Test cases are always a week behind the release
Cases are drafted straight from your tickets and specs, the same day they're ready.
Senior QA lead + AI agent · EU-based · Working with teams in Europe and the U.S.
Release testing & QA outsourcing for SaaS teams — one senior lead instead of a team to manage.
I run your release testing with an AI agent wired into your Jira, Confluence and test management tool. It reads your specs, writes the test cases, builds the test cycles, runs your API and automated tests, and files the bugs. I review everything, test what needs a human, and sign off. The output of a small QA team, with one person accountable for it.
A sample release run. Yours shows your tickets, your tools and your bugs.
Most QA time before a release doesn't go into finding bugs. It goes into reading specs, writing cases, creating tasks and cycles, chasing assignments, copying results between tools and writing the status report. That work is necessary, slow, and exactly what an agent with API access does well.
Cases are drafted straight from your tickets and specs, the same day they're ready.
UAT cases are written in plain English for people who don't read API docs. Technical cases stay technical.
Every case, result, defect and piece of evidence lives in your test management tool, linked to the ticket it came from. The release report writes itself.
Read-only API access to Jira, Confluence, your test management tool and your test environment. The agent maps your product: areas, risks, existing tests, gaps.
For each release, the agent reads the tickets and specs and drafts the test documentation and cases. I review and approve every one.
One run creates the whole structure: Jira tasks, test cases, the test cycle, tester assignments, links back to source tickets.
API smoke and regression tests, plus your existing automated suites. Failures are triaged before anyone sees them.
What needs human judgment gets tested by a human: me, or your business testers working from cases they can actually follow.
Results, evidence and defects recorded in your tools. A release report your management can read in five minutes.
Different tool? If it has an API, I can connect to it.
Fixed price, fixed scope. Start small, keep going only if it works.

Who's behind it
Senior QA lead · 19 years in software quality · ISTQB Advanced
I've spent 19 years making sure software works on more than one machine: as the first and only QA on startup products, and as a specialist inside large enterprise programmes. More than a decade of that was in regulated environments (banking, payments, compliance, EU trust services) where "it mostly works" isn't an option.
I've built QA functions from zero more than once: test strategy, automation, release gates, and UAT run with business stakeholders who don't read API docs. Today I specialise in the quality of AI and agentic systems: evaluating LLM features, red-teaming them, and testing agents that make real decisions. I use the same kind of agents to run test processes faster than a team could by hand.
The person on your first call is the person doing the work.
No. The agent drafts and runs; I review and approve anything written to your tools, and I sign off.
API tokens for Jira, Confluence and your test management tool, plus access to a test environment. Read-only to start; write access only where we agree.
Usually not. Staging with synthetic data is the default.
That's usually the first thing I fix. The Health Check tells you where it stands.
Yes. I start with API tests, which pay off fastest, and build from there. The code stays in your repo.
Yes, plus the agent. That's the point: one accountable person instead of a team you have to manage.
Async by default: findings land in Jira and Slack as they come, with a written summary. Calls in a fixed overlap window: 8:00 AM–12:00 PM ET (14:00–18:00 CET), Monday to Friday — whatever time zone you're in, there's a slot that works for both of us.
You keep everything: cases, cycles, scripts, reports. Nothing to migrate.
Tell me what's coming up — a release, a launch, a process that keeps slipping — and I'll tell you what I'd do first and what it would cost.
