About QAonTOP
Testing is not a phase at the end. It is how the product gets built
We work as an embedded quality function for teams that release often: a written test strategy before the first ticket, automation that survives a refactor, and defect reports a developer can act on without a follow-up call. Planning and reporting happen in your business hours from Calgary Alberta; execution continues overnight from our engineering centre in Ahmedabad.
Embedded, not outsourced
Your board, your ceremonies, your definition of done. We adapt to the process you already run.
Evidence over opinion
Coverage maps, severity breakdowns and trend lines, so quality decisions stop being a debate.
Automation that pays back
We automate the suites that run every day and keep the rest exploratory. No framework for its own sake.
Compliance-literate
HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, GDPR and PIPEDA obligations built into test evidence from day one.
Managed QA Services
Full coverage for every surface your product ships on
Take a single service or hand us the whole quality function. Scope, cadence and reporting format are agreed before we start.
Automation Testing
Maintainable suites wired into your pipeline, so every merge gets the same scrutiny as a release candidate.
Playwright · Selenium · Cypress · Page-object frameworks · CI/CD gates · Parallel runs
Mobile App Testing
Real devices, real conditions. We test the interrupted, low-signal and permission-denied states that app reviews get written about.
iOS & Android · Real and cloud device farms · Appium · Network throttling · Store-readiness checks
Web App Testing
Your web app is the product. We validate features, layout and state across the browser and viewport matrix your analytics actually show.
Cross-browser matrix · Responsive breakpoints · Session & form state · Core Web Vitals sanity
Desktop App Testing
Installers, updates and offline behaviour on Windows, macOS and Linux — the layers cloud-only QA tends to skip.
Install / upgrade / rollback · File-system & permissions · Multi-monitor & DPI · Crash and log review
Usability Testing
We put your flows in front of people who match your users, then report where they hesitate, backtrack or give up.
Moderated sessions · Task success & time-on-task · Heuristic review · Prioritised UX defect list
API & Web Service Testing
Contracts, auth and error paths tested at the layer where integrations break, before a client app inherits the bug.
REST · GraphQL · SOAP · Schema & contract validation · Auth & rate limits · Postman / Newman in CI

Specialized QA Services
The deep passes that decide whether a launch holds up
Run as focused engagements before a release, or on a schedule alongside managed QA.
AI Driven Testing
We use AI where it measurably helps: drafting candidate cases from requirements, healing brittle locators, and surfacing the flaky specs eroding trust in your pipeline. A QA engineer reviews every output before it lands.
Case generation from specs · Self-healing locators · Visual diffing · Flake detection · Human review on every output
Performance Testing
We model the traffic you expect and the traffic you fear, then show which query, queue or service gives out first and at what number.
Load · Stress · Soak · Spike · JMeter / k6 / Gatling · Bottleneck profiling · Capacity baselines
Security Testing
Application-level testing against the OWASP Top 10, with findings ranked by exploitability, a fix note for each, and a retest once your team has patched.
OWASP Top 10 · ZAP & Burp · Auth & privilege escalation · Dependency and secrets scanning · Retest after fix
Accessibility Testing
Automated scans catch a fraction of real barriers. We add keyboard and screen-reader passes, then hand over remediation notes your developers can implement directly.
WCAG 2.2 AA · AODA & ADA alignment · axe / Lighthouse · NVDA & VoiceOver · Keyboard-only walkthroughs
QA Audit & Documentation
An honest read of how your team tests today, what it costs you, and the shortest path to a process that scales — plus the documents auditors ask for.
Process audit · Test strategy & plan · Traceability matrix · Release sign-off pack · SOC 2 / HIPAA / PCI-DSS evidence
Inside your sprint
Coverage that starts at the ticket, not the release branch
We review acceptance criteria while stories are still being written, so ambiguity gets caught before it becomes a defect. Test cases are traceable back to requirements, and every sprint closes with a coverage and risk summary your product owner can read in two minutes.
See how we onboard
Automation in your pipeline
A suite your developers trust enough to block a merge on
Flaky tests are worse than no tests. We build page-object frameworks with stable selectors, quarantine unreliable specs instead of letting them erode confidence, and tune run time so the suite finishes inside your pull-request window.

Reporting
One report your engineers and your board both use
Daily defect flow in Jira for the team, a weekly quality summary for stakeholders, and a release sign-off pack with the traceability an auditor expects. Nothing reconstructed after the fact — the evidence is produced as the testing happens.

Domain Experience
We already know what breaks in your industry
Domain knowledge is what separates a bug report from a risk assessment. These are the products we test most.
HealthCare
PHI handling, HIPAA-aligned evidence, and clinical workflow testing where an error is a safety event.
SaaS
Multi-tenancy, roles and permissions, billing states, onboarding funnels and weekly release regression.
Fintech
Transaction integrity, reconciliation, KYC flows, PCI-DSS scope and failure handling at the payment edge.
Ecommerce
Cart and checkout under load, promotions and tax logic, inventory sync, and peak-season readiness.
AI Platforms
Prompt and output evaluation, hallucination and bias checks, latency budgets, and guardrail regression.
Consumer Product
First-run experience, notifications, offline states and device fragmentation across the install base.
CRM
Data migration, custom fields and workflow rules, third-party integrations and bulk-operation limits.
Travel & Hospitality
Search and availability accuracy, booking and cancellation paths, supplier APIs and multi-currency handling.

Plan
A test strategy sized to your timeline: what gets automated, what stays exploratory, what we skip.
Test strategy · Exit criteria
Execute
Cycles inside your sprint. Defects reach your tracker the same day, with evidence and a defensible severity.
CI-gated suites · Daily defect flow
Report
One weekly summary that serves engineers and stakeholders, plus a release sign-off pack.
Trend lines · Sign-off pack
Improve
A retro on escaped defects and flaky specs. The suite gets faster, the quality debt gets smaller.

Client Reviews
What teams say after a release with us
Founders, CTOs and delivery leads on what changed once QA stopped being an afterthought.
FAQ
Everything teams ask before the first sprint
If your question is not here, email us — a QA lead answers, not a sales rep.
How quickly can a QA engineer start?
Most engagements start within a week of the scoping call. We shortlist profiles, run intro calls, and onboard onto your stack with a two-week trial before any long-term commitment.
Do you work inside our tools?
Yes. We work in your Jira, Git provider, CI pipeline and test management tool. We do not ask you to adopt ours.
Manual or automated testing — which do we need?
Both, in different proportions. We automate the suites that run every release and keep exploratory testing for the paths scripts cannot judge.
How do you handle confidentiality and access?
NDA and IP assignment are signed before onboarding. Access is least-privilege, on your systems, with named engineers only.
What do we receive at the end of a cycle?
Daily defect flow in your tracker, a weekly quality summary for stakeholders, and a release sign-off pack with traceability from requirement to test result.
Can you support a compliance audit?
Yes. We produce test evidence aligned to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, GDPR and PIPEDA requirements as the testing happens, not reconstructed afterwards.
