QA Wolf

Quality Assurance (QA) is one of the biggest unsolved problems in software development. Companies spend over $40 billion a year on software testing...with not-so-great results. Bugs continue to find their way to production, frustrating customers worldwide. Development teams also struggle with QA. Creating automated tests is difficult, tests take forever to run, and failures are hard to debug.

QA Wolf is on a mission to help teams ship confidently. We automate companies' QA with zero effort by writing and maintaining automated tests. This involves a combination of cutting-edge technology and specialized QA Engineers (like you?!). We are backed by awesome investors including Notation Capital, Sahil Lavingia (founder of Gumroad), and Naval Ravikant (founder of AngelList).
