Question 1

What types of applications do you test?

Accepted Answer

We test web applications (SPAs, e-commerce, SaaS), native and cross-platform mobile apps (iOS and Android), RESTful and GraphQL APIs, and desktop software. We cover all major browsers and operating systems and are stack-agnostic.

Question 2

How quickly can you start testing my application?

Accepted Answer

Most engagements kick off within 2-3 business days of signing. The first week covers onboarding and environment setup. Actual testing begins in week one.

Question 3

What's included in the free Testing Health Check?

Accepted Answer

A structured 20-minute diagnostic conversation. You leave with 2-3 honest verbal observations about your biggest testing risks. No prep required, no sales pitch, no written deliverable.

Question 4

What is the paid SQA Audit?

Accepted Answer

A scoped engagement following the Health Check when deeper analysis makes sense. Deliverables include a written report and a 30-minute findings walkthrough. Pricing is discussed on the call.

Question 5

Do you provide test automation for existing manual tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We evaluate which existing manual test cases are good candidates for automation and convert them into maintainable automated scripts, integrated into your CI/CD pipeline.

Question 6

What tools do you use for test automation?

Accepted Answer

We work with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Jest, and Vitest for web, Detox for mobile, and Postman, REST Assured, and k6 for API testing. Tool selection is driven by your stack, not our preferences.

Question 7

How is working with Testing Joy different from hiring an in-house SQA engineer?

Accepted Answer

With Testing Joy you get a senior SQA professional embedded in your workflow within days, without the overhead of salary, benefits, or equipment. You also get a range of skills (manual, automation, performance, accessibility) rather than one generalist's bandwidth.

Question 8

How do you ensure the quality of your testing?

Accepted Answer

Every bug report includes reproduction steps, severity classification, environment details, and screenshots or video. Our SQA analysts are senior professionals who have shipped with real product teams.

Question 9

What does a typical engagement look like?

Accepted Answer

Week one is onboarding. From week two, active testing is underway with regular status updates. Bugs are filed as they're found, and you get a written summary at the end of each sprint or milestone.

Question 10

Can you work with our existing development workflow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We integrate with GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Slack, and most CI/CD pipelines including GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and Jenkins.

Question 11

Do you offer ongoing retainer engagements or project-based work?

Accepted Answer

Both. Monthly packages start at $5,499/mo for manual testing. We also take on defined-scope projects such as a pre-launch regression pass or a one-time accessibility audit.
