      We have enjoyed working with Jag, Shaun, and several of Microknot's developers over the past 18 months. The Microknot team has allowed us to accelerate the time to market for our platform, translating to money in the bank and added scale to our internal development team without the risks, time delays, and costs associated with hiring new staff.Microknot's professionalism in managing our project has also lifted the game for our internal team. Not only have they delivered a great product outcome, but we've also learned a lot about different technologies and effective s/ware PM methodology in the process.The Microknot team have been responsive, easy to work with, delivered every sprint on time, and significantly contributed to guiding our application in the right direction.I can't thank the team at Microknot enough for their contribution to Biode, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any business looking for a trusted development partner.

      Working with the guys at Espresso Moon (Scott, Doug, Tim and Dwayne) was truly a great collaboration and experience. They didn't just throw a website together for us, they helped us to reinvent ourselves. They go out of their way to get to know you and your business to the fullest extent, and that is a quality that is not often seen. If I were to recommend a web design/hosting company to anyone, Espresso Moon would be the one and only name I give. Thank you for your service and support!

      I worked primarily with Scott, Tim and Doug to build a fairly complicated site: Paypal/credit card payments, video training modules, a graded quiz, and issuance of a completion certificate. They were the only website company that invited me to an in-person meeting and that was tremendously helpful in me understanding how they work and them understanding my goals. Large Animal Consulting & Education launched 2 days ago and the site is running smoothly. I'm very happy with the site they designed (they also designed my logos) and am looking forward to using them to support and add to the site down the road.

      Doug Wheeler is the owner of Espresso Moon and he has provided my small business excellent IT technical support for our website. His team helped me out by removing malicious code that was affecting my site right after the Heart Bleed epidemic last year. He got my site back up and running so i could continue business and save my online reputation. I would recommend Espresso Moon LLC to anyone in need of a new website or mobile application because they follow through with what they promise to do, on time and on budget. They are truly a pleasure to work with!

      Thomas Booth's Review Sourced from Google

      I recently had an experience back in 2022 with Apadmi that I feel compelled to share and have debated whether i should post this. As a professional eagerly looking forward to an interview with Apadmi, I was unfortunately met with a series of disappointments.Firstly, the structured process I was initially promised for the interview was not adhered to. This lack of organisation not only threw me off but also made it challenging to present myself effectively and forced to do a presentation in less than 24 hours notice.More concerning, however, was my interaction with the Managing Director, not sure if he is still there. I found his demeanour not just unprofessional but outright rude. This was disheartening, especially coming from a leadership figure in a reputable company. I've actually never been so humiliated in the professional environment.It's important for companies to remember that interviews are a two-way process. They are not just about evaluating candidates, but also about demonstrating the company's values and culture. Unfortunately, my experience with Apadmi fell short of the professional standards one would expect, however i would say Marcus, one of the board members was a delight in my first stage.I hope my feedback is taken constructively, as it is intended to highlight areas where there is significant room for improvement in how Apadmi manages its recruitment process and senior staff interactions.

      Apadmi's ability to spin out technology as separate companies is remarkable. A strong supporter of Manchester tech ecosystem, they became unbeatable in mobile category during the first three years of northern tech awards before it adopted a new structure and ownership. Another remarkable achievement is that the four founders have remained together during all these years. I wish them all the best.

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
