01Overview
Commission the testing your product needs
Our software QA services support an ongoing QA team or a scoped testing cycle for your product. We agree the coverage and release criteria with you, then define the environments, test data and collaboration needed to run the selected checks.
- Product checks alongside developmentIndependent product testing complements the checks your developers own. We agree what QA examines and how the findings reach the people fixing defects and deciding on release.
- Manual and automated from one set of casesWe design the selected manual and automated checks from a documented case library. Your team reviews the expected behavior and the coverage proposed for the product.
- Your tracker, your pipeline, your environmentsWe agree tracker access, environments and compatible continuous integration (CI), the build pipeline that runs automated checks. Reporting and execution triggers are defined for your scope.
- The rest of the quality clusterTest automation engineers the suite; a QA audit assesses the quality process. AI QA and evals evaluates model and agent output.

Clarify the testing assignment
Discuss the quality work you want to commission. Test automation builds or improves the suite; a QA audit provides an independent process assessment. Selected testing can complement either.
Talk it throughDefine a focused testing scope
Identify the product behavior or release behind your answer. We can agree a scoped testing cycle around the checks and evidence that decision needs.
Talk it throughAgree the plan and coverage
Review the selected checks against product priorities and expected behavior. The test plan records the environments, cases and reporting needed to execute that scope.
Book a discovery callSet the QA responsibility split
Define what your developers and existing testers retain, and what unicrew will run. That determines the testing assignment and how results reach your release owner.
Book a discovery callPlan testing and handover together
Scope the testing work alongside access, reporting and handover responsibilities. Choose whether the engagement supports continuing releases or a defined release cycle.
Talk about the teamRegression testing protects what already works, and experience-based testing finds what scripts miss. We plan both from the first sprint, so every release is checked both ways before it reaches your users.

Types of software testing we cover
We select the testing coverage around your product priorities and release criteria. The plan defines which checks to run and the evidence needed from each.
- Functional testing services
Functional testing
Spec and acceptance criteriaWe check selected functions against their specification and acceptance criteria. Cases use manual execution where judgment matters and automation for repeatable behavior.
- Regression testing services
Regression testing
A maintained suiteRegression testing checks that existing behavior still works after a change. We run the agreed cases and report their results, with suite maintenance defined for the engagement.
- Automated testing services
Test automation
JavaScript or TypeScriptWe run the automated cases selected in the test plan. Our independent real estate QA work used TestCafe with a tailored Test Cases System. When the main purchase is engineering the suite, test automation defines that scope.
- Performance and load testing services
Performance and load testing
Speed, scalability, stabilityWe run selected performance, load and stress scenarios against an agreed workload. Our commerce integration QA included automation, load and stress testing, with Test Plan and Test Cases for the client's own process.

How a QA engagement is shaped, and how you pay
Shape the engagement around how long you need unicrew to carry testing responsibility, from one defined assignment to continuing releases alongside development.
A dedicated QA team
Inside your deliveryAn ongoing QA team runs the agreed test plan alongside development. We define coordination, reporting and regression-suite responsibilities as the product and release priorities develop.
- Best when
- You ship continuously and have no independent QA of your own
- You pay
- Billed monthly, per team member
- Typical start
- Two to four weeks
Independent QA partner
No stake in the codeCommission independent testing alongside your development team. The agreement defines the test artifacts, release readout and handover, with any continuing testing scoped separately.
- Best when
- You want an impartial view of quality and a system your own team can run
- You pay
- Billed hourly, quoted per project
- Typical start
- Two to four weeks
Release hardening
Scoped cycleA scoped cycle for a launch, migration or selected release. We run the agreed checks and report defects and retest results for your release owner's decision.
- Best when
- One release carries unusual risk and you need it checked, not staffed
- You pay
- Outcome based, quoted per project
- Typical start
- Two to four weeks
Testing alongside your existing QA function
For an existing quality process, QA consulting and audit provides an assessment and prioritized roadmap. Test automation engineers the selected suite. Both can complement testing execution under their own scopes. There is no minimum engagement period.
08Industries
Industries we test in
Industry workflows shape the behavior your test cases need to examine. We agree the relevant product requirements and operational priorities before selecting coverage.
Logistics and transportation
Test the selected mobile, web and integration workflows in operational systems. In finished-vehicle logistics, vehicle inspection software connects field data with a central platform, making data consistency a useful focus for the agreed cases.
Hospitality and leisure
For booking and venue platforms, define the checks around availability, transaction behavior and expected demand. The test plan sets the selected journeys and workload.
Real estate
Independent QA can run alongside an in-house product team. Our real estate QA engagement included a tailored Test Cases System with automation and structured documentation for the client's testing process.
E-commerce
Our commerce integration QA included automation, load and stress testing around Shopify storefronts, Microsoft Dynamics ERP, an AWS product information system and custom middleware. Test Plan and Test Cases supported the client's own QA work.
Fintech
Select cases for payment and accounting integration behavior, including the data passed between systems. Product requirements and applicable controls define the expected results.

10Client voices
Our clients say
Artelogic’s work had a very positive impact on our team’s morale. As our development quality was improving, our engineers were more confident in what they were doing, allowing them to work faster and with more confidence. As a result, our releases took less time and were less stressful.
They’ve been helping us grow our platform together since the beginning, from a couple hundred companies to around 2,000. Artelogic has been front and center in this process.
Artelogic anticipates our needs and meets them before we even identify them. My team lead wants to keep both of Artelogic’s developers on the project until the product’s release. We have a backlog of 40 big projects, so I only see Artelogic’s involvement increasing.
All four websites have successfully passed internal reviews and are online. The accessibility scores are top-notch, and the user engagement is higher. They’ve delivered on time, been flexible when we needed adjustments, and made the entire collaboration feel smooth and supportive.
We were able to get the work completed in the expected time frame. There were little to no defects which was very nice because it allowed us to release and move on to our next project without having to back peddle. They were very accessible and took the time to understand our needs. They truly felt like part of the team.

12Questions
Software testing and QA services questions
Agree the selected coverage, reporting and release responsibilities before commissioning testing.
Full-cycle software testing and QA covers the planning, execution, retesting and handover selected in your test plan. It brings the agreed testing work and artifacts into one scope.
Software testing services check product behavior through selected functional testing and regression testing. Our software quality assurance services also define the cases, reporting and responsibilities around those checks. Manual execution and test automation are selected for the product; the plan records the coverage and acceptance criteria.
We quote the testing assignment after agreeing the coverage, environments and delivery responsibilities. The selected checks and execution cycles determine the work involved.
Billing follows the engagement model:
- Time and materials: billed hourly, quoted per project.
- Fixed price: outcome based, quoted per project.
- Team extension: billed monthly per team member.
There is no minimum engagement period.
We agree when the first testing cycle runs after reviewing the scope, test cases, environments and access needed to execute it.
Your product criteria and representative test data support planning and case design. Most engagements start within two to four weeks; the schedule for testing execution is agreed for your product and selected coverage.
Your release owner decides whether to ship using the agreed acceptance criteria, test results and open findings. We provide the evidence for that decision.
The test plan records selected coverage and expected behavior. Execution reports show the checks run and their results; defect reports provide reproduction steps and environment details. Retest records show the status of selected fixes. Reporting and responsibility for acting on findings are agreed before execution.
Yes. We agree compatibility, access and execution requirements for your existing tracker, build pipeline and environments when scoping the work.
The plan defines where defects are reported and when automated checks run. Our live waiver-platform work combined automated tests with a refactor, scalable architecture and release automation. Wider pipeline changes and testing responsibilities are selected for the engagement.
We select testing tools around the product stack, the checks in scope and compatible environments. The application under test and the tools used to check it are separate decisions.
On our independent real estate QA engagement, we used TestCafe with a tailored Test Cases System. Your toolchain, supported devices and pipeline integration are agreed for your own testing scope.
Both arrangements are possible. We agree which testing responsibilities unicrew takes on and which remain with your developers and existing QA team.
On an independent real estate QA engagement, development stayed in-house while we provided testing. A report-generation build included automated tests usable for the client's independent QA and UAT. Handover follows the terms of your agreement.
For assessment of an existing quality process, QA consulting and audit provides findings and a roadmap under a separate scope.
Compare selected coverage, usable test artifacts and the responsibility for reporting, retesting and release decisions.
With unicrew, the plan records the checks and environments, while reporting provides defect evidence and execution results for your release owner. Our engineering work includes independent QA alongside in-house development and tests delivered for a client's own acceptance checks. The proposal defines the QA assignment and the collaboration needed for your product.
unicrew has ISTQB-certified QA engineers and is ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, renewed through a multi-stage audit with Quay Audit UK. These are our people qualifications and organizational certifications.
