End-to-end software testing so you launch with fewer surprises
A separate QA team at every stage
Independent testers check your software at every step, from the first specification and mockups to staging and updates after launch. They catch usability gaps, errors, and broken features before your users see them, so you need fewer emergency fixes.
How the end to end software testing process works
Early involvement: major features and upgrades
When planning significant features or major upgrades, a QA tester reviews and comments on the specifications before development begins, building familiarity with the technical scope and catching usability issues while changes are still easy to implement.
Design review: mockup validation
Once mockups are complete, QA testers review designs as a second set of eyes before development starts, checking usability, layout behavior across screen sizes, consistency with specifications, and accessibility.
Core testing phase: before deployment
Once development is complete, QA tests the system on staging. Checks cover functionality, UI/UX, cross-browser compatibility, responsive layout, and technical SEO configuration, among others.
Any issues discovered get reported to the development team for fixes. After corrections, QA testers re-verify the fix and conduct regression testing to confirm nothing else broke. Once QA signs off, the system moves to you for review. Change requests after that go through the same development-and-testing cycle before deployment to live.
How we use AI in testing
Agentic tools help our QA team accelerate checks and document findings. 1902 Software controls access to the systems being tested, verifies the results, and decides what is ready for release. Our experienced QA testers remain responsible for the final result.
After deployment
After deployment, QA tests critical hotfixes and runs regression checks as updates are added. Ongoing Care typically runs through Continuous Monthly Development; major updates can become a Fixed Price Project.
Our testing department and capabilities
Having in-house QA testers, separate from the developers who built the feature, ensures a second set of eyes reviews the system. When systems are tested by the person who developed them, they can become nearsighted to their own errors, our QA team catches these issues before clients do.
We perform this testing process across custom web applications, ecommerce platforms (Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce), mobile applications, enterprise software, WordPress and Umbraco, and progressive web applications.
Standalone testing and review services
QA testers can join projects as needed, for systems we develop from scratch, or projects where we handle daily maintenance. If you have your own development team and only need QA expertise, see our standalone Web and Software Testing page. We also offer one-time software review services with different packages depending on your requirements.

Commonly asked questions
At what stage of a project do you get involved with testing?
Our software testing process begins as early as spec review for significant features, continues at mockup review, and becomes most intensive once development completes and the system moves to staging. Testing continues after launch through regression checks and hotfix verification.
Do you test software your team didn't build?
Yes. QA testers can work as a standalone service alongside your own development team, or as part of a one-time software review.
Why does testing need to be done by someone other than the developer?
Developers testing their own work tend to become nearsighted to their own errors. A separate QA team reviews the system with fresh eyes and catches issues before clients do.
What platforms do you test?
Custom web applications, ecommerce platforms (Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce), mobile apps, enterprise software, WordPress, Umbraco, and progressive web applications.
