Discovery and QA audit
Understand your product, users, release cycle, current tests and biggest quality risks.
PerfectionGeeks provides QA and software testing services for US companies, covering manual and automated functional testing, API, mobile, performance, security, accessibility (Section 508 and WCAG) and compliance testing for HIPAA, SOC 2 and PCI DSS. Our testers work in US-overlapping hours and plug into your Jira, CI/CD and release process. Testing starts at about $25 an hour, a dedicated QA engineer costs about $3,500–$6,500 a month, and one-off test projects typically cost $5,000–$40,000 depending on scope.
Test cases, exploratory testing and regression testing that check every feature works as users expect.
Automated UI, API and regression suites with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium and Appium, run on every build in your CI/CD pipeline.
Contract, functional, negative and load tests for REST and GraphQL APIs using Postman, REST Assured, Pact and k6.
IOS and Android testing on real devices and device clouds (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs), covering OS versions, screen sizes, networks and app store readiness.
Load, stress, spike and soak tests with k6, JMeter or Gatling to find bottlenecks before launch or peak sales.
Vulnerability scanning, OWASP Top 10 and API security testing, authentication and session checks, with remediation guidance.
Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA audits with screen readers and automated tools, to reduce ADA risk.
Test evidence for HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS and FDA-regulated software, including traceability from requirements to test results.
Review your current QA process, test coverage and tools, then deliver a plan to reduce escaped defects and speed up releases.
| Testing type | What it checks | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Functional | Features work as specified | Every release |
| Regression | New changes did not break existing features | Every sprint; ideal for automation |
| Smoke and sanity | Core flows work after a build or fix | Every build and hotfix |
| Integration | Modules and third-party services work together | When adding APIs, payments or integrations |
| User acceptance (UAT) | The product meets business needs | Before go-live |
| Usability | Users can complete tasks easily | New features and redesigns |
| Compatibility | Works across browsers, devices and OS versions | Web and mobile launches |
| Performance | Speed and stability under load | Before launches and traffic peaks |
| Security | Protection against common attacks | Before launch and regularly |
| Accessibility | Usable for people with disabilities; Section 508 and WCAG | Public websites, government and enterprise apps |
| Localisation | Language, formats and content for each market | Multi-country products |
Most products need both: we automate stable, high-value regression paths and keep skilled manual testers on new and changing features.
| Point | Manual testing | Automated testing |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Exploratory, usability, new features, one-off checks | Regression, smoke, API, data-driven and repeated tests |
| Speed | Slower for repeated runs | Fast; runs on every commit |
| Upfront cost | Low | Higher (framework and scripts) |
| Long-term cost | Grows with every release | Falls as tests are reused |
| Human judgement | High; finds UX and visual issues | Limited to what is scripted |

Native iOS and Android, Flutter and React Native.
REST, GraphQL, gRPC and event-driven systems.
Checkout, payments, promotions, inventory and peak traffic.
ERP, CRM and data platforms, including integrations and data migration testing.
Chatbot and LLM output quality, safety and regression evaluation.
| Model | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| One-off test project | Fixed scope and price, such as a pre-launch test, a performance test or an accessibility audit | Launches, audits and major releases |
| Monthly QA retainer | A set number of testing hours each month for regression and new features | Products with regular releases |
| Dedicated QA engineers | Full-time testers who join your stand-ups and work in your tools | Fast-moving teams and long-term products |
| Test automation build | We design the framework, write the first suites and hand over or maintain them | Teams moving from manual to automated regression |
| Managed QA team | A QA lead plus testers own quality end to end | Companies without an in-house QA function |
For comparison, in-house QA engineers in the US typically cost well over $100,000 a year including salary, benefits and overheads, so an offshore or blended QA team with US-hour overlap can cut testing costs substantially. Final pricing depends on the number of platforms and devices, test coverage, automation scope and compliance needs.
| Service | Typical price (USD) | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Manual testing | From about $25 per hour | Ongoing or per release |
| Automation and SDET engineers | About $30–$45 per hour | Ongoing |
| Dedicated QA engineer (full time) | About $3,500–$6,500 per month | Monthly, flexible |
| Pre-launch test project (web or mobile app) | $5,000–$20,000 | 2–6 weeks |
| Test automation framework setup | $8,000–$30,000 | 3–8 weeks |
| Performance and load testing | $4,000–$15,000 | 1–3 weeks |
| Accessibility audit (Section 508 or WCAG) | $3,000–$12,000 | 1–3 weeks |
| Security testing and vulnerability assessment | $4,000–$20,000 | 1–4 weeks |
| Package | What is included | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Test plan, manual functional and regression testing on agreed browsers and devices, defect reports | 4–6 weeks |
| Standard | Basic plus API testing, automation of critical regression flows and performance smoke tests | 8–12 weeks |

Tests run on every pull request and nightly, with results posted to your team channel.
Page-object patterns, reliable test data, retries only where justified and flaky-test tracking.
