Are you ready for the launch?
Somewhere between the demo that impressed everyone and the launch in front of paying customers sits a gap, and every founder feels it: the quiet worry that the first thing a real user does will be the thing nobody tried. Our job is to try it first.
testology is a Bristol, UK based software testing company working with founders and engineering teams around the world. Senior QA engineers, hands-on testing, bug reports your developers will actually thank you for. We find it before your users do.

Mobile App Testing
Your app tested on the devices your users actually hold: real networks, interruptions, background kills and battery behaviour, not just the happy path on the latest iPhone.
Read more →Web App Testing
Money paths, hostile input, expired sessions and browser quirks tested before your users meet them, across the browsers your analytics say matter.
Read more →Manual Testing
A senior tester deliberately trying to break your product: structured exploratory sessions, release checks, and bug reports that reproduce every time.
Read more →Test Automation
Lean, reliable automation for the checks you repeat every release, written with Playwright or Appium as code your team can read and maintain.
Read more →Setup QA Process
A QA process that survives deadline pressure: severity rules agreed before launches, testing scoped by risk, and a checklist your team will actually follow. Built with you, then handed over.
Read more →Team Building
Named senior engineers who stay on your product and learn it deeply. Output measured in bugs that matter, not test-case counts, with everything maintainable after we leave.

Qualyn: the release call for engineering teams
Our SaaS product reads the signals your pipeline already produces, from pull requests and test results to coverage and security findings, and turns them into one explainable release confidence score: ship, review, or hold. Built by the same people who test software for a living.
Testimonials
“Gokhan is a great QA. We worked together for over a year and he was always available, always professional, and always ready to help in any way he can. I would definitely recommend Gokhan with my both hands!”
“Excellent communication skills and work ethics. Great to work with. Definitely recommended”
“Very fast and professional with all the QA testing he did for our progressive web app. I won't look anywhere else in the future for this kind of work!”
“We've had the pleasure of working with Gokhan for over a year. With him on your team you get so much more than just "someone to do QA". He has great attention to detail and very insightful with his suggestions. Both creativity and innovation shines through in his work. He truly understands the mission of a unquestionably complex product and provides invaluable work. On the personality side, Gokhan is friendly, easy to get along with, and liked by the whole team.”
“Gokhan Mandas provided exceptional remote QA services for CashBet. We required an offsite team in the United Kingdom who would do real-time native testing in our production environment. Since our internal development and testing were located outside of the UK we needed regular review of our systems GeoIP controls. Gokhan managed this for us in an efficient and organized manner. His ability to create test plans, test cases and reports satisfied our regulatory requirements and helped ensure no downtime with our gaming platform. I recommend Gokhan to any team looking for remote QA services.”
“It was great working with Testology again. Good tester, and thorough in their reporting. They are patient, easy to work with. Also helped verify bug fixes for the issues identified. Highly recommend.”
“Gokhan worked independently, delivered exactly what was requested quickly and without any issues. Very pleased with the outcome from our project. Would definitely hire again.”
“Great collaboration with Gokhan, he is very skilled and very committed. He deserves 6 stars!”
Frequently asked questions
When should a startup hire QA or bring in a testing service?
The honest trigger is when releases start feeling like gambling: bugs reach customers before you find them, developers spend more time firefighting than building, or a launch went wrong in public. Before product-market fit, you may not need us yet; a checklist and disciplined developer testing can carry a small team. Once real customers and revenue depend on each release, waiting for the embarrassing incident is the expensive option.
Do we still need QA if our developers use AI coding tools?
More than before. AI moved the bottleneck from writing code to verifying it: code arrives faster, in larger volumes, sometimes understood by no one on the team. In one 2025 survey, 16 of 18 CTOs reported production disasters caused by AI-generated code. AI-written code tends to handle the happy path and silently omit validation, rate limiting and access control. Someone still has to check the product the way users and attackers will use it.
Can you test an app we built with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt or similar tools?
Yes, this is increasingly common. The pattern with AI-built apps is that the demo works and the abuse path is wide open: paywalls that can be bypassed, API keys in client code, missing input validation. Founders usually discover this from their users, sometimes from their attackers. We find those gaps first and report them so they can be fixed, whether or not you wrote the code yourself.
How much do software QA services cost?
Industry rates in 2026 run roughly $15 to $50 per hour offshore, $35 to $75 nearshore, and $60 to $150+ for senior onshore engineers, and throughput varies more than the rates do: one senior tester can outproduce a cheap team many times over. We scope work as a fixed project or an ongoing retainer after a short call about your product. What we don't do is bill by the number of test cases produced; volume is the easiest thing in QA to fake.
How do we get started with testology?
Email hello@testology.io with a couple of sentences about your product and what worries you. We reply within one business day, sign an NDA if you need one, and start with a short focused engagement: typically a first testing pass on your riskiest flows, delivering reproducible bug reports within days. You'll know quickly whether we find things worth paying for; that's the point of starting small.
