[Get in touch](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-qa-and-testing-team/#contact) "We don't hand you a QA engineer and step back. We build the team around your product, and we stay in it every week." **Mikkel Schmidt**, CEO and founder ## Questions about a dedicated QA and testing team. Is this a one-off test or an ongoing team? An ongoing team. Our testers stay with your release calendar, so coverage improves with every release. Do we have to manage the testers? No. It's staff augmentation delivered as a managed service. Our QA engineers are assigned to your releases full time, and we employ, train and manage them. You set the priorities and decide what ships. Can we outsource test automation only? Yes. Strategy, automation and manual testing can be scoped separately, and many teams start with automation. Can we choose the seniority level? Yes, from junior to principal, priced by level. Mid-level engineers suit most regression work. What if our tooling isn't listed? Tell us what you use and we'll confirm the fit at scoping. Can we add a second QA engineer later? Yes, at the next monthly cycle. Who owns the tests? You do. They live in your repositories from the first commit. How does QA keep its place when a release date moves? Testing often becomes the last step before a release and the first thing cut when the date moves. When QA reports to the same service delivery manager as the developers, testing keeps its place, because one person is accountable for the whole release. Who builds and maintains the test suite? That means a suite that runs on every merge. A [test automation engineer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-qa-and-testing-team/test-automation-engineer/) builds and maintains it, and when load or speed is the risk, a [performance test engineer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-qa-and-testing-team/performance-test-engineer/) covers what functional tests can't. Where do your testers start? Our testers start by reading your incident history, because the most valuable tests cover what has already broken. Can QA join a development team we already have with you? QA often joins a team set up through [software development outsourcing](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-software-development-team/). One committed monthly capacity covers both, and developers and testers work as one managed team. ## Build the whole team around your QA engineers. Most partners add a second discipline within the first year. It joins the same agreement, the same sprints and the same service delivery manager. Your QA engineers Qa engineer, test automation engineer, manual qa tester, performance test engineer. The core of the team.
