Software QA & Test Automation
Quality engineered into delivery — not bolted on at the end.
We treat QA as a discipline woven through the engineering lifecycle: a defined test strategy, manual functional coverage, automated regression, and security and accessibility testing — all wired into CI/CD so failing tests block merge before they ever reach production.
It starts before a test is written
Test strategy and architecture.
Before a single test is written, InWork defines the testing strategy: what gets automated, what gets manual coverage, what the risk profile is, and what the regression surface looks like.
That document drives QA for the entire engagement — so coverage is deliberate and risk-prioritized, not improvised sprint by sprint.
Functional QA — manual
Human coverage where judgment matters.
Manual testing against business requirements, design specs, and the integration boundaries automated checks miss.
Feature acceptance
RequirementsAcceptance testing of each feature against the business requirements it was built to satisfy.
Regression
Every sprintRegression testing on every sprint release so shipped functionality stays intact as the product grows.
Cross-browser & device
BrowserStackCross-browser and cross-device testing on BrowserStack to verify consistent behavior across real environments.
Edge & boundary cases
BoundariesEdge case and boundary condition testing to surface defects outside the happy path.
UX/UI verification
Design specsUX/UI verification against design specs so the build matches what was designed.
API contract testing
Postman · REST AssuredAPI contract testing with Postman and REST Assured to confirm endpoints honor their contracts.
Integration testing
Third-party APIsIntegration testing across third-party APIs — CRM, payment, and communication platforms.
Test automation
Automated coverage, gated in CI/CD.
Tests run on every PR and block merge on failure — so quality is enforced by the pipeline, not by hope.
End-to-end automation
End-to-end test automation with Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium.
Unit testing
Unit testing with Jest (JS/TS), PyTest (Python), JUnit (Java), and xUnit (.NET).
API test automation
API test automation with Postman/Newman, REST Assured, and Karate.
Performance & load testing
Performance and load testing with k6, JMeter, and Locust.
CI/CD integration
CI/CD integration on GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and Jenkins — tests run on every PR and block merge on failure.
Coverage reporting
Test coverage reporting with Istanbul (JS) and Coverage.py, plus a SonarQube code quality gate.
Specialized testing
The testing depth most teams skip.
Accessibility testing
WCAG 2.1 AAWCAG 2.1 AA automated testing with axe-core, plus manual screen reader testing on NVDA and VoiceOver.
Security testing
OWASP Top 10OWASP Top 10 scanning (DAST), dependency vulnerability scanning with Snyk and Dependabot, and penetration test coordination.
Mobile testing
iOS · AndroidReact Native, iOS (XCUITest), and Android (Espresso) testing on real device farms via BrowserStack Device Farm.
Performance regression
Lighthouse CILighthouse CI on every deploy, with alerts on Core Web Vitals degradation.
Data integrity testing
ConstraintsValidation of database constraints, foreign keys, and data migration correctness.
Third-party integration
ADF/XMLWebhook payload validation, CRM data push verification, and ADF/XML compliance testing for automotive.
QA metrics we track
What we measure to keep quality honest.
We instrument QA so quality is a number you can see, not a feeling at the end of a sprint.
