Our Story & Mission

About QLTY Automation

Building software is not the hard part.
Building awesome software is.

Our Story

Built on a Decade of Real-World Testing

Building software is not the hard part. Building awesome software is. The kind that empowers people, makes them feel smarter, and just works. That belief is what drew us to test engineering in the first place, and it is what keeps us here after 15+ years. Quality is not a checkbox at the end of a sprint. It is the difference between software people tolerate and software people love.

Our expertise was shaped inside engineering teams at Microsoft, Salesforce, and Groupon, then sharpened across dozens of client engagements with startups and growing companies. That combination means we bring enterprise-grade discipline to every project, no matter the size. But we learned early on that handing someone a test suite and walking away doesn't work. That's why we embed with your team, pair program with your engineers, and make sure every piece of automation we build is something your team can own, maintain, and extend long after we're gone.

QLTY Automation exists because test engineering has never been more important. With AI making it easier than ever to generate code, the volume and velocity of software is exploding. But more code means more risk, more edge cases, and more ways things can break. The teams that win are the ones that match their speed of creation with an equally rigorous approach to quality. That is exactly what we help you build.

What Drives Us

Our Core Values

These are the principles that guide every engagement, every line of test code, and every relationship we build.

Quality First

Quality is not an afterthought. It's the foundation. Every decision we make, from architecture to implementation, is driven by the commitment to deliver software that is reliable, performant, and trustworthy.

Engineering Excellence

We apply software engineering rigor to testing. Our automation frameworks are clean, maintainable, and built with the same discipline as production code, because test code is production code.

Your Team Owns It

We don't build automation that only we can maintain. We embed with your engineers, pair program, run workshops, and write documentation so that when the engagement ends, your team has the skills and confidence to own everything we built together. Zero vendor lock-in, ever.

Day-One Impact

We don't spend months setting up before delivering value. Our process is designed so that automated tests plug into your CI/CD pipeline from the very first sprint. Every pull request gets tested, your team gets fast feedback, and regressions are caught before they reach staging.

What Shaped Us

Lessons That Built QLTY

A decade inside engineering teams at Microsoft, Groupon, SpotHero, and Salesforce taught us things you can only learn by living them.

The Realization

The hardest problems aren't in the code

Building features is one thing. Making sure everything works together at scale is another. Quality isn't something you bolt on at the end. It's an architectural decision that has to be made from day one.

The Pattern

Every company rebuilds the same thing

Five companies, five times building an automation framework from scratch. Different industries, different tech stacks, same fundamental need. The industry keeps solving the same problem over and over, and most teams don't have to.

The Proof

One engineer can transform a team

Being the first test engineer at a company and standing up an entire QA practice from zero proved something: you don't need a massive team to change how a company ships. You need the right approach, the right tools, and someone who's done it before.

The Catalyst

Speed beats bureaucracy

Corporate bloat slows down development and kills innovation. After leading mobile test engineering at enterprise scale, the mission became clear: bring that same depth of experience to teams that move fast, without the red tape, politics, or six-month planning cycles.

Why Now

The need has never been greater

With AI making it easier than ever to generate code, the volume of software is exploding. More code means more risk. QLTY Automation exists to move as fast as our customers can move, using the latest in tech, because test engineering has never been more important than it is right now.
