BetterQA

What is independent QA and why does it matter?

A chef shouldn't certify his own dish. Here's a real example: a QA engineer on one of our client's in-house teams found a bug. The project manager told him to close it because "it makes the development team look bad." Three weeks later, the product owner discovered the exact same bug in production - unfixed. That's what happens when QA reports to the same people who write the code. We're a separate company. Our only job is telling you what's actually broken.

What tools does BetterQA build?

Seven products, all built by our engineers. Five are included with QA services: BugBoard for AI-assisted test generation. Flows for self-healing automation. Auditi for accessibility compliance. Our Security Toolkit with 30+ scanners. BetterFlow to prove 8 hours = 8 hours worked. We also built Hireo (recruitment) and JRNY (sales) for our own operations. All QA tools are included - not sold separately.

How does AI fit into your testing process?

Tudor's take: AI will replace development before it replaces QA. Vibe coding means features that took 3 months now take 3 hours - and produce 10x the bugs. Someone still needs to validate the output. We use AI heavily in our tools: BugBoard generates test cases from screenshots in 30 seconds (used to take a week manually), our Security Toolkit orchestrates 30+ scanners, Flows self-heals broken automation. But every AI output gets checked by a human before it ships. The new frontier is prompt injection testing - making sure your AI agents don't leak credit card numbers when someone asks cleverl

How do you embed into our development team?

Our engineers join your standups, your Slack channels, your Jira boards. They review requirements before code is written - not after. While your developers write features, our QA engineers write test cases in parallel. When a feature is done, the tests are already waiting. This shift-left approach catches bugs at the cheapest stage - requirements - instead of the most expensive stage - production.

What certifications does BetterQA hold?

ISO 27001:2022 (Information Security), ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental), ISO 13485:2016 (Medical Devices). We're a NATO NCIA Basic Order Agreement holder (NCAGE: 1JGAL), Avetta certified, NIS2 compliant, and ranked in the Clutch 500 (Top 500 B2B Companies Globally). We also built NIS2 Manager - our own compliance platform.

What sets you apart from other QA companies?

We build our own tools - five of them, included with every engagement. Most QA companies use Jira and Selenium and call it a day. We built BugBoard, Flows, Auditi, Security Toolkit, and BetterFlow because nothing on the market worked the way we needed it to. Second, same engineers stay on your project long-term. Domain knowledge compounds - a QA engineer on your project for 6 months catches things a new hire never would. We had a client in Nice who swapped QA engineers several times over 6 months as requirements changed. With us that's a contract adjustment, not a hire/fire cycle. Third, we of

How does pricing work?

You pay for QA engineers. Five tools come included - BugBoard, Flows, Auditi, Security Toolkit, and BetterFlow. No per-seat licenses, no add-on fees. Engagements typically start with 1-2 engineers and scale from there. We don't do one-off test runs - we embed into your team for ongoing quality. Monthly retainer, no long-term contracts required.

What causes software defects?

The biggest cause is ambiguous requirements - when developers build what they think was asked instead of what was actually needed. Time pressure is second - rushed code means skipped edge cases. Third is integration complexity - Feature A works, Feature B works, but A+B together breaks. That's why our shift-left approach starts with requirements review. The cheapest bug is the one you never build.
