Release software testing services

Release testing for web, mobile, and desktop applications and APIs.

DeviQA provides pre-release testing covering build verification, smoke testing, functional and regression testing, integration checks, and release-risk reporting. Since 2010, we have tested software releases for Abbott, Tipalti, GoodShape, SimpliField, and Mimecast. Our engineers evaluate test results, coverage, open defects, and remaining risks to support go/no-go decisions. Client engagements include more than 800 releases for Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre and over 250 releases for Tipalti.

Release testing challenges addressed by DeviQA

DeviQA helps teams address incomplete release coverage, unstable builds, long regression cycles, unresolved critical defects, environment and configuration issues, and unclear go/no-go criteria before production deployment.

Missed critical bugs at the last minute

Challenge

70% of defects are found by users post-releaser.

Solution

We run targeted, high-priority tests before every release – focusing on real user flows and integration points that matter most.

Tight release windows, limited QA time

Challenge

60% of teams feel rushed in their QA process.

Solution

With 16 years of experience, we know how to optimize for speed – automating where it counts, and manually testing where it matters.

Lack of visibility into release readiness

Challenge

Only 29% of teams say they have full visibility into test coverage before a release.

Solution

Our test reports provide clear go/no-go indicators, issue severity, and real-time test coverage – so you can release with confidence.

Hotfix loops and post-release patching

Challenge

Post-release defects can increase customer churn by 16% and reduce trust in your product.

Solution

We help you shift from reactive to proactive – finding issues before users do, and cutting down on urgent post-release fixes.

Software release testing engagement models

DeviQA offers three engagement models for software release testing: staff augmentation, a dedicated QA team, and project-based outsourcing. The right model depends on release frequency, testing scope, internal QA capacity, and the required level of delivery ownership.

Staff augmentation

Release testing engineers join your existing team while you manage their tasks, priorities, tools, and release scope.

Advantages:

  • Add QA engineers without running a separate hiring process

  • Retain control over testing priorities, workflows, and go/no-go criteria

  • Scale testing capacity according to the release schedule

Best for:

Teams that need additional testing capacity before a product launch, major update, or high-risk release.

Get started

Dedicated QA team

A stable QA team works with your developers throughout ongoing release cycles.

Advantages:

  • Maintain a consistent team familiar with your product, architecture, risks, and release process

  • Align the testing scope with the product roadmap and planned releases

  • Adjust priorities and coverage as release schedules and product risks change

Best for:

Products with continuous development and recurring release testing requirements.

Get started

Project-based outsourcing

DeviQA takes ownership of a defined release testing scope, from change-impact analysis and planning through execution and final reporting.

Advantages:

  • One team manages test planning, environment preparation, execution, defect reporting, and release-risk assessment

  • Work against an agreed scope, schedule, deliverables, acceptance criteria, and reporting format

  • Minimize the day-to-day testing management required from your internal team

Best for:

Teams that want to transfer delivery ownership for a defined software release or release program.

DeviQA’s software release testing process

DeviQA follows a six-step release testing process covering scope and risk analysis, test planning, environment validation, execution, defect management, and go/no-go reporting.

01

Analyze the release scope and risks

We review release requirements, code and configuration changes, affected dependencies, known defects, critical workflows, and previous test results to define the required testing scope.

02

Define the release testing plan

We select the required build verification, smoke, regression, exploratory, integration, and compatibility checks. The plan defines priorities, responsibilities, environments, schedule, and entry and exit criteria.

03

Validate the pre-production environment

We verify the application build, feature flags, integrations, dependencies, configurations, permissions, and test data in a staging or pre-production environment aligned with production.

04

Execute the release testing scope

We execute the planned tests, document passed and failed scenarios, and identify blocker, critical, and other release-related defects.

05

Report, prioritize, and retest defects

Each defect report includes severity, affected functionality, reproduction steps, environment details, expected and actual results, and supporting evidence. Fixed defects are retested before the final evaluation.

06

Provide go/no-go release evidence

The final report summarizes executed tests, coverage, pass and failure rates, resolved and open defects, and remaining risks. This evidence supports the client’s go/no-go release decision.
