InteractiveQA offers user-centric quality assurance testing and development. We're committed to helping our clients realize websites that work. Our experiential testing methods rely on a minimum of information and guidance from our clients, and we’re able to offer overnight turnaround on most requests, even without advance warning. Our thorough and critical QA testers combine functional, compatibiliy and usability testing principles as they engage websites in every way possible to uncover potential issues.

A rigid process for every client doesn’t work. Everyone handles, or is able to handle QA differently. We’re happy to work with you to enhance your existing process. If you have your own issue tracking system, we can use it. If you want to use ours, let us know. If you want issues collected into a spreadsheet or word doc, we can do that, too. Some clients with AJAX intensive sites that are more like application give us scripts. For others, we've made scripts. Then for others such documentation isn't necessary provided we insure we're testing all pages, and then we might even find bugs that scripts would lead us away from.

The only request we make is that we work together to insure the delivery and receipt of essential information. We need a URL, any user name/passwords needed to access the site, any specific instructions, required turn around time, and some contact info. When we’ve confirmed we have what we need, we’ll let you know how much time it will take and test that night. This usually means that if you ask us to test a site at 3pm, you’ll have it tested and the results by the following morning before you get to the office.

You can, of course, provide more information (like requirements, designs, IA, copy decks, etc), as well as specify test conditions – screen size, operating systems, browsers, plugins and anything else that is important. If you don’t provide this, we’ll test against our default list, which we’ll provide to you.

How Much Time You’ll Need

A good rule of thumb to budget QA time is 20% of development time. So if you have 5 full time developers, you’d want 8 hours a day of QA time. This is something we could discuss in greater detail so we understand the type and the volume of the work you do.

Our Rate

We charge $50/hr for testing services. We'll estimate what you'll need and not go beyond that without authorization. If you're an agency and have multiple projects for us to test we'll keep track of how much time we've put against each project, so you can assign costs accordingly.
