What is included in the estimate?
Test planning, test design, execution, defect reporting and a final summary for every testing type you select. Add-ons such as documentation, CI/CD integration, training and priority SLA are listed separately.
What changes the price?
Scope (screens, roles, integrations), the testing types you pick, urgency, compliance requirements and the engagement model. The confidence indicator shows how much the final quote may move.
What are the payment terms?
Fixed-price projects are usually split into milestones. Dedicated engineers and retainers are billed monthly. Hourly work is billed against a monthly timesheet.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. We sign your NDA, or ours, before you share any access, code or data.
Can I try before I commit?
Yes. Every engagement can start with a free one-week POC on your product.
How is testing cost calculated?
Testing cost is calculated in two steps. First, base hours are multiplied by complexity, the testing types you pick, urgency and compliance needs to give the effort in hours. Then that effort is multiplied by a blended rate and the engagement model, and any add-ons are added on top to give the final range.
