There is no longer a gap between writing software and shipping it. Two-year releases became weekly, then daily, then hourly. Now change reaches customers as soon as it is finished, with much of it written by AI and more of it deciding things on its own. QASource gives engineering leaders confidence in what they ship, whether the software was written by a human, generated by AI, or the AI itself is the product. We have rebuilt how we do that every time the ground moved, and we are doing it again for teams using Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot. Our Unique Approach: - 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: Our engineers work inside your repositories and CI/CD pipeline, so validation runs where your code ships. - 𝗔𝗜-𝗔𝘂𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Our platform generates the tests. Our engineers verify each one before it reaches your repository. - 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Experienced QA engineers remain accountable for validation decisions and release trust. No unreviewed automation. - 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, 𝗡𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗸-𝗜𝗻: Every test, framework, and document we build lives in your repositories and stays yours. - 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆: The same engineers stay on your account for years, not a rotating bench. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗨𝘀? Since 2002, we have run quality engineering for teams from VC-funded startups to Fortune 500 engineering organizations, through the shift from waterfall to DevOps to AI-assisted coding. We validate AI-generated and human-written code inside your pipeline, deliver customer-owned test automation as a managed service, and are accountable for release confidence, not testing hours. Every conversation starts with an engineering director, and we follow up with a scoped proposal within two business days.
