Hey everyone, I’m curious how other small dev teams are handling mobile app QA these days. I’ve been working with a remote group on a startup app (iOS and Android), and while development is moving quickly, QA is becoming a major bottleneck.

None of us are dedicated testers — we're mostly engineers and a designer — and it's starting to show. We’re seeing bugs slip through that really shouldn’t, and user feedback is starting to reflect that. We tried doing some testing ourselves, but it's time-consuming and honestly, we miss stuff that a QA specialist would probably catch right away.

I came across this site that offers mobile app testing services: https://www.testing4success.com/services/mobileapptesting.html — has anyone here worked with external QA services before? Would love to hear how outsourcing mobile QA has worked (or not worked) for you. Did it actually help reduce bug reports and improve user experience?

I’m not against investing in proper testing, I just want to make sure we’re going about it the right way. Open to hearing what tools or workflows others are using too.

Thanks in advance for any insight!
