Software Development Review from Michael S.
We selected Azumo to develop our software. We transitioned from another development company, so Azumo was initially responsible for migrating our existing code and environments. We are currently still working with Azumo as our nearshore software development team on adding new items to our software.

Mica Palmer Chief of Staff at Liquified

Mobile App Development Review from Mica Palmer
They helped us solve issues. They designed an app for us.High level/quality of client attention and interaction. All communications, information exchages, and client servicing were well-conceived and well-executed. They kept me on my toes to provide them the information they needed from me. They kept excited about the project and, because of that, kept me optimistic and driving toward the success of my project.The culture of coaching and support they provide start-ups. They don't sleep well unless they know you have all the tools and chops to obtain success. I've never seen any other company provide such rich and valuable deliverables along with ingenious and compassionate client support. Kodevent is a beacon of know-how and wisdom in an otherwise dark ocean for any start-up that is hoping for success.

eCommerce Development Review from Devul Nahar
We needed help designing the Frontend pages on my website. Also some design work. Everyday I would assign my Frontend developer some key tasks and deliverables. He would report back to me. An example of key deliverable he did was help design the logic of flow of grading when we have multiple types of questions. They were quick to respond and professional. They had great professionalism, good talent, and good support.

WooCommerce Review from Amanda Viviano
We hired Qolos to build our local florist shop's website on WordPress and WooCommerce, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the start, they took the time to understand our business and created a site that's not only beautiful but easy for our customers to browse and shop.The WooCommerce setup was seamless, our online ordering works exactly the way we needed it to. But what really sets Qolos apart is their ongoing monthly maintenance. We never have to worry about updates, security, or technical issues because they stay on top of everything. Any time we've had a question or a small change request, they've been responsive and professional.As a small local business, it means a lot to work with a team that genuinely cares about keeping our site running smoothly. Qolos has been a true partner, not just a vendor. Highly recommend them to any local business looking for reliable web design and maintenance!

Web Development Review from Sanjay Singh
I kept getting negative reviews about my app for technical glitches, heating issues, functionality, loading time, crashing, and more bugs. So, I reached out to QOLOS after going through 2-3 renowned review platforms. I explained my app issue to the team, and they did tremendous work with their mobile testing solutions. Also, I wanted to build a website for my app. They created a feature-rich and seamless website.

Shopify Review from Sarah Nesheim
Working with QOLOS was the best decision I have made in regards to scaling my business. They are professional, so creative, they communicate every step of the way and their pricing is fair for the highest quality work. The designer of our logo and website did it well and I am so impressed and proud of the final product! the designer listened and knew exactly what I wanted which made the process so simple. Seriously could not recommend QOLOS more!

Software Development Review from Harshal Chhajed
They have highly skilled support staff for faster resolution which leads to customer satisfaction. Also, it has many features including IoT and blockchain apart from regular software development. If there are any changes in the scope of the project at a later stage, it can prove quite costly and also difficult to accommodate last-minute client-side scripting changes. They are versatile, cost-effective, and offer quick customer support. They offer a very customized software development tool where business needs can be addressed. It is very cost-optimized and hence can help generate good returns for business investment.

Translation Services Review from Abhit
They provide consulting services for a healthcare service provider. Sidebench contributed their expertise to a comprehensive mobile application to make sure it would pass Apple Store requirements. Thanks to Sidebench`s input, the application launched on the Apple Store after the first submission. Sidebench`s response times were quick, and they were willing to accommodate a unique working arrangement. The relationship that we had was probably unique; most companies would push to do the development themselves. We only needed Sidebench`s know-how, and they were willing to accommodate us.

denny stearns's Review Sourced from Google
I bought the Carmela the other day. It is smoky, with burnt Carmel, marshmallow taste and smell. This is not my type of whiskey. I like smoke but there was something that disagreed with me. So this line is not my cup of... whiskey. Looking forward to trying their Bourbon and will update my tasting experience. The R6 distillery reached out to me which shows they care about their product. That goes far with me.Update... I have now tasted the R6 Distillery Bourbon Whiskey. Very pleasant to the nose with light vanilla. Taste is smooth and not sharp. The taste is in my wheelhouse of Bourbons. Sweet, smooth vanilla, light Carmel. I hear you can get a bottle at COSTCO and i saw one on the shelf at the local convenience store in Gundo. I would recommend it.

Victor Alpha's Review Sourced from Google
Great speakeasy, fine spirits, nice atmosphere. Drawback is licensing restrictions - only one cocktail or 1.5 oz total in spirits. Beers are unlimited. Another flaw is when a private event is scheduled, no notice is posted on the website, meaning if you’re traveling here from afar, you will have to travel right back spiritless and hopless.Edit: When I checked the website I did not see the notice about the private event. If you say it was posted, then it was my fault for not being thorough. Also, the state did not want your missing stars and I have too many myself. They are all yours. And the gin was delicious. Cheers!

What services does a software testing company provide for your business in the United States?
They provide a comprehensive range of services designed to validate and improve software quality through systematic evaluation and advanced tooling.
Core testing services include:
Quality assurance and testing strategy: Audits software and defines testing scope, priorities, coverage, approach, and reporting.
Functional testing: Verifies that software features work according to specified business and functional requirements.
Regression testing: Detects unintended issues introduced by system changes and releases.
Performance and load testing: Measures the application’s reliability and responsiveness during peak usage.
Security testing: Identifies and resolves security vulnerabilities and tests against compliance and governance requirements.
Usability testing: Assesses user experience, interface intuitiveness, and overall accessibility of the solution.
Integration and API testing: Validates how different system components and third-party services work together.
In addition to these services, software testing companies implement a mix of manual (often for exploratory and user experience-focused scenarios) and automated (repeatable checks throughout the development cycle for speed and consistency) testing models.
How much does software testing cost?
Software testing costs about 15%-25% of the development costs or 23% of the IT budget. In terms of hourly rates, US software testing companies charge an average of $100-$250 per hour, with more complex systems or specialized tests going beyond $300/hour.
The final rate will depend on solution complexity, testing coverage, quality requirements, project timeline, and current technical debt.
Here’s how much software testing costs as a percentage of the software development budget:
Critical systems and highly regulated industries: 40%-50%
Enterprise applications: 25%-35%
Consumer-facing applications: 15%-25%
Mobile applications: 20%-30%
In practice, basic one-time testing projects, such as a website penetration test, cost approximately $5,000-$10,000.
On the other hand, continuously evolving software solutions that require regular comprehensive testing can fetch between $20,000 and $70,000+ per month.
Are there any additional costs to consider when working with US software testing agencies?
Beyond project scope, complexity, and timeline, these are additional costs to consider when working with software testing agencies in the USA:
Tooling and platform fees: Software license or subscription fees for device farms, performance testing platforms, and security scanning tools may be billed separately from the company’s overall rates.
Device/browser lab coverage: For tests that require broad compatibility coverage, costs can increase based on access to real devices, operating system versions, and browsers.
Scope growth: New testing requirements, additional integrations, new platforms (mobile/web), or expanding acceptance criteria often require a change order.
Additional test cycles: Extra rounds of re-testing and regression tests beyond what’s defined in the service level agreement (SLA) incur additional costs.
Defect remediation effort: Fixing defects is often outside the testing scope and is billed as an additional engineering or development fee.
Compliance and security deliverables: If you require additional formal evidence (e.g., audit artefacts and traceability) or expanded security testing, expect incremental charges.
How long does software testing usually take?
On average, software testing takes around 20%-40% of the total software development time. However, the final timeline will depend on infrastructure complexity, test scope and methodology, and quality requirements.
Here’s an approximate software testing timeframe based on the typical software project schedules:
Full Release Schedule
Software Testing Timeframe
Small software builds (e.g., Landing platforms)
12-24 weeks
2-4 weeks
Mid-sized builds (e.g., Fully customized mobile apps)
16-40 weeks
3-4 months
Large builds (e.g., Multi-module platforms)
36-144 weeks
6-12 months
Notably, software testing is often integrated into the software development lifecycle (SDLC). As such, it’s common to see QA and testing done in 1-2-week sprints rather than a separate stage altogether.
What industries do US software testing firms typically work with?
US software testing providers work with a wide range of industries, as all digital solutions need to be tested in some capacity. However, these are the sectors that quality assurance (QA) and testing experts work in based on the State of Testing Report 2025:
Tech: 35.2%
Finance and insurance: 16.9%
Others: 12.7%
Healthcare: 10.9%
Business and information: 4.5%
Retail: 4.1%
Marketing: 3.7%
Transportation: 3%
Government: 3%
Gaming: 2.6%
Education: 1.9%
