FAQ

How much does QA as a Service cost?
Dedicated QA engineers through Team Embed are billed monthly, with the rate quoted per role and seniority after a short call. Test automation projects with a defined scope are quoted as a fixed price after a scoping call. If you want an outside read on your test coverage and release risk first, the Production Readiness Audit is a fixed $4,900.
Do you do manual or automated testing?
Both. We automate the critical paths and regression suite so they run on every merge, and keep manual and exploratory testing for new features, usability and edge cases that scripts miss.
Which test automation tools do you use?
Playwright for modern web end-to-end testing, Robot Framework for keyword-driven acceptance tests, plus Cypress, Selenium, Appium and Detox where they fit. We work with your existing framework when you already have one.
Can your QA engineers work with our developers?
Yes. They join your Slack, standups and sprint planning, review stories for testability and file bugs in your tracker, working U.S. hours from Mexico.
How fast can a QA engineer start?
Usually within 1 to 3 weeks. The first sprint covers a review of your app, current tests and release process, then a test plan for the critical flows.
Who owns the test suites?
You do. Tests live in your repository and run in your CI pipeline, documented so your team can maintain and extend them after the engagement.
