Testing Processes That Actually Work
We work with small teams who know their testing could be better but aren't sure where to start. Most testing problems aren't about tools. They're about process, communication, and building sustainable habits your team can maintain long after we're gone.

What We Do Differently
Most consultants hand you a report and leave. We stay until your team can run things independently. That's the whole point.
Process Before Tools
Your team probably has enough tools already. We focus on building clear processes first. Then if you need new tools, you'll know exactly what problems they need to solve. Most of our clients find they can accomplish more with what they already have once the process is clearer.
Real Knowledge Transfer
Every session includes documentation your team can reference later. We record walkthroughs. We create checklists. When we're done, your team has resources they can use without calling us back for every question. That's not a loss for us, it's the goal.
Sustainable Improvement
We've seen too many "transformations" that collapse within months. Our approach builds habits gradually. Small changes that stick beat dramatic overhauls that fall apart. We work at a pace your team can maintain after the engagement ends.
How Our Programs Work
We structure everything around progressive skill building. You can't master testing in six weeks. But you can build a solid foundation and create momentum. Our learning program runs from September through November 2025, giving teams time to practice between sessions.
Foundation Phase
We start by mapping your current process. Not what you wish it was, what it actually is. Then we identify the three biggest bottlenecks. That's our focus for weeks one through four. Most teams see improvement here just from having clarity about what everyone's actually supposed to be doing.
Implementation Phase
Weeks five through eight involve hands-on practice. We work with real projects from your backlog. This is where people get comfortable with new approaches. We review work, provide feedback, and adjust the process based on what's working and what isn't.
Independence Phase
The final four weeks are about operating without daily guidance. Your team runs the process. We check in twice weekly to answer questions and troubleshoot problems. By week twelve, you should feel confident continuing on your own.
Extended Support
After the formal program ends, we offer optional monthly check-ins for six months. Some teams need this, some don't. It's there if you want to make sure new habits stick or if you hit unexpected challenges down the road.
Long-Term Results
These clients completed our program over a year ago. Here's where they are now.
Winston Calhoun
Senior Quality EngineerWe finished the program in November 2023. Honestly wasn't sure if the changes would stick once we were on our own. But the habits became routine. We still use the same frameworks and checklists. Our release cycle improved by about 40 percent, and that's held steady for over a year now. The knowledge transfer was real.
Fletcher Morrison
QA LeadWhat impressed me most was that we kept improving after the program ended. The foundation was solid enough that we could build on it ourselves. We've adapted the process twice now as our team grew. Those core principles still apply. When we onboard new people, we use the same materials PDFGear gave us back in early 2024.
