Question 1

What types of software testing does Globalbit provide?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit provides functional, regression, smoke, integration, API, security, performance, load, accessibility, and exploratory testing — both manual and automated. We've delivered this full stack of testing across 150+ projects in fintech, e-commerce, healthtech, and logistics. Rather than offering a generic package, we audit your product first and design the exact mix your risk profile requires.

Question 2

Which test automation frameworks and tools does Globalbit use?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit works with the leading test automation frameworks: Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium for web; XCUITest, Espresso, Kaspresso, and Appium for mobile; Postman, RestAssured, and k6 for API and performance. We choose the framework that fits your stack — and write every test in your team's language so they maintain it after we leave.

Question 3

Does Globalbit offer QA services for mobile apps on iOS and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Globalbit has 15+ years of mobile QA experience across both iOS and Android. We test on a farm of 130+ real physical devices — not simulators — using native frameworks like XCUITest and Espresso. Our mobile QA portfolio includes apps serving over 200 million users, such as Moovit (Google Play App of the Year) and IBI Smart (Israel's #1 trading app). If your app runs on a phone, we've tested something like it.

Question 4

Can Globalbit run performance, load, and stress testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Globalbit runs load, stress, spike, and endurance testing using k6, JMeter, and custom tooling tailored to your architecture. We simulate realistic traffic patterns so your system breaks in staging — not in front of 50,000 concurrent users on launch day. Clients like Moovit and IBI Smart rely on this testing to serve hundreds of thousands of daily users without downtime.

Question 5

How does Globalbit use AI in QA and test automation?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit applies AI across four areas: generating structured test cases from plain-English feature descriptions, converting those cases into executable automation code (Playwright, XCUITest, Espresso), self-healing broken UI locators when interfaces change, and intelligently selecting which tests to run per commit. This cuts test creation time by 2–4× and maintenance effort by 60%. Every AI-generated test is readable, reviewable code in your repo — no black-box magic.

Question 6

What is the difference between manual testing and test automation, and when should I use each?

Accepted Answer

Manual testing is performed by QA engineers exploring the product by hand — it excels at catching UX issues, edge cases, and usability problems that scripts miss. Test automation uses code to execute repetitive scenarios like regression testing across hundreds of paths every sprint. Globalbit designs the right balance for your product: human-driven exploratory testing where judgment matters, automated regression for the scenarios that need to run on every commit. Most products need both — the question is the ratio, and we help you get it right.

Question 7

What industries does Globalbit have QA and testing experience in?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit has delivered QA and test automation projects across fintech (trading platforms, banking apps, payment gateways), e-commerce (order management, checkout flows, subscription billing), healthtech (patient data systems, telehealth), logistics (real-time fleet tracking), transit (Moovit, serving 1.7 billion riders), and consumer mobile apps. This cross-industry track record means we ramp up faster and know where the bugs hide in your vertical.

Question 8

What certifications do Globalbit's QA engineers hold?

Accepted Answer

Over 50% of Globalbit's QA team holds ISTQB Foundation or Advanced Level certifications. But certifications are just the baseline. Our engineers design test strategies, define coverage models, and build automation frameworks from the ground up — they're test architects, not checklist runners. Many also write production code on the stacks they test, which gives them a developer's perspective on where defects originate.

Question 9

How does Globalbit measure QA success?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit tracks four metrics that tie directly to business outcomes: defect escape rate (how many bugs reach production), mean time to detect (how fast issues are caught), regression pass rate (suite reliability), and test execution time (pipeline speed). We report weekly and trend over sprints. If your defect escape rate isn't dropping, we change the strategy — not the dashboard.

Question 10

How quickly can Globalbit set up test automation for my project?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit delivers a working CI/CD-integrated automation pipeline in 2–4 weeks. Full regression coverage across critical business flows typically takes 1–3 months, depending on codebase complexity. Most clients see a measurable drop in production bugs within the first sprint. We start with a one-week audit so you know exactly what to expect before committing.

Question 11

What does a QA engagement with Globalbit cost?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit offers fixed-price engagements scoped after a 30-minute discovery call. You receive a detailed proposal with exact deliverables, timeline, and a single price — not an open-ended hourly retainer. No hidden fees, no scope creep surprises. For teams that prefer ongoing support, we also offer monthly QA-as-a-service plans with clear SLAs.

Question 12

Can Globalbit integrate automated tests into our existing CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Globalbit integrates with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, CircleCI, and other CI/CD platforms. We configure test suites to trigger on every commit, flag broken builds within minutes, and report results in your existing dashboards. The goal is to make automated testing invisible to developers — it just runs, and they only hear about it when something breaks.

Question 13

Can Globalbit build a QA team or department for my company from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Globalbit has built QA departments from zero for startups and mid-size companies. We define the testing process, select and configure tooling, set up CI/CD integration, create reporting dashboards, and either hire or train engineers to operate it. Most teams reach full independence in 3–6 months. You get a working QA function, not a consulting deck.

Question 14

Will Globalbit replace my existing QA team?

Accepted Answer

No. Globalbit augments, trains, or extends your existing team — we don't replace it. Every framework, script, dashboard, and runbook we create transfers to your people with full documentation. The entire engagement is designed for handoff. When we leave, your team runs everything independently. 80% of our QA clients work with us for 2+ years by choice, not dependency.

Question 15

How does Globalbit prevent vendor lock-in with test automation?

Accepted Answer

Three ways. First, we use only open-source or widely adopted commercial tools — never proprietary frameworks. Second, all test code is written in your team's preferred language and lives in your repository. Third, we deliver complete documentation and run knowledge-transfer sessions before handoff. When the engagement ends, you own 100% of everything we built.

Question 16

How does Globalbit handle sensitive data and compliance requirements?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit signs an NDA before any technical engagement begins. We work with anonymized or synthetic test data, use sandboxed environments isolated from production, enforce role-based access controls, and deliver weekly audit logs. We've passed security and compliance reviews at banks, insurance companies, healthcare platforms, and government-adjacent projects. If you need SOC 2 or HIPAA awareness, we've done it.

Question 17

What makes Globalbit different from other QA outsourcing companies?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit is a full-stack software engineering company that delivers QA — not a pure testing vendor. Our QA engineers write production code on the same stacks they test (iOS, Android, React, Node.js, .NET, cloud), so they catch architectural issues a black-box tester would miss. With 150+ delivered projects, 15+ years of experience, and a portfolio of apps serving 200M+ users, we bring engineering depth that testing-only firms can't offer. We also transfer everything to your team — zero lock-in, zero dependency.

Question 18

What is the best QA outsourcing company for startups and growing teams?

Accepted Answer

For startups and scale-ups, the best QA partner is one that builds processes you can run yourself as you grow. Globalbit does exactly this: we start with a risk-based audit, build automation suited to your current stage, and transfer everything to your team. We've worked with companies from pre-seed to enterprise across 150+ projects. You get enterprise-grade testing without enterprise overhead — and a team that's built QA functions from zero dozens of times.

Question 19

How does Globalbit approach QA for legacy systems and older codebases?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit starts with a risk-based audit of your legacy codebase to identify the most fragile areas and the highest-risk business flows. We build regression suites around those flows first, then introduce automation incrementally without disrupting ongoing development. For companies also modernizing their stack, our legacy modernization and QA teams collaborate so testing evolves alongside the architecture — not as an afterthought.

Question 20

Where is Globalbit located and what time zones does the team cover?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit is headquartered in Israel with engineers across Europe. We overlap with US Eastern, Central European, and UK business hours. Daily standups, shared Jira/Linear boards, and async communication via Slack keep projects moving regardless of geography. Over 60% of our clients are based outside Israel — remote collaboration is our default mode, not an exception.
