The questions you are probably asking yourself right now.
Straight answers on cost, risk, trust and results, including the things most testers avoid saying.
Developers check that the code does what they meant. I check what a real user will actually do: the wrong tap, the slow network, the half-filled form. Different goal, different bugs. Most of what I find was never on the developer's checklist.
With an agency, a senior sells the deal and a junior does the testing. With me, the person on the call is the person testing your product, with 6+ years and 50+ products behind her. No account managers, no agency mark-up, and one person who knows your product inside out.
It speeds them up. I test each feature while your team builds the next one, so nothing waits for me. What slows a team down is a bug found after release: a hotfix, an angry customer and a lost week.
Yes. As an APM lead I have set up the delivery process for 10+ startups: Jira or ClickUp boards, a definition of done, bug priorities and release checklists. Many teams start with testing and keep the process.
Yes. Send your link for the free 1-hour bug hunt. You get real bugs from your own product, written exactly the way a paid report is written. If it is not useful, you have lost nothing.
Tell me what was missing and I will redo that part at no cost. If it is still not right, you do not pay the second half. I would rather lose a fee than leave a founder with a report they cannot use.
The price we agree is the price you pay. If you add new screens or features midway, I tell you the extra cost first and you decide. Nothing is added to your bill without your yes.
Fixed jobs: half to start, half when the report is in your hands. Monthly plans: paid at the start of each month, cancel any time. Pay through Upwork for its protection, or by direct transfer.
No, but every day counts. Even two days are enough to test sign-up, payment and your main flow, the places where a launch-day bug hurts most. Tell me the date and I will say honestly what fits.
I sign your NDA before you share anything. I do not need your source code: a staging link, a test login, or your Postman or Swagger file is enough. On live apps I use test accounts only and never touch real customer data.
It works in your favour. I overlap with your morning for calls, and test while your team sleeps, so a fresh bug list is waiting when your developers start their day.
Yes, and it is where I help most. Every bug I log has steps, a screen recording and the device used, so their developers can fix it without a meeting. You also get an independent view of the quality you are paying them for.
No tester can promise zero bugs, and I will never pretend to. You get, in writing, what I tested and what I did not. If a bug escapes in an area I did test, I find out why and check it again at no cost.
Yes, and it is my speciality. I do not check for one exact sentence. I check that every answer stays correct, safe and on-topic, using a set of tricky questions that I rerun after every model or prompt change.
