QA & Automated Testing

Tepia builds QA and automated testing: test plans, CI test gates, UAT and real device passes for iOS and Android. Useful suites in 6 to 10 weeks.

The essentials at a glance

Tepia builds QA into every engagement and offers it as a service: test plans, automated unit and integration suites, functional and user acceptance testing, and real device testing for iOS and Android. The goal is releases you stop being afraid of.

Testing is engineering

Tepia automates where machines are better and keeps humans where judgment matters, wired into CI so nothing ships around the tests.

Real devices

Tepia runs device passes on actual iOS and Android hardware plus beta tracks, because emulators miss what phones catch.

Start where it hurts

Signup, payments and the endpoints everything depends on get integration tests first, making the worst regressions impossible to ship.

Grows with bugs

Every fix lands with a test that proves the bug stays dead, so within a quarter the suite mirrors where your product really breaks.

The numbers matter.

Industry figures Tepia plans around when scoping quality work.

4.5

Average store rating

Tepia clients report apps averaging 4.5 stars on the App Store and Google Play, and steady quality is most of that story.

25%

Apps used only once

About one in four installed apps is abandoned after a single session, per Localytics research, and crashes are a leading cause.

5x

Caught early wins

Defects found in development take a fraction of the effort to fix compared with production, a long standing industry finding.

What QA buys you, in plain terms

Quality assurance is not a phase at the end of a project, it is the reason a release night is boring. Good QA means bugs are caught by a machine minutes after they are written, not by a customer weeks later. Tepia treats testing as engineering: automated where machines are better, human where judgment matters, and wired into the pipeline so nothing ships around it.

Tepia has run this discipline across thirteen years of client builds, on Alpha and Beta schedules with written test plans, and offers the same practice to teams whose product outgrew manual checking.

The layers of a real test strategy

Layer What it checks Who or what runs it
Unit tests Individual functions and business rules CI on every commit
Integration tests APIs, database and third party services together CI on every merge
Functional testing Features against the written user stories QA against the test plan
User acceptance testing Real workflows, run by your stakeholders Your team, guided by Tepia scenarios
Non functional testing Speed under load, security basics, accessibility Tepia tooling and review
Real device testing iOS and Android behavior on actual hardware Tepia device passes and beta tracks

Tepia scopes each layer to your product; a two sided marketplace and an internal tool do not need identical coverage.

Automated testing on a product that already exists

Most teams come to Tepia with a live product and thin tests, and the instinct is to demand full coverage. That instinct stalls. Tepia starts where failures hurt: the signup flow, payments, the five endpoints everything depends on. Those get integration tests first, wired into CI as a merge gate, so the worst regressions become impossible to ship.

Coverage then grows with every bug: each fix lands with a test that proves the bug stays dead. Within a quarter the suite reflects where your product actually breaks, which beats a coverage number every time.

How Tepia approaches QA and automated testing

Discovery reviews your codebase, recent incidents and release process, and produces a test plan tied to User Stories rather than a generic checklist. Development builds the automated layers and wires them into CI, working in your repositories. Functional and user acceptance testing follow Tepia’s standard practice: written scenarios, tracked results, and UAT run by your stakeholders with Tepia guiding.

Training hands your engineers the suite conventions so new tests follow the pattern, and Support stays on for the releases that follow. Testing pairs naturally with Tepia’s DevOps and CI/CD work, since a suite is only as useful as the gate it runs in.

When to invest, and what it takes

The signals are familiar: releases need a full manual pass, the same bugs return, and everyone fears touching the old modules. A useful automated suite on a live product typically takes 6 to 10 weeks to establish, then grows continuously. New Tepia builds get this from day one as part of Development and Testing.

Tepia clients report apps averaging 4.5 stars on the App Store and Google Play, and steady quality is most of that story.

Frequently asked questions

Who can add automated testing to our existing product?
Tepia builds automated test suites on live products, starting where failures hurt most and wiring tests into CI as merge gates. A useful suite is typically established in 6 to 10 weeks.
Does Tepia test on real devices?
Yes. Tepia runs real device passes across iOS and Android hardware and uses TestFlight and Play beta tracks, because emulators miss what actual phones catch.
What kinds of testing does Tepia perform?
Tepia runs unit and integration automation, functional testing against user stories, user acceptance testing with your stakeholders, and non functional checks covering speed, security basics and accessibility.
Should we aim for full test coverage with Tepia?
No. Tepia prioritizes the flows that hurt when they break, then grows coverage with every bug fix, which reflects real risk better than a coverage percentage.
Is QA included when Tepia builds an app?
Yes. Every Tepia build runs Development and Testing together, with test plans, Alpha and Beta schedules and UAT before launch, and QA is also available as a standalone service.
