SOFTWARE TESTING AND QUALITY ENGINEERING, SINCE 2002

There Is No Longer a Gap Between Writing Software and Shipping It.

QASource gives engineering leaders confidence in what they ship—whether the software was written by people, generated by AI, or the AI itself is the product.

Two-year releases became weekly, then daily, then hourly, and now change reaches customers as soon as it is finished—with much of it written by AI, and more of it deciding things on its own. QASource gives organizations confidence in the software and AI systems they put into the world and has rebuilt how it does that every time the ground moved.

Time between releases, 2002 to today

How Software Release Frequency Has Accelerated Since 2002 - QASourceQASource chart of time between software releases from 2002 to today, showing the shift from infrequent releases to rapid, continuous deployment. 2 years 1 year 1 month 1 week 1 day 1 hour 2002 Today 24 months 12 months 3 months Weekly Daily Hourly Real time
The vertical axis is compressed so that two years and one hour fit on the same chart. It shows how the interval between enterprise software releases has compressed across the industry over two decades. The final step is dashed because there is no longer an interval to measure: Change ships when it is done.

Three things we're accountable for

What you are actually buying: a dedicated team you shape and keep for years, not a rotating bench. Accelerated by QASIP, which comes with the team, so a team of six covers what six engineers alone could not, and defined-finish work is priced as one outcome.

A Quality Function You Don’t Have To Build.

We build it, staff it, run it, and own the outcome. Release confidence without a hiring plan, a tooling budget, or a management layer. This is what QASource was founded to do and what most of our clients buy.

Validation That Keeps Pace With AI-Generated Code.

Test design, automation, and maintenance generated by the QASource Intelligent Platform (QASIP) and verified by engineers before anything enters your suite. Sized to your change volume rather than your headcount plan.

AI for QA →

Independent Evidence on the AI You’re Shipping.

Agents that take actions, models inside products, and systems whose behavior changes after release—we assess all of it, and we never assess what we built. Where judgment is the thing being tested, trained people do the judging.

AI Assurance →

What We Won’t Do

We Don't Compete on Price

Our rates are our rates. Paying less for the people who verify your software is a decision that surfaces later, in production, usually in front of a customer. If price is the deciding factor, there are firms that will win on it.

We Don't Validate What We Build

AI Assurance is a separate practice with no stake in a system passing. The team that built an agent is the wrong team to tell you it's safe to ship—not through carelessness, but because the failures live in what nobody thought to ask.

We Don't Sell People You Have To Manage

You can buy a dedicated team, and most of our clients do. What you are not taking on is the work of running it—hiring, ramping, covering attrition, keeping the automation alive as the product moves. That stays with us.

Why your team stays your team

The People on Your Account Have Been Here Longer Than Most Vendor Relationships Last.

Vendor teams often turn over quickly. Ours don't. More than a hundred of our engineers have been with QASource for over a decade, and the senior bench goes back almost to the founding.

That is not a culture claim. It is the reason the person who knows your product has often known it longer than your own engineers have.

Twenty-Four years, more than 200 clients, and for twenty of them no sales team at all.

How We Grew

Engineering leaders told other engineering leaders and brought us with them when they changed jobs. Around 40% of new clients still arrive by referral, customer retention is 94%, and seventeen clients have put their names to public reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5.
