QA Consultancy · Startups & Scale-ups
Star IT builds the QA foundation your startup needs — strategy, automation infrastructure, documentation, and the right people to maintain it all.
Trusted by
Shipping without a QA safety net works — until it doesn't. By the time most startups react, technical debt is entrenched, bugs are in production, and compliance is already a problem. We help teams get ahead of that.
What We Offer
We assess your current state and deliver a complete QA strategy — risk matrix, compliance requirements, tooling recommendations, and a phased roadmap. The kind of document that makes stakeholders say "when can you start?"
We design and build your test automation framework from scratch — mobile (iOS & Android), backend API, and CI/CD pipelines. Scalable, maintainable, and built to run without a large team.
Test plans, bug lifecycles, Definition of Done, test case standards — built properly, not as an afterthought. Good documentation is the difference between a QA function that scales and one that collapses under pressure.
Once the foundation is in place, we help you find the right one or two people to own it long-term. We define the role, advise on hiring, onboard them into the system, and provide training and mentoring — so quality doesn't leave when we do.
The Process
We start by understanding your product, your tech stack, your team, and what's at risk. No assumptions — just a clear picture of where you are and what you need.
Strategy first, then execution. Documentation, automation framework, CI/CD pipelines, and the processes your team will actually follow.
We help you hire the right person to maintain the system, transfer knowledge properly, and stay available as your product scales.
The Modern Approach
AI-assisted tooling has changed what a single experienced QA engineer can deliver. We build automation systems where tooling handles repetitive coverage — so your startup gets senior-level quality without scaling headcount.
In practice, a two-person QA setup can maintain what traditionally required four or five. That's not a claim — it's the infrastructure we design.
How We Think
Bugs found late aren't accidents — they're a design failure. We build systems where testability is part of the architecture, not an afterthought.
Specs drift. Tests don't. We write suites that define behaviour clearly and survive real-world change.
Over-engineered QA slows teams down. We design lean workflows that match how teams actually ship.
Systems that are hard to test are hard to scale. We fix that at the design level.
Background
QA for biometric payment systems, compliance-heavy environments (PCI-DSS, FIDO, PSD2, GDPR), and mobile-first financial products. Where bugs aren't just bugs — they're liability.
Enterprise-grade QA in regulated banking environments. Rigorous processes, strict audit trails, and zero tolerance for defects reaching production.
End-to-end testing of transactional platforms — checkout flows, integrations, performance under load, and edge cases that only appear at scale.
Tools & Technologies
Tools change. Engineering judgement doesn't. We select and adapt tooling based on the problem — and pick up what we don't know fast, because that's what engineers do.
Star IT Academy
Practical AI training for people who build, test, and use AI systems at work — how it actually works, and how to work with it safely.
Course 01
Understand AI. Evaluate AI systems. Work with AI. How modern AI actually works — LLMs, RAG, agents, evaluation — for everyone who builds, evaluates, or uses AI every day.
New Course 02
Use, evaluate and work with AI systems securely — whatever your role. Spot prompt injection and jailbreaks, keep company and customer data out of the wrong tools, and verify AI output before you trust it.
Complete the course and receive a verifiable certificate upon successful completion.
Built for professionals who need to understand, build, test, and evaluate AI systems.
Evaluate AI quality, reliability, and behavior.
Build AI-powered applications with confidence.
Make better architectural and technology decisions.
Define useful and realistic AI features.
Translate business needs into AI solutions.
Guide teams adopting AI effectively.
Our Product
Point it at any website, API, or mobile app. AI analyses it and generates a complete, ready-to-run test automation framework. You just download and run.
Enter a URL. AI crawls the page and generates page objects, locators, and Gherkin scenarios. Mix Web UI actions and API calls in the same test — verify backend data matches what's on screen.
Provide a base URL and optional Swagger spec. AI generates Gherkin scenarios, a test data file, JWT authentication setup, and Java step definitions. Works with any REST API.
Connect to a running emulator or simulator. AI reads the UI hierarchy, extracts platform-specific selectors, and generates scenarios that run on both Android and iOS from one test suite.
CI/CD Ready
Select your CI platform, get a pipeline config. Tests run on every push, reports uploaded as artifacts.
One dependency. Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 edgarszeltmanis/qa-launcher
Enter your URL, click Generate, download the ZIP. Tests run with one command: bash setup.sh
Try it instantly. No login. No friction.
