Testing that catches it before your users do
Automated, in the pipeline, on every commit.
We build test coverage into software so regressions are found by a machine on a Tuesday rather than a customer on a Friday. Automated tests in your pipeline, plus manual QA where it earns its keep. Based in Vienna, working with clients across Europe.
Zurich Insurance, Fixmetall and Digitale Tennisschule ship on test suites we wrote.
Software Testing and QA in Vienna.
The real value of a test suite shows up the day someone needs to change something important and is afraid to. Without tests, that fear is rational, so the change gets deferred, worked around, and eventually the codebase stops moving. Coverage is what keeps a system editable.
We write tests as part of development rather than as a phase afterwards. Unit tests for the logic, feature tests for the paths users actually take, and integration tests where systems meet, which is where most production surprises live. They run in the pipeline on every commit, so a regression is a red build instead of a support ticket.
Manual QA still matters for the things a machine reads wrong. Whether a flow makes sense, whether an error message helps anyone, whether the thing feels broken even when every assertion passes. We do that on the paths that carry your revenue.
We also come into projects that have no tests at all. There we start with the paths where failure is most expensive and work outward, rather than chasing a coverage percentage that means little on its own.
What you get with Dotbite for testing and QA
- Tests written during development. Part of the build, written alongside the feature.
- Running on every commit. A regression shows up as a red build.
- Integration coverage. Where systems meet, which is where production surprises live.
- Manual QA where it counts. On the flows that carry your revenue.
- Refactoring made safe. Your team can change important things again.
- We start with what is expensive. In untested codebases, risk first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does testing and QA cost?
When we build the software, automated tests are part of the work rather than a separate line item. At Dotbite we scope test coverage for existing codebases separately, priced on how large the system is and how much of it is currently untested.
Is manual testing before each release enough?
Manual testing catches what someone thinks to check, and it gets skipped when a release is urgent. Automated tests run on every commit and cover the paths nobody remembers. Manual QA still matters for whether a flow makes sense, which no machine judges well.
We have no tests at all, where do we start?
With the paths where failure is most expensive, usually payment, authentication and whatever carries your revenue. Chasing a coverage percentage early wastes effort, because the number says little about whether the important things are protected.
How long does it take to get meaningful coverage?
For a mid-sized application, a few weeks gets the critical paths covered. Full coverage of an untested legacy system takes considerably longer and is rarely worth doing all at once. We work outward from the highest risk.
What difference does this make day to day?
Your team can change important things again. Without tests that fear is rational, so changes get deferred and worked around until the codebase stops moving. Coverage is what keeps a system editable as it grows.
