QA is a product feature

Exploratory testing, e2e suites and regression budgets — breaking things before your users do.

Users are not your test suite

Every bug a user finds costs trust. Every bug we find costs minutes. The maths is simple, but QA is still the first thing cut when deadlines loom.

We explore new features by hand to find the surprising failures, then lock in the important paths with end-to-end tests so they never regress.

Each release has a budget for known issues: zero for critical flows, small for cosmetic ones. It makes trade-offs explicit instead of accidental.
