ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Engagement models built around how your team ships

QA support can be structured around your team's needs, release cadence and coverage requirements. These are the three ways we structure an engagement. Each suits a different shape of need; none is a tier of quality.

Dedicated Team

A QA capability aligned with your product and team, working alongside your release cycle on an ongoing basis.

A dedicated team works as an extension of your engineering organization, building familiarity with your product, codebase, and release rhythm over the course of the engagement.

ENGAGEMENT SHAPE: An ongoing, embedded QA capability aligned with your team.
COVERAGE APPROACH: Coverage grows and adapts alongside your product over time.
TYPICAL FIT: Teams with a continuous need for QA capability.

HOW IT WORKS

Onboard
The team learns your product, tracker, builds and release rhythm.
Embed
QA work runs alongside your sprints and releases, as an extension of your team.
Adapt
Coverage and automation change as your product changes.
Report
Findings and release risk are reported on your cadence, verified by a QA engineer.

Coverage-as-a-Service

QA coverage structured around your agreed testing needs, without maintaining a fully embedded team.

Coverage-as-a-Service focuses on maintaining agreed testing coverage across your product — manual, automated, or both — without the overhead of a fully embedded team.

ENGAGEMENT SHAPE: Structured coverage without a fully embedded team.
COVERAGE APPROACH: Coverage is scoped and agreed upfront, then maintained.
TYPICAL FIT: Teams with recurring, well-defined testing needs.

HOW IT WORKS

Agree coverage
Define what is tested: areas, types of testing and how often.
Set up
Build the manual and automated coverage to that agreed scope.
Maintain
Keep the agreed coverage running and current as the product evolves.
Report
Regular reports show what was covered, what was found and what remains open.

Scoped Quick-Start Sprint

A focused QA engagement around a clearly defined scope, suited to a specific release, feature, or audit.

A Quick-Start Sprint is a time-boxed engagement around a defined scope — useful for validating a release, auditing existing coverage, or getting started before committing to a longer engagement.

ENGAGEMENT SHAPE: A time-boxed engagement around a defined scope.
COVERAGE APPROACH: Coverage is focused on the agreed scope only.
TYPICAL FIT: A specific release, audit, or a first engagement.

HOW IT WORKS

Define the scope
Choose a release, a feature or an audit of existing coverage.
Test
Time-boxed testing against that scope only.
Report
A clear account of findings and the risk that remains.
Decide what next
Stop there, repeat the sprint, or move to ongoing coverage.

One process, every model

See how each step works →

Whichever model fits, every engagement runs on the same seven-step quality engineering process. AI assists across it, and a QA engineer verifies the result.
