QA & Software Testing
Catch it in staging, not in a customer's hands.
- Regression suites running on every pull request
- Release cycles that shorten instead of stretching
- Production defects traced and closed with a test that prevents recurrence
- Performance limits known before your users find them
Why companies bring us in
Teams slow down when every release becomes a gamble. Archanix builds the test coverage that lets you ship on a Friday — automated regression suites in your pipeline, plus the exploratory testing that finds what scripts never will.

The work, itemised
Everything below is part of a qa & testing engagement. We scope which parts you actually need before quoting.
Test strategy
A written plan covering what gets automated, what stays manual and what is deliberately not tested — with the risk accepted in writing.
Test automation
End-to-end, API and unit-level suites in Playwright, Cypress and Jest, wired into your CI pipeline.
Manual and exploratory testing
Structured exploratory sessions that find the issues scripted tests are blind to.
Performance testing
Load, stress and soak testing with the bottleneck identified rather than just a failing graph.
Mobile device testing
Real-device matrices covering the Android versions and screen sizes your analytics actually show.
Accessibility testing
Automated checks plus screen-reader and keyboard testing against WCAG 2.2 AA.
How the engagement runs
Every stage ends with something you can read, click or decide on — never a status update alone.
- 01
Assess
Review the current coverage, defect history and release process to find where quality is actually leaking.
- 02
Plan
A risk-based test strategy that puts effort where a failure would hurt most.
- 03
Automate
Build the suite in priority order, starting with the critical revenue paths.
- 04
Integrate
Tests run on every commit with clear, fast failure reporting developers will not learn to ignore.
- 05
Sustain
Flaky tests fixed or removed, and coverage extended with each release.
What we build with
We pick tools for how long they will be maintainable, not for how new they are. Where you already have a stack, we work in it rather than arguing for a migration you did not ask for.
- Playwright
- Cypress
- Jest
- Vitest
- Pytest
- k6
- JMeter
- BrowserStack
- Axe
QA & Testing by industry
The same capability behaves differently depending on what the business does. These are the sectors where this service comes up most.
No. Automate the stable, high-risk, frequently repeated paths. Exploratory and usability testing stay manual because that is where a person outperforms a script.
Yes, and it is common. We start with end-to-end coverage of the critical journeys for immediate safety, then push coverage down to the unit level over time.
Yes — a dedicated QA engineer embedded in your sprints, or a per-release testing cycle, depending on your cadence.
In your tracker, with reproduction steps, environment details, evidence and a severity rating agreed with your team.
