Regression Testing

Compatibility Testing.

Performance Testing.

Assessing software performance under different conditions, including load, stress, and scalability testing.

What does a remote QA Tester cover?

A remote QA Tester reviews software at every stage of your development cycle - writing test cases, executing manual and automated tests, identifying and logging bugs, and verifying fixes. They work across tools like Selenium, Cypress, or Postman depending on your stack, and integrate directly into your Agile or sprint-based workflow. They can also support performance and regression testing. Kuubiik manages all contracts, compliance, and payments.

How quickly can we get a QA Tester onboarded?

Within 15 to 30 calendar days in most cases. Kuubiik shortlists profiles based on your testing environment, tools, and priorities. Once you confirm, Kuubiik manages the contracts and setup.

Who owns the test scripts and QA documentation?

Everything belongs to you. Test scripts, reports, bug logs, and any other documentation created by your QA Tester are your intellectual property, formally assigned upon full payment under Kuubiik's Master Service Agreement.

What if the QA Tester is not catching what we need?

Replacements are free and unlimited. One day's written notice in the first two months, two weeks after that. QA replacements are typically ready within 15 to 30 days.

What countries can I source a remote QA Tester from?

Remote QA Testers are sourced from Southeast Asia and Latin America (LATAM). For technical roles, Southeast Asia is particularly strong - the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia all have deep developer talent pools with solid English proficiency. LATAM (Colombia, Brazil, Argentina) is a strong fit if you need timezone overlap with the US. When you share your brief, the right region gets factored in automatically.

What does the monthly fee include when outsourcing a QA Tester?

The monthly fee covers everything on the engagement management side - your QA Tester's compensation, contract setup, compliance administration, and monthly payments. There are no recurring admin fees on top. The only upfront cost is a one-time deposit equivalent to one month's fee. Any testing tools, licences, or environment access costs are separate and remain under your control.

How is outsourcing a QA Tester different from using a freelance platform?

Outsourcing a QA Tester through a Contractor of Record model gives you a dedicated, full-time professional working exclusively for your business - not a freelancer splitting attention across multiple clients. Contracts, compliance, and monthly payments are fully managed, so there is no admin overhead on your side. You also get free, unlimited replacements if the fit is not right. QA is most effective when the tester is embedded in your sprint cycle consistently - not brought in project by project.
