Software testing services company
Avaib gives you a dedicated QA department that tests your software to break it — functional, automation, performance, security and compatibility testing by senior testers who try the things a real user would, not a checklist that passes everything. You get real defects found early and reports you can act on.
Delivered for teams in Australia, the United States, Canada and the Middle East.
Proof it works, before it ships
Software testing is how you find the defects in your software — and prove it does what it should — before your users are the ones who find them, when a fault costs you trust and money instead of a line in a report.
Most teams know their testing is thin. Developers check their own work between building the next thing, releases go out on hope, and the bugs turn up in production — the broken payment, the report that will not run, the page that falls apart on a phone. By then a customer has felt it, and a problem that would have been a quick fix before launch is now an incident, a refund and a dented reputation.
Avaib gives you an independent QA function that does the job properly, part of how we keep software healthy after launch. Senior testers learn where your software could actually hurt you, then push exactly there — the edge cases, the error paths, the load — so the surprises are ours to find in a test, not yours to explain to a customer.
Shipping faster than you can test, and feeling it? That is exactly the gap we close.

Testing is not one job — it is proving the software works in every way that matters to your users and your business. Here is the range we cover, focused on where a failure would actually cost you.
Checking the software actually does what it is meant to — every feature, form, calculation and workflow — against what was agreed, so it behaves correctly for a real user, not just in a demo.
Turning the repetitive checks into automated tests that run on every change, so a fix in one place cannot quietly break something else, and your team gets fast feedback instead of a slow manual pass.
Finding out how the software behaves under real and peak load — how fast it responds and where it falls over — before your busiest day does it for you in front of customers.
Probing the application the way an attacker would: broken access, injection, weak authentication and the common vulnerabilities, so the holes are found and closed by us, not by someone else later.
Making sure it works across the browsers, screen sizes and devices your users actually have — because "works on my machine" is not the same as works for everyone.
Testing the connections between your systems and services directly, so data moves correctly and an integration failing silently does not corrupt what your business relies on.
Not sure which testing your software needs? We look at where the risk is and focus there.

A lot of testing looks like proof and is really just a formality. Here is how box-ticking QA lets the real bugs straight through to your users.
The tester is handed a script, clicks through the obvious steps in the obvious order, and never tries the odd inputs, the error paths or the things a real, distracted user actually does.
You get a tidy report full of ticks that looks like proof it works. It is really proof that nobody tried very hard to break it. The bugs are still in there — they were just never looked for.
The edge cases, the broken payment, the report that will not run — your customers hit them live, where a fault costs you trust and money instead of a line in a test report before launch.
Testing done properly
Good QA is not about ticking boxes — it is about finding the problems first, on purpose. This is what every Avaib testing engagement is built to do.
Beyond the happy path, we test the awkward inputs, the wrong order, the interruptions and the error paths — the real ways software gets used and breaks, so the surprises are ours to find, not your customers'.
We test against the actual requirements, not just whatever is on screen, so "it works" means it does the right thing — not that it does something without crashing.
The empty field, the huge file, the double-click, the lost connection — the boundaries where software usually fails are exactly where we push hardest.
Automated tests that pass and fail for real reasons, kept stable and maintained, so a red result means a real problem and your team can trust the suite instead of ignoring it.
Every bug written up with clear steps to reproduce it, what you expected, what happened, and how serious it is — so your developers can fix it fast instead of asking what you meant.
Once something is fixed, a test guards it, so the same fault cannot quietly come back three releases later when everyone has forgotten about it.
Manual and automated
These are not rivals — they catch different problems. Selling you only one is usually a sign of what is easiest to bill. Here is where each earns its place.
A skilled human using the software the way a real person would — following a hunch, trying the odd thing, judging whether it actually feels right.
Tests written once and run by machine on every change — fast, repeatable and tireless, catching the things that used to slip through a rushed manual pass.
Automation catches what a rushed manual pass misses and frees your people up; manual and exploratory testing catches what automation was never told to look for. We use the right balance for your product, and build any automated suite so your team can trust it and keep it — not inherit noise they learn to ignore.
The fears, answered
These are the real frustrations we hear about testing that came before us. Here is exactly how Avaib takes each one off the table.
Why Avaib
Most providers can offer one or two of these. Our whole model is built to give you all of them at once.
Testing at Avaib is its own discipline with its own specialists, not a developer checking their own homework. You get people whose whole job is finding the problems before your users do.
Experienced testers who design proper test coverage, think about risk, and actively try to break the software — the difference between a green report and software that genuinely works.
Senior QA from around USD 25 per hour — the same rigour Australian, US, Canadian and Middle-East firms charge a fortune for, at a fraction of the price, so thorough testing fits a startup budget.
Our QA engineers use advanced AI tools to generate and maintain tests and widen coverage faster, directing and reviewing every case themselves, so you get broader testing sooner without a corner cut.
We build stable, maintained automated suites that fail only for real reasons, so the tests speed your releases up instead of becoming noise everyone learns to ignore.
Clear, plain-English test results and reproducible defect reports, so you always know what was tested, what passed, what failed and how serious it is — testing you can track, not take on faith.
The test cases, the automation code and the documentation are yours to keep. You stay because the testing is good, not because leaving would strand you without a safety net.
Want thorough testing from a real QA department, without the big-firm price tag?
Get a free quoteHow it works
Understand the product and risks, write the plan, test by hand and automated, report defects clearly, then retest and regress.
We learn how your software is meant to work and where a failure would hurt most — the money paths, the data, the busy days — so testing effort goes where it matters, not evenly across trivia.
We turn that into a clear plan: what will be tested, how, and what "passing" means — covering the happy paths, the edge cases and the error conditions, agreed with you before we start.
We run manual and exploratory testing where human judgment matters and build automation for the repetitive, high-value checks, so you get both depth and fast, repeatable coverage.
Every issue is written up with steps to reproduce, expected versus actual behaviour and a severity, and tracked in your tools, so your developers can fix at speed and nothing is lost.
We verify each fix, guard it with a regression test so it cannot silently return, and give you a clear read on quality — so you release knowing what works, not hoping it does.
Pricing
Senior QA engineers testing your software from around USD 25 per hour, the same rigour Australian, US, Canadian and Middle-East firms charge a fortune for, at a fraction of the price. You pick the engagement model that fits, and every one is staffed by senior specialists, run by a dedicated QA department, and leaves you owning the test cases and automation outright.
One or more senior testers embedded with your team release after release, so quality is built in continuously rather than checked in a panic before each launch.
A full testing engagement for a specific release, migration or new product — a plan, execution and a clear quality report against an agreed scope and a fixed price.
A pool of senior QA hours to draw on when you need extra testing muscle around a release, without carrying a permanent team when the load is light.
Every testing engagement is delivered by senior QA engineers, backed by a dedicated QA department, and reported on in plain English, and you keep the test cases and automation code with no lock-in. Not sure which model fits? We will recommend the right one on a free scoping call and send you a free, no-obligation written estimate with a clear scope and a ballpark figure.

Common questions
Software testing is the process of checking that software does what it is supposed to do, and finding the defects in it, before real users are affected. It covers verifying every feature works as intended (functional testing), that it holds up under load (performance testing), that it is secure (security testing), that it works across the browsers and devices people use (compatibility testing), and that the connections between systems behave correctly (integration and API testing). The goal is not to prove the software is perfect — it is to find the problems while they are still cheap to fix, so a fault is caught in a test report rather than by a paying customer.
Good testing combines automated tests, which run repeatable checks fast on every change, with manual and exploratory testing, where a skilled person uses judgment to find the problems a script would never think to try. Avaib has a dedicated QA department and has tested software across more than 600 projects since 2004, so testing is a real discipline with us, not a developer glancing over their own work.
Manual testing is a skilled person using the software the way a real user would — following hunches, trying odd inputs, and judging whether the experience actually makes sense. It is best for new features, usability, and exploratory testing where the goal is to deliberately break things in ways no one scripted. Automated testing is tests written once and then run by machine on every change: fast, repeatable and tireless, ideal for regression (re-checking everything that already worked), repetitive checks across many browsers or data sets, and performance runs no human could do by hand.
Neither is enough on its own. Automation catches the things that slip through a rushed manual pass and frees people up; manual and exploratory testing catches the things automation was never told to look for. Avaib uses the right mix for your product rather than selling you only what is easiest to bill.
We cover the full range: functional testing (does every feature do what it should), test automation (repeatable checks on every change), performance and load testing (how it behaves under real and peak traffic), security testing (finding vulnerabilities before an attacker does), compatibility testing (across browsers, screen sizes and devices), and API and integration testing (the connections between your systems). We also handle regression testing so fixed bugs stay fixed, and accessibility testing where it matters.
We do not push every type at every client. We look at your product and where a failure would actually hurt, and focus the testing there, so you pay for coverage that matters rather than a blanket you do not need.
Yes, in a disciplined way. Our QA engineers use advanced AI tools to help generate and maintain test cases, widen coverage and spot risky areas faster — but a senior tester directs the work and reviews everything the tools produce. The AI accelerates the routine, repetitive part of building and keeping tests; the judgment about what to test, what "working" means, and whether the software genuinely holds up stays with an experienced human.
The result is broader, faster testing without lowering the bar. You are not getting tests nobody checked — you are getting a senior QA engineer who can cover more ground because the tooling handles the grunt work.
Yes, and it is common. We start by learning how your software is meant to work and where the real risk sits, then build a test plan around that — you do not need the original developers involved. Independent testing by a team that did not write the code is often more effective, because we have no blind spots about how it "should" work and no incentive to overlook our own mistakes.
This is also how we help teams who have shipped for a while with no real QA and want to get a proper handle on quality before it becomes a bigger problem.
Either. We can embed one or more senior testers directly with your development team so quality is built in every release, we can run a self-contained testing engagement for a specific project or launch, or we can give you blocks of QA hours to draw on when you need extra testing around a release. However we work, we fit into your process and tools — your issue tracker, your pipeline, your release rhythm — rather than forcing you into ours.
The right shape depends on whether you have an ongoing product that needs continuous testing or a one-off release that needs proving. We will recommend the model that gives you the most quality for the least cost on a free scoping call.
It depends on the size and complexity of your software, how much needs testing, whether you want ongoing coverage or a one-off engagement, and how much automation you want built. Testing is usually priced as a dedicated tester or team on a predictable monthly basis, a fixed price for a defined project or release, or blocks of senior QA hours you draw on as needed. Avaib's model is senior QA expertise at a cost-effective rate, typically around USD 25 per hour, which is why businesses in Australia, the US, Canada and the Middle East get thorough testing with us for a fraction of what local firms charge.
After a short conversation about your software and where the risk is, we will send you a free, no-obligation written estimate with a clear scope and a ballpark figure, so you know exactly what is included and what it costs.
No. The test cases, the automation code and the documentation we produce are yours to keep, in your repositories and your tools. If you ever want to bring testing in-house or move it elsewhere, everything you need is already yours.
You stay with us because the testing genuinely improves your software and your team trusts it, not because leaving would strand you without a safety net.
