ResearchWhere AI-assisted testing is delivering measurable value and where it is still theatre.WritingWhat you will find in Research & Reports
Most QA statistics circulating online trace back to the same handful of decade-old studies, repeated until they sound like fact. This category publishes numbers we can stand behind: defect patterns across our engagements, what automation genuinely costs to maintain, how AI-assisted testing performs on production work, and where teams are over- and under-investing. Every figure states its sample size and method so you can judge how much weight it deserves, and we publish the ones that are inconvenient for us too.
Written by practitioners
Every number we publish comes out of work we did for a client. That work is the service, and the research is a by-product of doing it at volume.
