DIRECT ANSWER

Wavect provides independent software quality engineering across manual testing, automation, release checks, and production-readiness reviews.

BEST FOR

  • Teams that need an external view of product and release risk.
  • Software that needs repeatable quality gates, not just a one-off bug list.

NOT BEST FOR

  • Staff augmentation without ownership of a quality outcome.
  • A superficial checkbox review with no access to the product and delivery process.

Where bugs hide. We look there.

Manual Testing

Test from the user's seat, not the developer's.

Test Automation

Automate the repeatable checks so releases do not wait on a manual regression pass.

Managed Testing

Hand off the entire testing process to a dedicated QA lead. You focus on shipping.

Test Documentation

All testing documentation (plans, test cases, reports), so nothing falls through the cracks.

Quality Assurance

Catch the gap between what was spec'd and what actually shipped.

Independent Testing

A fresh pair of eyes with no stake in the outcome, just honest results.

// 03

Nine ways we stress what you shipped

07

Compatibility Testing

Verify solutions work properly across different browsers, operating systems, networks, and devices.

08

Integration Testing

Identify faults in interactions between integrated units to ensure modules work together seamlessly.

09

User Acceptance Testing

Validate that delivered software fully meets the defined project scope and user requirements.

// FOR AI-GENERATED BUILDS

AI-Code / Vibe-Code Production-Readiness Audit

A vibe-coded app, built with Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, or Replit, demos cleanly and breaks predictably. We read the code the model never did and tell you what stops it from being safe for real users.
  • ✓
    Authorization on every endpoint, the user-A-reads-user-B's-data class of bug that demos never surface.
  • ✓
    Input validation and the unhappy paths the prompt never asked for.
  • ✓
    Secrets and environments: keys out of the repo, staging and production actually separated.
  • ✓
    Error handling that fails closed instead of leaking stack traces to users.
  • ✓
    A regression suite, so the next AI edit does not silently break what already works.
  • ✓
    Observability and rollbacks, so you see failures and can undo a bad deploy.
  • ✓
    An honest keep-vs-rebuild call on the generated code, not a reflex to throw it away.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Who our QA partnership is not for.

We test real products with real complexity. If you're not there yet, we'll tell you, and point you to the right room.

  1. You don't have a product built yet.

    QA is post-build. If you're pre-product, you want strategic product work first. That's our Fractional Co-Founder lane.

    Better fit Fractional Co-Founder

  2. You want a one-off bug bash for under a week.

    Our minimum is one week at €750. For smaller, a freelance tester is the honest call.

  3. You refuse to invest in test automation on principle.

    Manual-only gets expensive fast. If automation is permanently off the table, we're the wrong partnership.

  4. You expect us to build the missing features ourselves.

    We find the gaps and we'll fix the bugs we find, but full feature builds are a different engagement, not a QA retainer.

    Better fit Software Development

  5. You handle regulated data (SOC2, PCI, HIPAA) and skipped security review.

    We test what's there. We're not your auditor. You need a compliance specialist alongside us, not instead of us.

Saying no is a service. We'd rather lose the deal than lose the user data.

Still unsure? Email [email protected] and we'll point you somewhere honest

THE NO-BULLSHIT GUARANTEE

If we don't blow you away, you don't pay for the week. That's the whole deal.

01.

Cancel any week.

No notice period, no exit fee, no questions.

02.

Refund the last week.

If we didn't blow you away, you don't pay for it. It's in the contract.

03.

No hours tracked.

We work to exceed expectations, not to fill timesheets.

WHY THIS WORKS

We don't sell time. We sell outcomes.

Most agencies
Sell hours. The longer they stay, the more they earn. The incentives are broken.
Wavect

Sells outcomes. Two mechanisms, both bind us to the result, never to the clock.

  • Weekly retainer Cancel any week. Refund the last if it moved nothing.
  • Fixed price (Werkvertrag) Signed scope and deadline. Legally bound to deliver.
That's why this works. We both have skin in the game.
How it works, in both directions

If we don't blow you away, you don't pay for that week. No invoices to dispute, no hours to audit, no calls to escalate.

And if your expectations are detached from reality, we walk too. We work with operators, not lottery winners.

Walking out is not walking away. Anything we built ships documented, version-controlled, and ready for handover. No client is left holding a broken product.

These rules are written into every contract. Weekly retainers (Fractional Co-Founder, Software QA, Development Retainer): cancel any week, refund the last, no hours tracked. Fixed-price projects (Discovery, milestone-based Development): signed statement of work (Werkvertrag), fixed scope and deadline, contractually bound to deliver. Two mechanisms, one promise. We earn what we get paid.

Tell us the outcome

No hours tracked in either model.

FAQs

Answers to your most pressing QA concerns

End any week, with one message. No notice period, no exit interview, no fine print. We invoice weekly, so the most you’re ever committed to is the current week.
It’s in your contract: tell us, and we refund that week. No questions, no invoices to dispute, no calls to escalate. The only rule: refunds apply to the most recent week.
Because hours are the wrong metric. If we optimize for hours billed, we do not optimize for your outcome. The deal is simpler: every week has a defined result, and we earn the next week by delivering it. You pay for progress against that result, not for a timesheet.
We work with operators, not lottery winners. If a request would require breaking physics, the law, or a third party’s systems, we say so, and if we can’t align, we walk. The guarantee is mutual: you can fire us any week; we can also fire ourselves.
Yes, and it is one of our most-requested engagements. We run a production-readiness pass on AI-generated code from Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, Replit, and similar tools: the gaps the model skipped, like authorization, input validation, leaked secrets, error handling, and queries that do not scale. See QA for AI-generated code .
Yes. We do a structured read of vibe-coded code you may never have read yourself, score the findings by severity, and hand back a fixed branch with tests, not a PDF of complaints. See the vibe-coded software audit and taking a Lovable or Cursor prototype to production .
Authorization on every endpoint, input validation, a secret sweep, failure-path coverage, query and load review, concurrency, dependency and licence scanning, and a regression suite so the next change does not silently break what works. It is the lens we apply to anything built with vibe coding ; the full checklist is in QA for AI-generated code .
Developer testing focuses on whether code works as intended, QA testing focuses on whether it works as users expect. Developers test the ‘happy path’, QA finds the edge cases that break things. It’s like proofreading your own writing vs having someone else review it. Studies show that developers miss 30-50% of bugs in their own code because they know how it ‘should’ work. Independent QA provides fresh eyes and catches usability issues developers never consider.
Domain expertise is crucial, which is why we start every engagement with a deep-dive discovery phase . We study your user personas, business workflows, regulatory requirements, and competitive landscape. We interview your team, shadow user sessions, and review support tickets to understand real-world usage. Our QA specialists become temporary domain experts. In fact, our outside perspective often catches issues that internal teams miss because they’re too close to the product.
Automated testing is excellent for regression testing and repetitive checks, but it can only find bugs in scenarios you programmed it to look for. Manual testing discovers the unexpected, usability issues, visual bugs, performance problems under real conditions, and edge cases you never thought to automate. We use both: automation for efficiency and consistency, manual testing for discovery and user experience validation. Think of automation as a safety net, manual testing as exploration.
We have extensive experience with GDPR, and other compliance frameworks. Our testing includes: data privacy validation, security vulnerability assessments, audit trail verification, and compliance workflow testing. We sign additional NDAs, work with anonymized/masked data when possible, and can work within your secure environments. We also test the compliance controls themselves, not just the application functionality.
In our first 30 days, we typically find 40-70% more issues than internal teams were catching. Why? Fresh perspective, systematic testing methodology, focus on user experience over feature functionality, and dedicated time for exploratory testing. Internal teams often have deadline pressure and feature tunnel vision. We’ve prevented critical production issues worth tens of thousands in damage/refunds.
Integration testing is one of our specialties. We create comprehensive test environments that simulate third-party service responses, including failure scenarios (API downtime, rate limiting, data format changes). We test graceful degradation when services are unavailable and data consistency across systems. We also perform contract testing to ensure your integration assumptions remain valid. Many critical bugs happen at integration points, we make sure those connections are bulletproof.
We perform risk-based triage. Not all bugs are launch-blockers. We categorize issues by: user impact severity, business risk level, workaround availability, and fix complexity. We help you make informed decisions about what must be fixed pre-launch vs what can be patched post-launch. Our goal is to prevent catastrophic launch failures while not unnecessarily delaying time-to-market. We’ve helped teams successfully launch with known low-impact issues while ensuring zero critical bugs.
We integrate directly into your agile workflow. We participate in sprint planning, review user stories for testability, and start test case preparation before development completes. We perform continuous testing throughout the sprint, not just at the end. Our team uses the same tools you do (Jira, Confluence, Slack) and provides real-time feedback. We can scale our testing capacity up or down based on release complexity and timeline constraints.
Web E2E: Playwright (default), Cypress when the team is already invested. API: Postman/Newman in CI, REST Assured for JVM stacks, or pytest+httpx for Python services. Mobile: Appium, Maestro, or Detox depending on app architecture. Load and performance: K6, Gatling, JMeter for legacy stacks. Security testing: OWASP ZAP baseline plus Burp Suite for deeper engagements. We pick what your team can maintain after we leave, not what’s flashiest.
