      AI Development Review from Julia Antoci

      Leanware built the mobile MVP of our AI fitness assistant for iOS and Android. It started with discovery workshops that sharpened the product vision and shaped an MVP roadmap prioritizing launch features while leaving room for expansions like avatars and real-time feedback. They developed a conversational AI engine with custom prompt and context engineering tailored to fitness conversations, one that keeps continuity across sessions, remembers user progress and preferences, and keeps health guidance within safety standards. On top of that they implemented photo-based food recognition, smart search that understands fitness intent, personalized recommendations, progress tracking with AI-generated insights and coaching suggestions, and gamified response formats that make AI answers easy to read, plus the scalable backend behind it all. Their consultation saved us an estimated 20 to 30 percent in costs by avoiding unnecessary complexity, and we launched a functional MVP across the app stores in under eight weeks, faster than planned. Project management was exceptional: clear timelines, on-schedule delivery, and proactive communication via Slack, with expert recommendations guiding decisions rather than every choice being pushed back to us. Their technical skill and creativity made the whole thing feel less like hiring a vendor and more like building with a co-founder.

      Software Development Review from Anonymous

      Leanware delivered two significant projects for our e-commerce platform along with a steady stream of smaller fixes and enhancements. They built a new employee management page in our back office so our customers can create accounts, set permissions, and link employees to entities on their own, and when our mobile app's chat functionality needed replicating in the back office, they built a custom chat and messaging React library from scratch, integrated seamlessly with our design system and existing bespoke solution. Along the way they worked comfortably across Next.js, React, React Native, Apollo, GraphQL, and Hasura, and adapted to our implicit conventions. We ran week-long SCRUM sprints with check-ins three times a week, and they consistently hit the sprint goals on time; even when we needed hard pivots mid-sprint, they adapted without losing pace. As the engagement progressed they increasingly took the lead, asking well-informed questions and offering suggestions on code, product, and design that genuinely enriched the outcomes. What impressed us most was how swiftly they onboarded: given incomplete product descriptions, they asked the right questions to fill the gaps and picked up our undocumented code patterns without getting stuck on minor details. It felt like one cohesive team working toward shared objectives, free of the friction that usually comes with a third party

      Mobile App Development Review from Anonymous

      Leanware has partnered with us since Q4 2023 on two cloud-based mobile apps for iOS and Android, one built in Flutter and one in React Native, handling development on both and the UI/UX design on one. For one project they staffed a team of five mid-level developers, a senior developer, an architect, and a UX designer available as needed. They also took over an app that was unstable and nowhere near production-ready and turned it into a stable, solid product I'm genuinely proud to show. Their processes leave nothing to chance and the code that comes out of them is excellent; they've been flexible and thorough throughout. They meet deadlines, keep their promises, and are careful about what they commit to. The whole team has been great, and Alvaro, their Technical Product Manager, deserves a special mention for being remarkable. I hired them because they were upfront about what they could and couldn't do, and that honesty, together with the tremendous quality of their work, is what separates them from other providers. Both are getting harder to find these days.

      Igor Caleta-Car's Review Sourced from Google

      I worked at Decode for about a year, and during that time I had the chance to meet many wonderful colleagues who helped me grow professionally and learn new skills. Because of the nature of my role, I also had the chance to collaborate with clients across Europe, the USA, and the Middle East, and even visit some of them in person. The team I worked with was everything you could hope for - driven, proactive, and always willing to jump in and help. The development teams I was part of were well-balanced in both skills and personalities, led by highly experienced engineers who lead by example. Beyond the projects themselves, the company culture stands out. People are friendly, and the leadership is focused on sustainable growth while supporting employees development. Decode isn’t afraid to promote talent and encourage people to step outside their comfort zones in order to grow. The office is also in one of the best business neighborhoods in Croatia, with plenty of variety for employees nearby. Overall, I highly recommend Decode as a great place to work!

      Working with DECODE has been a great experience so far! Their team is skilled, flexible, and always open to collaboration, which makes the process smooth and enjoyable. Their modern design approach aligns well with our vision, and they show a real commitment to delivering a strong final product. What we particularly appreciate is their willingness to engage and adapt as the project evolves. While some aspects require additional clarification along the way, they are always receptive to feedback and ready to adjust accordingly. The overall working atmosphere is positive and professional, making them a great partner to work with. Looking forward to the second half of our project!

      Ok, we had year lasting project and I’d like to admit the confidence and stress resistance of the team, in each situation they didn’t panic but started searching the reason of the error, and finally eliminated it. Besides, among all, team has strong work ethics and sets an example with his perfect attendance. Of course, the attendance of this team members also contributes to the productivity levels and the project results. Yes, that was that impressed me most… I can say it for sure having in past bad experience with the Indian programmers)))

      We needed a custom software solution tailored specifically to our business operations, and finding the right software development partner was a crucial decision. We were initially unsure whether a Noida-based company could fully understand our unique requirements and deliver a scalable solution. From the beginning, the InnovationM team demonstrated a deep understanding of our business challenges. They took the time to analyze our workflows and proposed a solution that was both practical and future-ready. Their structured approach gave us confidence in their capabilities. The final software solution was reliable, efficient, and perfectly aligned with our needs. It helped streamline our operations and improve overall productivity. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend their services as a trusted IT services and software development company in India.

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
