Evidence over assertion
Claims need proof. That is why the proof section of this site links to public repositories you can read and a sample report you can evaluate — not to logos or testimonials.
About
An independent specialist in software quality engineering.
Cypher QA exists for a simple reason: most software defects are findable before release — if someone looks for them systematically.
What Cypher QA is
Cypher QA is an independent software quality engineering service. It helps teams find defects earlier through structured testing, improve release confidence through evidence-based reporting, and automate quality processes so they keep working after the engagement ends.
The practice sits at the intersection of QA, automation, and software engineering. Testing here is not a checklist activity — it is engineering work with frameworks, pipelines, typed models, and reporting infrastructure, much of it built in the open as the Nexus Quality Engineering Platform and CypherPilot.
How engagements work
Work starts with scope: what will be tested, in which environments, against which risks, and what “done” means. From there, testing proceeds in focused passes with findings delivered as they are confirmed — not held until the end. Automation engagements hand over documented, runnable repositories your own engineers own afterward.
Working principles
Reproducibility is non-negotiable
A defect report that cannot be reproduced is noise. Every finding includes steps, environment, expected-versus-actual behavior, and evidence where available.
Automation where it pays off
Not everything should be automated. High-value, repetitive flows become maintainable suites; one-off checks stay exploratory. The judgment about which is which is the service.
Honest release recommendations
The deliverable is a decision you can act on. If the answer is hold, the report says hold — with the reasoning and the evidence behind it.
