Managed quality engineering
Dedicated QA Teams
A QA team built around your product: manual testers, automation engineers and a QA lead who joins your standups, works in your Jira and stays on your product for years. You decide the size and the skills. We hire, ramp and run it. This is what QASource was founded to do in 2002, and what most of our clients buy.
What You Are Actually Buying
-
A Dedicated Team
You tell us the shape: how many engineers, which skills, which time zones. We hire, ramp, and run it. You get the same people for years, not a rotating bench.
-
The Same Team, Accelerated
QASIP generates test design, automation, and maintenance; our engineers verify it before anything reaches your repository. A team of six covers what six engineers alone could not. QASIP is not sold separately. It comes with the team.
-
An Outcome, Priced as One
Where the work has a defined finish, such as a framework migration or a coverage target, we price the result rather than the time.
Most engagements begin with the first and move toward the third as we learn your product. See how the pricing model works. →
Shape the Team
Most teams start at three to four people and grow from there. Below three, one person becomes the bottleneck.
- QA Lead
Your single point of contact. Owns test strategy, reporting and the go/no-go call on each release. - Manual and Exploratory Testers
Learn your product the way your users use it. Find what scripts miss. - Automation Engineers
Build and maintain suites in your framework: Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Appium. - API and Integration Testers
Contract and integration tests for services that change independently. - Performance and Security Specialists
Added for a release or a phase, then rolled off.
How It Runs
-
Before You Start
Interview your QA lead before the engagement begins. If someone isn't the right fit at any point, we replace them.
-
First Week
Your team starts within a week of signing; knowledge transfer and access happen in that first week.
-
Every Day
Your team joins your standups and works in your tools: Jira, Slack or Teams, your repository, your CI.
-
Every Week and Month
Daily status from the lead. Weekly and monthly reviews with a QASource engineering director.
-
When Things Change
Add engineers for a release or a backlog; scale back when it passes, with 45 days' notice.
-
When Someone Is Out
Backup cover for leave and holidays at no extra cost.
Where and When Your Team Works
Engineers in India and Mexico, with leadership in the United States and Canada. All employees, no contractors.
- India: Standard shift, or an evening shift that overlaps your morning.
- Mexico: Near-full overlap with US working hours.
Terms
- Leave with 45 days' notice. No cause required.
- The same people, dedicated to your product, not shared with other clients.
- Every test and script is committed to your repository and owned by you. No tool license. No lock-in.
- Billed monthly. See what a team costs →
What It Is
A quality engineering organization that operates inside your development process: your repos, your pipeline, and your release cadence. We take ownership of regression, automation, performance, security, mobile, and API validation and stay accountable for the confidence you have at release.
Some clients hand us the whole function. Others need four more engineers on a team they already run. It is the same engagement either way: our people, inside your process, with one lead accountable for what reaches production.
What You Get
- A named engineering director accountable for the engagement, not an account manager
- US-based leadership embedded in the relationship — the structure QASource was founded on, and older than the company
- Automation assets committed to your repository, in your framework and language, owned by you
- Validation that runs in your CI/CD on every change, with critical-path results in minutes
- A written release finding on each release candidate: validated, not validated, residual risk
- Add engineers when a release or backlog demands it, and scale back when it passes
- A team that is likely to still be your team in five years
What We Cover
- Manual and exploratory testing by people who learn your product and stay on it
- Functional and regression across web, mobile, and desktop, partitioned by risk
- Test automation in your stack: Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or what you already run
- API and integration validation, including contract tests for services that change independently
- Performance and load against real release traffic profiles
- Security testing integrated into the release gate rather than an annual event
- Platform-specific validation for Salesforce, cloud-native and mobile, against 500+ device configurations
Why So Many of These Engagements Last a Decade
A product is never finished. Features get added, defects get fixed, the platform underneath changes, and every one of those changes can break something a customer relies on. A quality function isn't a project with an end date; it is a permanent part of how the product gets built.
That is the reason more than 30% of our clients have been with us for over ten years, and one for twenty. We are not brought in at the end to check the work. We are inside the development process while the product is being made, which is where validation is worth the most.
Our clients don't renew because switching is painful. They renew because we are part of how their software gets built.
Beyond Quality Engineering
About 40% of what QASource does today is development, release engineering, DevOps, and in some cases whole products. Not one of those engagements started that way — every client came to us for quality first and asked us to build only after we had been inside their engineering process long enough to know how we work.
We think that is the right order, and we don't intend to change it. Why a QA company does engineering work →
If You Need One Part of It
Most clients hand over the function. Some arrive needing one piece of it first, and that is a reasonable place to start.

What Buyers Ask Us
What does a team cost?
A team of three to four engineers runs $150,000 to $200,000 a year, billed monthly. See /pricing.

Yes. You interview your QA lead before the engagement starts, and we replace anyone who isn't the right fit.
How fast can you start?
Typically within a week of signing.
How much overlap with our hours?
Mexico gives near-full US overlap. India offers a standard shift or an evening shift that overlaps your morning.
Can we get out?
