debt and security vulnerabilities. Snyk and Trivy scan dependencies and container images. This simultaneously helps you meet the requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

AI Testing and Guardrails

For software with AI components, we establish dedicated test strategies: validation of model outputs, bias detection, and automated regression tests for AI features.

Observability Integration

We connect your test data with your monitoring stack. Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry provide real-time insights into quality metrics. This lets you spot quality issues before your customers do.

Knowledge Transfer and Team Coaching

Every process step is documented and trained. Pair programming, code reviews, and structured handovers ensure your team owns the QA process independently. Alternatively, a dedicated Krafteq QA team handles ongoing quality assurance.

What our clients have achieved

Release blocker resolved: an enterprise client couldn't deploy for months. Krafteq established a QA process within four weeks and increased release cadence from monthly to weekly.
Output increased through better workflows: fewer regression bugs meant less rework. The time saved went directly into new features.
Outage rate reduced by over 80% through fault tolerance mechanisms and improved delivery processes within two weeks
Sustainable test automation built that grows with the software instead of breaking with every change

Proven quality improvements
