A managed testing team that runs your regression, smoke, and release testing every sprint, so your engineers can ship without stopping to test.
Most teams don't have a testing problem. They have a capacity and structure problem. These are the patterns that make managed testing the right call.
Consequence: Developers miss what they wrote. Bias is a feature, not a bug.
When the person who wrote the code also tests it, blind spots are inevitable. A dedicated external QA team brings independent eyes to every sprint.
Consequence: Release cycles slow to a crawl every time the codebase changes.
A growing regression suite that no one owns becomes a bottleneck. Managed testing means regression runs on a defined cadence: every sprint, every time.
Consequence: Technical debt compounds. Production bugs become routine.
When engineers are under pressure, testing is the first thing cut. A dedicated QA team means coverage is non-negotiable regardless of sprint load.
Consequence: Leadership can't answer "are we ready to release?" with confidence.
Without structured reporting, release decisions are gut calls. Managed testing delivers weekly summaries and formal release readiness sign-offs.
Consequence: 6-9 months of recruiting and onboarding before coverage begins.
Building an internal QA team takes time you likely don't have. Managed testing gives you a fully operational team in weeks, not months.
Consequence: Releases happen on faith, not evidence.
Without formal release readiness documentation, every deploy is a calculated risk. Managed testing ends every cycle with a signed-off test report and a go/no-go decision.
From onboarding to release sign-off, here is exactly what happens and when.
We learn your product, review existing test documentation, and map your release cadence. We define coverage priorities (smoke, regression, exploratory, accessibility) and agree on reporting format. No test case is written until the blueprint is aligned.
Our QA team runs your defined test suites every sprint. New features get test case development and execution. Regression suite grows over time. Defect reports delivered in your tools: Jira, Azure DevOps, or your tracker of choice. No black box, no lag.
Before every release, we deliver a formal test execution report with defect closure status and go/no-go recommendation. You always know exactly what was tested and what is outstanding. No more guessing at the release decision.

Any agency can put testers on your product. These are the four things that determine whether coverage actually improves over time.
You get the same testers on your product every sprint. They know your app, your edge cases, and your risk areas. No re-onboarding between cycles.
As your codebase expands, so does your coverage. We maintain and grow your regression suite with every sprint cycle, not just when you ask.
We layer in automated regression where it makes sense, reducing manual effort over time without sacrificing coverage quality or sprint velocity.
Weekly test summary reports. Release readiness dashboards. Every cycle ends with a clear record of what ran, what passed, and what is outstanding.
Trusted by leading organizations
Every engagement includes the complete coverage suite your product needs to ship with confidence.
Full regression suite executed every sprint. We catch what changed and what broke before it reaches your users.
Fast deployment verification for every build. Know within 30 minutes if a build is stable enough to test further, or if it needs to go back.
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance testing built into every release cycle. No retrofitting at launch. Accessibility is part of the definition of done.
Testing integrated into your CI/CD pipeline. Every merge request gets coverage, not just the final build before release.
"STS allows us to work in a very agile fashion and allows our developers and designers to move quickly. It has stripped away a lot of the fear of deploying software that isn't great because whenever something doesn't work, STS always catches it."
"We've found a partnership in STS that allows us to exceed our quality objectives with a fully integrated team of professionals. This has saved us cost, time, and many headaches."
Managed testing works best when your QA team understands the domain. We have deep experience in industries where software failures have real consequences.

Sprint-by-sprint test execution (regression + smoke + new feature coverage), defect reporting in your tools, weekly test summary reports, and release readiness sign-off documentation. Every engagement also includes onboarding and coverage blueprint definition in the first two weeks.
New features are added to the test scope during sprint kickoff. We write test cases, execute them, and add passing tests to the growing regression suite. You do not need to manage test case creation. That is part of the managed service.
Yes, we can trigger automated test runs as part of your pipeline and report results directly into your defect tracking tools. This is part of the built-in automation layer included in the managed testing model.
We recommend a minimum 3-month engagement for managed testing. This gives enough time to onboard, build meaningful coverage, and establish release cadence patterns. Most clients extend well beyond that once they see the impact on release velocity.
