Comprehensive testing for startups and beyond

Startups avoid investing in QA for many reasons. Some valid and others less so. One reason stands out - they still see QA through the lens of big companies. To them, hiring QA means strict processes, slower releases and excessive oversight. But startups aren't just smaller versions of big businesses. Their QA needs are entirely different. Since 2013, Qxf2 has dedicated itself to solving the unique QA challenges of startups. This page introduces QA options startups rarely consider - flexible solutions that fit their unique challenges.

Founder's note

Hi, I am Arun, founder of Qxf2. I've spent my entire career working with early-stage products, leading the QA effort at startups and experiencing their unique challenges firsthand. In my time with Qxf2, I have advised many startups and picked up on trends, habits, and patterns. Time and again, I see startups adopt QA solutions that don't fit because they don't know better. As an engineering-led company, Qxf2 was built to change that. We offer practical, no-nonsense QA solutions that truly align with how startups operate.
