What test coverage targets do you set?
Logic heavy modules target 80 percent unit test coverage. Payment and identity flows target complete integration coverage. Accessibility receives manual sign off before every release.

Quality assurance built into the build not bolted on at the end
Armdia Systems provides software quality assurance UK from the United Kingdom. Typical engagements run from GBP 5,000 audit or included in build phases and last one week to ongoing. Work is delivered by named senior engineers with written scope, documented handover and security review built into the delivery process.
Updated
Testing strategy
Unit, integration, end to end, visual regression, accessibility and performance tests are selected according to the risk of each workflow.
Automation tooling
Vitest, Playwright, Storybook, Lighthouse CI and k6 are common tools. The exact suite depends on product architecture and critical journeys.
Manual quality assurance
Exploratory testing, keyboard testing, screen reader review, copy checks and release sign off cover the failure modes automation cannot see.
Coverage targets
Logic heavy modules target 80 percent unit coverage, payment and identity flows target complete integration coverage and accessibility receives manual sign off before release.
Pricing and engagement comparison
Use this table to choose the right starting point before a discovery call.
| Model | Typical use | Commercial shape |
|---|---|---|
| Audit | Assess an existing product, risk or architecture | Fixed price written report |
| Build phase | Design and ship a scoped product or feature set | Fixed price after discovery |
| Retainer | Keep a product healthy after launch | Monthly reserved capacity |
How this compares to common alternatives
| Option | Best fit | Risk to check |
|---|---|---|
| Armdia Systems | Bespoke systems with clear ownership and United Kingdom first delivery. | Requires a proper discovery phase before fixed pricing. |
| Off the shelf SaaS | Standard workflows with little custom process risk. | Licence, integration and process mismatch costs can grow. |
| Freelance contractor | Small isolated tasks with limited governance needs. | Continuity, documentation and support coverage need scrutiny. |
Frequently asked questions
Which testing tools do you use?
Vitest for unit tests, Playwright for end to end tests, Storybook for component testing, Lighthouse CI for performance and k6 for load testing. The suite is adapted to the product architecture.
Do you perform manual testing as well as automated?
Yes. Exploratory testing, keyboard navigation, screen reader review, copy checks and release sign off cover the failure modes that automation cannot detect reliably.
Can you audit an existing product for quality?
Yes. A standalone audit reviews test coverage, defect patterns, performance baselines, accessibility compliance and security posture. The audit produces a written report with prioritised recommendations.
How do you handle accessibility testing?
Automated checks with axe and Lighthouse run on every deployment. Manual testing with keyboard navigation, NVDA and VoiceOver is performed before major releases. WCAG 2.2 AA is the target.
How do you integrate testing into the build process?
Tests run automatically on every commit through GitHub Actions. Pull requests cannot be merged without passing tests. Coverage reports are published after each run.
