Coaching Sessions

What does your testing process actually look like right now?

Most teams know something is off — cycles run long, defects slip through, and coverage reports tell half the story. These sessions address those gaps directly, with structured formats built around real process context.

Session overview

QA Process Startups & Scale-up Teams

QA Process for Growing Engineering Teams

Coaching for startups and scale-up teams building QA structure for the first time — defining what to test, how to test it, and who is responsible.

5 min 7 to 9 weeks

CAD 1,800 Flat fee covering all 6 sessions plus async support. Split into two payments if preferred. Pricing is per engagement, not per participant. Up to two team members may attend each session.

How a session runs

Four stages, each with a specific output. Nothing is open-ended — you leave with a documented result from each step.

Process audit intake

Before the session starts, you submit a short structured intake describing your current test cycle, tooling stack, and the specific problem area. This shapes the entire session agenda.

Structured diagnosis

The first part of the session maps what is actually happening versus what should be. Common friction points — like inconsistent test data management or unclear ownership of regression suites — get named precisely.

Targeted recommendations

Based on the diagnosis, you receive specific, prioritised changes. Not a framework overview — concrete adjustments for your team size, pipeline setup, and release frequency.

Written session summary

Within 48 hours, a written summary documents findings, agreed actions, and follow-up checkpoints. The document is formatted for sharing with engineering leads or QA managers directly.

Do sessions run remotely or in person?

All sessions are conducted remotely over a video call. Screen sharing is used during the diagnosis phase so you can walk through your actual tooling setup in real time. No travel logistics required from either side.

What if our test process is still early-stage?

Early-stage processes are often easier to work with because fewer things are entrenched. The intake form asks specific questions about where you currently are — the session is then scoped to match. You do not need an existing mature QA function to get value from this.

Can the session include more than one team member?

Yes. Having the QA lead and one engineer present together often produces more accurate diagnosis because you hear different accounts of the same friction. Confirm participant count when booking so the time allocation is adjusted accordingly.

How soon after booking does the session take place?

Typically within 5–10 business days of completing the intake form. Availability varies by period — the contact page shows current scheduling lead time. Urgent requests can sometimes be accommodated; mention it in your message.

Is follow-up included after the session ends?

The written summary is included with all session formats. One follow-up message exchange to clarify the written recommendations is also included. Extended follow-up or implementation support is available as a separate engagement — ask about it if relevant.
