Manual testing
Manual testing across browsers, devices, and the edge cases nobody documented.
SERVICES
Software Testing & QA Services in the USA
Independent testing for teams who need to know what breaks before their customers find it — on your codebase, your release schedule, your terms.
- A written test strategy before anyone writes a test case
- Bugs reported with reproduction steps engineers can follow
- Your test suite, in your repository, from day one

Why Choose Softonoma for Software Testing
Every team goes blind to its own product. Engineers test the paths they built, in the order they built them. Independent testers arrive without that map, which is exactly why they find the things that reach production.
Software Testing Services We Provide
Four kinds of testing work, from a one-off release check to a permanent QA function.
Test automation
Automated regression suites that run on every build instead of every quarter
Performance testing
Performance and load testing that finds the ceiling before your traffic does.
Security testing
Security testing for applications handling payments, health records, or personal data.
What is software testing?
What is software testing?
Software testing is the work of finding out what a product actually does, as opposed to what it was meant to do. That includes functional checks, but the value sits in the harder parts — behavior under load, on slow connections, with unexpected input, and in the states nobody thought to design for.
Why You Need Independent QA Testing
Developers testing their own work is necessary and insufficient. They test the paths they built, in the order they built them, with the assumptions they held while building. An independent tester arrives with none of that context, which is why they take the route your users will take.
Manual vs Automated Testing: What to Automate
Automate the tests you'll run hundreds of times. Test manually for anything requiring judgment — whether a flow makes sense, whether an error message helps, whether a layout survives real content. Automating exploratory testing produces expensive scripts that pass while the product fails.
Software Testing Tools and Frameworks
Playwright and Cypress for browser automation, Jest and PyTest at the unit level, k6 for load, and Appium for mobile. Reports land wherever your team already works, and the suites run in your pipeline rather than on our machines.
How Long QA Testing Takes
A first release check runs one to two weeks. Building an automated regression suite from nothing takes four to eight, depending on how much of the product needs coverage. Ongoing QA runs alongside your sprints.
How we work with your engineers
We work with your engineers, not around them — whether that's your own team or ours on a custom build. Bugs come with reproduction steps, environment details, and severity that reflects business impact rather than how annoying it was to find.

How a product nobody has tested properly becomes one you can release with a straight face.
01
Discovery
We learn the product, the users, and what failure would actually cost you.
02
Planning
A written test strategy — what gets automated, what stays manual, what's out of scope.
03
Design
Test cases written and reviewed with your team before execution starts.
04
Execution
Testing runs each sprint, with results your engineers can act on the same day.

Software Testing FAQs
Still have questions?
Talk to an engineerCan you work with our existing test suite?
Yes — and it's the most common way engagements start. We audit what exists, identify the highest-risk gaps, and build coverage from there rather than starting over.
What should we actually be testing?
The tests you run repeatedly and the paths that would hurt most if they broke. Login, checkout, and payment flows before anything cosmetic. Coverage percentage is a poor target on its own.
Who owns the tests you write?
Everything. Test code, test data, and documentation live in your repository from the first sprint, and the suites run in your pipeline so they keep working after we leave.
Does automation replace manual testing?
Not on its own. Automation catches regressions in known paths. It can't tell you a flow is confusing or an error message is useless, which is what manual testing is for.
Can you test for compliance requirements?
We test against what the regulation requires — encryption, access control, audit trails, data handling. We're not an auditor and don't issue certifications, and we'll tell you when you need one.
