QA & Testing in depth

Inside our QA & Testing practice.

The long-form view of how we approach QA & Testing engagements.

QA at Redian is not a gate at the end of a sprint — it is a discipline wired into requirements, design, build and release. Our engineers pair with product and delivery teams to shape testable stories, define acceptance criteria, and build the automation, performance and security suites that keep a system honest as it grows. The work spans exploratory and scripted testing, manual and automated coverage, and risk-based test design that concentrates effort where defects actually hurt.

We test the applications we build and the ones our clients already run — core banking cutovers, policy admin migrations, CRM rollouts on Zoho and Salesforce, ERP go-lives on Odoo and MS Dynamics, and bespoke AI/ML pipelines. The goal is the same each time: catch the failures that matter before customers, auditors or regulators do.

What we cover

Functional and regression testing. Business-flow coverage across web, mobile and API layers, with regression suites that grow alongside the product. We use risk-based prioritisation so critical paths — payments, underwriting, claims FNOL, GL posting, KYC, disbursement — get the deepest coverage, not just the newest features.

Test automation. UI automation in Playwright, Selenium, Cypress and Appium; API automation in REST Assured, Postman/Newman and Karate; contract testing with Pact for microservice estates. We build page-object and screenplay patterns that survive UI churn, and we own the test data strategy so runs are deterministic across environments.

Performance and load testing. JMeter, Gatling, k6 and Locust for load, soak, stress and spike profiles. We baseline transactions per second on core banking rails, quote-to-bind flows, ecommerce checkouts and reporting queries, then tune JVM, DB, cache and network layers with the engineering team until the SLAs hold under peak.

Security and penetration testing. OWASP ASVS-aligned assessments, SAST/DAST integration (SonarQube, Snyk, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite), dependency and container scanning, and targeted pen tests before major releases. For BFSI clients we align with RBI cyber-security guidelines, IRDAI information & cyber-security controls, PCI DSS, and where applicable SAMA, CBK and NAICOM circulars.

Accessibility and usability. WCAG 2.1 AA conformance testing using axe, Lighthouse and manual assistive-technology checks (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver). This matters for public-sector, banking and insurance portals where accessibility is regulated, not optional.

Data and integration testing. ETL validation, reconciliation between source and target systems in migrations, event-driven test harnesses for Kafka and RabbitMQ, and end-to-end checks across integration layers built on MuleSoft, Boomi, Zoho Flow or custom middleware.

Where QA fits in our delivery

On CRM & ERP implementation projects, our testers work inside the functional stream from blueprint onward — defining UAT scripts against process flows, validating configuration against requirement traceability, and building automated smoke suites that survive quarterly platform updates from Zoho, Odoo, Salesforce or Microsoft.

On BFSI engagements — core banking, lending, payments, policy administration, claims and reinsurance — QA carries additional weight. We build parallel-run harnesses for migrations, reconcile ledgers down to the paisa or cent, verify interest accrual and IFRS 9 / IFRS 17 calculations, and stress the batch windows that regulators inspect. Test evidence is packaged for internal audit and for regulators such as the RBI, IRDAI, CBK, IRA, FCA and NAICOM.

On product engineering and AI/ML work, we cover model behaviour as well as code — drift checks, bias tests, prompt-injection and jailbreak testing for LLM features, and evaluation harnesses that grade model outputs against a curated ground-truth set on every build.

What we deliver

  • A test strategy tied to your architecture and risk profile, not a generic template.
  • Traceability from requirement to test case to defect to release note — the audit trail regulators and internal audit actually ask for.
  • Automation frameworks you own: source in your repo, runs in your CI (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins), dashboards in Allure, ReportPortal or your existing tooling.
  • Performance baselines with tuning recommendations, not just red-yellow-green charts.
  • Security findings triaged by exploitability and business impact, with remediation guidance and retest evidence.
  • A defect economics view — where defects originate, where they leak, and where to invest to shift left.

How we engage

Most clients start with a QA maturity assessment or a targeted engagement — a release under pressure, a migration that needs a parallel-run harness, or an automation debt clean-up. From there we typically move into embedded squads where Redian QA engineers sit inside your delivery teams, or a managed testing model where we run the function end-to-end against agreed SLAs.

For teams that need capacity rather than a full practice, IT staff augmentation lets you place Redian SDETs, performance engineers and security testers directly into your reporting line, with our delivery leads keeping quality and continuity.

Why Redian

We are CMMI Level 3 appraised and ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, so the process rigour behind QA — traceability, defect governance, environment control, evidence retention — is already in place. We have shipped tested, regulated software for banks, insurers, NBFCs and public-sector clients across India, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nigeria, South Sudan, Cameroon, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, USA, Canada and Australia. Our engineers hold ISTQB, CSTE, OSCP, CEH and cloud-provider certifications, and our practice leads have run QA for core banking, policy admin and large ERP go-lives where the cost of a missed defect is measured in regulatory findings, not story points.

Why Redian for QA & Testing

What makes our QA & Testing practice different.

Independent reasons clients pick us over freelancers, agencies and large consultancies.

  • Multi-discipline depth

    Functional, automation, performance, security, accessibility — all in one practice. Most QA vendors specialise in one or two.

  • CI/CD-native

    We build test infrastructure that runs on every PR — not nightly batches that nobody reads in the morning.

  • Performance budgets in spec

    INP, p95, error rate budgets enforced in CI. Releases that break the budget don't ship.

  • Build + QA continuity

    Most of our QA engagements are alongside our build practices. Test infrastructure built once, operated continuously.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you wanted to ask before the call.

Don't see your question? Ask us directly →

Should we have dedicated QA engineers or developer-tested code?

Both. Developers should write unit and integration tests. Dedicated QA engineers focus on automation infrastructure, exploratory testing, edge cases, performance, security and accessibility. They're complementary, not substitutes.

How much test automation should we have?

Aim for the test pyramid: many fast unit tests, fewer integration tests, even fewer end-to-end tests. Common mistake is too many slow E2E tests; another common mistake is no E2E tests at all. We build the pyramid that fits your risk profile.

Playwright vs Cypress vs Selenium?

Playwright for new projects (fast, modern, cross-browser including WebKit). Cypress for existing Cypress projects (don't migrate without reason). Selenium when enterprise standards require it. We default to Playwright in 2026.

Can you do performance and security testing too?

Yes — multi-discipline is our point. k6 for load testing, JMeter for legacy, Artillery for serverless. OWASP ZAP for automated security scans, manual pen-testing with Burp Suite. Plus dependency scanning and OWASP MASVS for mobile.

Do you test for accessibility (WCAG)?

Yes — axe-core automated checks in CI, manual WCAG 2.1 AA audits, screen-reader testing, keyboard navigation. Required for public-sector and increasingly required for BFSI and healthcare.
