Our Story

A QA firm built by people who actually test software

STS started in 2009 with one belief: that software quality is not a checkbox - it is a discipline. We have spent over 15 years building QA processes inside some of Canada's most demanding technical environments, from global law firms managing billion-dollar billing systems to healthcare platforms handling sensitive patient data. Every engagement has sharpened our thinking about what it means to ship software you can stand behind.

We are not a staffing agency and we are not a testing factory. We are a small, senior team that embeds with yours and treats your software the way you would treat it if you had the time.

Purpose

What drives us

Our Mission

Make quality the foundation of every release

We help software teams build the structure, coverage, and documentation they need to ship confidently - not just once, but every time. Quality is not a phase of development. It is woven into every pull request, every sprint, and every launch.

Our Vision

A world where no team ships blind

Every engineering team - regardless of size - deserves access to senior QA expertise. We are building toward a future where structured quality assurance is the default, not the exception.

Our Values

What we stand for

Six principles that guide how we work, how we communicate, and how we show up for our clients.

Be Passionate

We care about the work. Quality is not a job title - it is a mindset we bring to every engagement.

Be Humble

The best QA professionals listen first. We ask questions before we make assumptions.

Be Eager

We move fast, stay curious, and never stop looking for a better way to catch what matters.

Be Diverse

We bring different backgrounds and perspectives to every team we join. That is how we find the bugs others miss.

Be Creative

Every system is different. Great QA requires creative thinking, not just checklists.

Be Surprising

We consistently deliver more than the scope asks for. That is how we build relationships that last.
