What you're actually getting with QA outsourcing

Handing QA to an agency feels like the right move — someone else deals with it. But for a team shipping weekly, traditional outsourcing comes with trade-offs you don't see until you're locked in.

The tests aren't yours

They live in the agency's tools, written in the agency's framework. If the engagement ends, the coverage ends with it — and your team can't open, run or change a single test.

backgroundicon

Slow to start, slow to adapt

Onboarding an external QA team takes weeks. Every time your product changes, they need to catch up. By the time they've updated their test cases, you've shipped three more releases.

No visibility until something breaks

External teams work in their own systems. You get a report at the end of a cycle — not a live view of what's covered, what's failing and why.

Costs grow with the product, not the value

As your product grows, so does the engagement. More features mean more testers and more hours, whether or not the extra coverage was the bottleneck.

Coverage you own. Results you can measure

Owlity isn't an outsourcing vendor — it's a platform that puts coverage in your hands. Your team describes the flows and AI builds the tests. Owlity runs them on every deploy, adapts them when the product changes, and explains every failure. When you want more coverage than your team has time for, our QA experts build it — in your workspace, where you can see and run every test.

No agency dependency. No black-box reporting. No waiting for someone else to catch up.

What you get with Owlity

lighticon

95% coverage, not a best effort

Not an estimate. A concrete outcome backed by 16 years of QA expertise.

lighticon

Costs that make sense

Credit-based plans. No retainer, no minimum spend, no annual contract. You pay for the test runs you use.

lighticon

Failures explained, not just reported

Every run produces video, screenshots, network logs and a step-by-step timeline — and AI tells you the likely root cause and what to check next. You know what failed and why before the release goes live, not at the end of the cycle.

lighticon

Up and running the same day

No onboarding calls, no ramp-up, no waiting for an external team to learn your product. Download Owlity, describe your first test, and start running.

FAQ

Questions? We have answers

Owlity lets you reach 95% coverage without a large QA team. AI builds and maintains the tests, your engineers review them, and our QA experts fill the gaps — all in your workspace. For teams that want QA owned end to end, our Managed QA service does that, and the tests still stay yours.
Your tests keep up the same day. Describe what changed and AI updates the test — you see the diff before saving. When the UI changes, AI finds elements by meaning, so a renamed button doesn't break a run. No waiting for an external team to catch up.
Owlity targets a measurable outcome — 95% of your critical flows, edge cases and error states covered by automated tests that run on every deploy — and you can see the coverage yourself, in your workspace, at any time. It isn't a number in a monthly report; it's a dashboard your team opens every day.
Yes. Most teams run Owlity alongside their existing process first. If you have test cases written down, paste them in as descriptions and AI builds the tests — then switch over once you've seen the results.
