QA that goes beyond the happy path

Production-grade QA — functional, automation, performance, security and accessibility testing. Integrated into CI/CD pipelines, not bolted on as a pre-launch sprint.

What we deliver

The capabilities our QA & Testing engineers ship.

Production patterns from real engagements — not a stack-marketing checklist.

  • 01

    Functional testing

    Exploratory + scripted, manual + automated. Risk-based test design, edge-case coverage, regression suites.

  • 02

    Test automation

    Playwright (default), Cypress (legacy), Detox (mobile React Native), Appium (cross-platform mobile), Selenium (where required).

  • 03

    API & contract testing

    Postman/Newman for functional API tests, Pact for contract tests between services, schema validation in CI.

  • 04

    Performance testing

    k6, JMeter, Artillery — load, stress, spike, soak. Performance budgets enforced in CI.

  • 05

    Security testing

    OWASP ZAP automated scans, Burp Suite manual pen-testing, dependency scanning (Snyk, Dependabot), OWASP MASVS for mobile.

  • 06

    Accessibility testing

    axe-core automated checks in CI, manual WCAG 2.1 AA audits, screen-reader testing, keyboard-navigation coverage.

Who hires us for QA & Testing

Where this stack fits best.

We've seen the patterns — match yours against the list to find the closest fit to your situation.

  • BFSI

    Banks, insurers, lenders where defects in production have real cost. Functional + performance + security + accessibility all required.

  • Scale-ups before Series B

    Companies preparing for Series B due-diligence where security audits and SOC 2 readiness are required.

  • Enterprise IT

    Large enterprises with QA centres of excellence needing additional automation/performance/security capacity.

  • Regulated industries

    Healthcare, government, financial services where accessibility and security testing are non-negotiable.

  • QA-light teams

    Engineering-heavy teams without dedicated QA needing test infrastructure built and operated.

How we engage

From brief to production.

Transparent, milestone-driven, with clear owners and timeframes at every stage.

  1. 01Week 1

    Audit & strategy

    Current QA practice audit, test coverage analysis, risk-based test design, target test pyramid.

  2. 02Weeks 2–4

    Foundation

    Test framework setup (Playwright/Cypress), CI integration, performance baseline, security scan integration.

  3. 03Weeks 4–8

    Coverage build

    Functional automation, API tests, contract tests. Coverage rises sprint-by-sprint.

  4. 04Ongoing

    Continuous QA

    Tests run on every PR. Quarterly review of coverage, performance trends, security posture.

QA & Testing in depth

Inside our QA & Testing practice.

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

QA as discipline, not phase

Most teams treat QA as a pre-launch sprint. We treat it as a discipline integrated into every sprint — functional, regression, automation, performance, security and accessibility, all wired into CI/CD from day one.

What we deliver

  • Functional testing — exploratory + scripted, manual + automated
  • Test automation — Playwright, Cypress, Detox (mobile), Selenium (legacy)
  • API testing — Postman/Newman, contract tests with Pact
  • Performance testing — k6, JMeter, Artillery
  • Security testing — OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, manual pen-testing
  • Accessibility testing — axe-core, manual WCAG audits
  • Mobile testing — BrowserStack, real-device labs

How we engage

Standalone QA pods (3–8 testers), embedded QA on a build engagement, or QA-as-a-service for ongoing release coverage. Most clients want a mix.

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.
