Outsourced QA tester: a tester dedicated to the quality of your software
Without a tester, it is your developers, or your customers, who discover the bugs. MaaSil recruits a dedicated QA tester for you, embedded in your product team. They write your test plans, run manual tests, automate recurring scenarios and secure every release, in your tools and at the pace of your sprints.
What an outsourced QA tester does
They safeguard the quality of every release, from the user story to production:
- Test strategy: writing test plans and test cases based on user stories.
- Functional testing: manually running user journeys on the web, on mobile and across different browsers.
- Regression testing: systematic checks of critical journeys before every release to production.
- Automation: writing and maintaining end-to-end and API test scripts.
- Defects: writing clear, reproducible tickets and following them through to the fix.
- Acceptance testing: supporting acceptance phases with your product owner and your business users.
- Continuous integration: plugging automated tests into your CI/CD pipelines.
Which companies is it for?
This role suits SaaS vendors, start-ups and companies that develop web or mobile applications and regularly ship new versions. It fits teams where developers test their own work for lack of time, as well as those looking to move from manual acceptance testing to a genuine automated testing strategy.
Skills and technologies
We look for rigorous testers, assessed on practical cases before being introduced to you. Depending on your stack, they master, among other things:
- Web automation: Cypress, Selenium, Playwright.
- Mobile and API: Appium, Postman, REST API testing.
- Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python or Java for writing scripts.
- Test management: Jira, Xray, TestRail, Zephyr.

Frequently asked questions
Manual or automated testing: where to start?
The two are complementary: manual testing for new features and exploration, automation for critical journeys and regression. The tester can first secure your acceptance testing, then gradually automate repetitive scenarios.
Can they test our mobile app?
Yes, on iOS as well as Android, with the devices and emulators you define. They can automate scenarios with tools such as Appium, working directly with your mobile developers.
How do they fit into our sprints?
They take part in agile ceremonies, test user stories as soon as they are delivered and report defects in your ticketing tool. Your product owner or lead developer sets the priorities.
How much does an outsourced QA tester cost?
The cost depends on seniority, the expected share of automation and working time. Recruitment, contract, payroll and equipment are included. See the Pricing page or request a quote.
