Specialists in QA & Test Automation

You build the roads.
We build the railings.

Engineering teams now ship every week, with smaller crews and an AI in every editor. The speed is real, and so is the chance of a regression reaching your customers. LGTM is your QA team. We catch what slips before it ships, and we sign an SLA for it.

The Problem

Speed wins markets.
Until something falls through.

Your team is shipping more code, faster, into systems that grew too quickly to be fully tested. The cost of one bug reaching production has never been higher. The time anyone has to find it before release has never been shorter.
Code churn has doubled in the last four years. Code is being reverted or rewritten within two weeks at twice the previous rate.

The Math

The 1-10-100 Rule.

IBM's research is decades old and still holds up. The further a bug travels before someone catches it, the more it costs to fix. A note on a design doc costs a conversation. The same bug in production can cost a customer.

Design Phase
A bug caught at the requirements or design stage costs roughly $100 to resolve. It's a conversation, not a crisis.
≈ $100 / BUG

QA / Testing
Caught by automated or manual QA before release: a contained fix in a known build. Annoying, but cheap.
≈ $1,000 / BUG

Production
Caught by a paying user. Engineering stops what it was doing, support floods, and roughly one in eight users churn after a single serious bug.
≈ $10,000+ / BUG

How We Work

Specialists. Embedded. Accountable.

Every engagement runs in the same three phases and fits into the workflow your engineers already use. You pay for results, measured against the SLAs we agree on up front.

01

Audit & Map

Two weeks, no charge. We read your codebase, walk your deployment pipeline, and review the coverage you already have. You leave with a written roadmap of the riskiest gaps and what to test first. The deliverable is yours whether you hire us afterwards or not.

02

Build & Embed

Our engineers join your team as a dedicated QA pod. We write end-to-end suites in Cypress or Playwright, set up regression and smoke gates, hook reporting into your dashboards, and wire it all into the CI/CD you already run. The tests stay in your repo and belong to you.

03

Operate & Guarantee

We run against contractual SLAs for defect escape rate, critical-path coverage, and triage time. Every sprint ends with a written quality report that tells leadership where the product actually stands.

The LGTM Guarantee

Quality, in writing.

Every LGTM contract ships with a Quality SLA written in standard QA metrics. We measure it constantly and share the numbers with you.

Lapses

Yesterday it worked. Today it doesn't.

Most production bugs are not new features failing. They are old ones quietly breaking under new code. Deterministic regression suites run on every commit, so the lapse is caught before merge instead of by a customer.

Gaps

Where nobody is looking.

Branches without tests, error paths that only run in production, integration corners hot-fixed years ago and never revisited. We map the blind spots in your coverage and close the ones that matter, instead of the ones that are easy.

Traps

Does not crash. Loses the customer.

Dead-end forms. Back buttons that erase progress. Error states that lie about what happened. The defects that never page anyone, surfaced through manual exploratory passes alongside the automated suites.

Mismatches

When systems quietly disagree.

APIs that change schema without a version bump. Services that time out under realistic load. Queues that swallow retries. Contract tests and request-replay catch the failures that live where unit tests cannot reach.

We work the way your team works.

Whether you run two-week sprints or a two-year roadmap, we plug into your process and stay in close contact the whole way. You always know where the numbers stand, what we are working on next, and why. No silent months, no surprise reports.

Services

Everything QA.
Nothing extra.

We are specialists. Test automation and quality assurance is the only thing we do, across the full stack of what a modern engineering org needs to ship safely. Pick the modules that fit your stage.

Manual

Manual Testing

Experienced testers running scripted and exploratory checks. This is the core of testing and is done with a user mindset. This is done whenever necessary.

Automation · E2E

End-to-End Test Suites

Automated browser tests that exercise complete user journeys. We model each critical flow run the suites in parallel, and gate releases on the result. Same paths a manual tester would cover, scaled to every build.

Automation · API

Integration Testing

Verifying that services, APIs, and data flows meet their contracts. We write tests against schemas, mock dependencies where needed, and replay real requests against one or multiple environments. Most production defects sit at service boundaries, which makes this the best return on testing effort.

Safety Net

Regression Testing

A maintained suite of high-value cases run before every release. The suite is assembled from critical user paths and previously fixed defects, and grows with the product. Confirms that no working feature has been broken and that resolved bugs stay resolved.

Documentation

Test Plans & Documentation

Structured test plans, cases, and execution records, kept in TestRail, Xray, or Zephyr. Each case is linked to a requirement and tracked per release, so coverage, results, and gaps are auditable instead of held in tribal knowledge.

Cross-Platform

Web, iOS & Android

Automated and manual coverage across every platform the product runs on: web in major browsers, native iOS, and native Android. Mobile flows are driven through Appium, Espresso, or Detox. The device, OS, and browser matrix is sized from your real traffic.

The Founders

Two founders.
Here to help.

Years of production experience across QA, automation, and full-stack engineering. The engineer you meet on day one is the engineer writing your tests in week six.

Viktor Kalachevski

QA Engineer

Most teams treat QA as a safety net. I treat it as a launchpad. With almost 5 years specializing in e2e automation and manual testing across the full QA stack, LGTM Solutions was made to give scaling companies what their velocity actually demands

Rade Vignjevic

Software Engineer

Most engineers ship features. I ship systems that hold up. Over 7+ years across Angular, .NET Core, SQL, and Azure DevOps, I have built and maintained production platforms end-to-end, leaning on SOLID and Repository patterns, and I lecture at Semos Education to keep the next wave sharp.
