      Engineering Design Review from Jim Whelan

      Exceptional experience from initial design stage through production. Any concerns we had were addressed promptly by the team and inevitable hiccups (and there are always some) were handled professionally. I couldn't be more pleased with our project overall and recommend D[etekt] Design Group without hesitation. (Verified via email)

      Working with the D[etekt] team has been very enjoyable and exciting. To be able to sketch up my idea and have their team put it in my hand was awesome. They were very patient and worked hard to create my prototype. I would highly recommend using them for your product development needs. (Verified via email)

      Product Prototype Review from Chris Davis, PMP

      Anna and the Detekt team were better than expected. We were frustrated with the lack of design creativity from our previous partner. Anna and Detekt took the time to listen to what we wanted to accomplish, asked really good questions and came up with a few solutions. Once we settled on a design concept they iterated it with us very quickly, achieving a design we are very happy with. I would highly recommend them.

      Software Development Review from Daria Stolyar

      We hired Altoros engineers as an essential extension of our client-facing internal teams. This was a tough decision because our reputation as a brand depends on the overall efficiency of our processes and we needed to make sure all risks are mitigated when it comes to delivery. Altoros has not let us down. Together with Altorosians we successfully deployed a number of tough and technologically complex projects on time. So our collaboration is certainly set to continue.

      In my 30 years in the software business, I have never had as positive an experience with an outsourced development services provider as I have with Altoros. Each Altoros engineer we have worked with has been strong technically, estimated development times accurately, completed projects on time, and delivered code and projects with high quality. Beyond that, they have helped improve our thinking and approach with suggestions and ideas that were better than the spec of instructions we supplied.

      Mobile App Development Review from Mark Joy

      Dima S. responded to one of my job postings on Upwork for creating an audio-related application. He explained the estimated cost of developing such an app, and advised that it would be much more costly than I had anticipated. I was not familiar at all with the costs associated with developing apps, so his explanation was very helpful. He saved me money by going above and beyond to research existing apps that provided similar functionality to the requirements I was seeking. He also found instructions for using native Apple settings for audio that would solve my problem. The settings he found even allowed import of an audiogram that I had gotten at the audiologist for my specifc problem. Though he did not end up developing an app for me, Dima saved me a ton of money by spending his time to research possible existing solutions which I had not found during my own search. I would highly recommend Dima for his level of care for projects and his customers.

      WordPress Website Design Review from Anna Abdulova

      Working with CitrusDev was very comfortable and convenient. CitrusDev developed a website (WordPress) for me with the services I provide to my clients. Since I have a shortage of time, it was important that the team did not need my constant involvement in the process. After discussing all the details, we met a few times to decide on further actions and make corrections. The work format was convenient and clear. And most importantly, it was flexible. The team responded quickly when changes were needed and gave advice for better results. I am happy with our joint project and want to thank CitrusDev for their professionalism and ease of work. Thank you. And I recommend them.

      Flutter Development Review from Undisclosed

      The company has a salesman who overpromised, but once the project started, he was never found to address the underdeliver. Since the first brief, I made clear our products two main selling points. Two years after, I have had to learn some code to look under the hood and discover a half-baked and improvised "solution". Now, I ended up with an incomplete product that fails to deliver the two main functions I requested (and was promised). On top of that, there is a lack of order in terms of naming, cleanliness, and hierarchy. I cant recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Software Testing Companies

What services do software testing firms provide?

Software testing companies provide different testing services to identify errors, security risks, performance issues, and how the software behaves in real-life situations and across devices. As part of their software testing service, they also check if each feature works as expected, fix bugs, make improvements, and make sure new software development updates don’t break existing functions, so the software quality remains stable. 

Core services include: 

  • Functional testing  
  • Performance testing  
  • Security testing  
  • Usability testing  
  • Regression testing   
  • Automation testing  
  • Accessibility testing    
  • Mobile app testing  
  • API testing  
  • Compatibility testing across devices/browsers  
  • Compliance testing  
  • Testing with artificial intelligence (AI) tools
  • QA audit 

How much do software testing services cost?

Hourly rates for QA testing range from $25 to $200+. The final cost is determined based on the size of the software or application, its complexity, required testing type, tech stack (custom-built and older legacy systems cost more), and niche.  

The rate will also depend on the seniority of the software tester. Across the United States, junior quality assurance (QA) tester may charge $70 to $110 per hour, while the rate for a senior QA mentor and automation engineer can range from $130 to $200 per hour.   

Special software testing services such as QA audit goes from $5,000 to $25,000. 

How can businesses know what type of software testing do they need?

Businesses can determine what type of testing solutions they need based on the potential impact of failures and the likelihood of defects. Namely, if they encounter:  

  • Core functionality issues: Use functional testing to verify features work as expected 
  • Unstable code or new features: Use unit testing for individual components and integration testing for modules working together 
  • Poor system stability after updates: Seek regression testing to make sure new changes didn't break existing features 
  • Performance and load issues: Use performance and load testing to evaluate speed and scalability 
  • Security issues: Security and penetration testing are commonly used across apps handling sensitive user data 
  • Hard-to-navigate user experience (UX): Pursue usability testing to determine how intuitive the application is for end users 
  • Low compatibility across devices: Compatibility testing can evaluate how good the app works on different browsers, devices, and OS versions 

There is also the option to choose between manual and automated testing.  

Is automated testing more expensive than manual testing?

As an investment, automated testing is pricier than manual testing but offers a lower cost-per-test over time as it can run the same scripts repeatedly, without human intervention. Conversely, manual testing entails lower upfront fee, but its cost grows linearly as the project grows, as every test cycle requires paid hours from QA testers.  

So, for short-term projects or ones with shifting requirements, manual testing is considered a more economical option, whereas for maintenance and regression cycles, automated testing grants better return on investment. 

The main distinction between these methodologies is that manual testing relies on human observation and interaction to identify defects, whereas automated testing uses software scripts to compare outcomes against predicted results.  

Manual testing is best suited for exploratory testing, usability assessments, ad-hoc bug hunting, and minor hotfix verifications where script development would be inefficient. Automated testing, on the other hand, is primarily used for regression testing to make sure the new code does not break existing features. 

How do businesses measure the effectiveness of software testing?

The effectiveness of the software testing is measured via: 

  • Code coverage: The percentage of the code that has been tested 
  • Defect density: The number of defects found per unit of code 
  • Test case effectiveness: The percentage of test cases that identify defects; helps prune redundant and ineffective tests 
  • Time to detect and fix defects: The time it takes to identify and fix software defects and software bugs 
  • Defect leakage: The number of bugs that "escaped" to production versus those caught during the testing phase
