Two ways to add testing capacity

Bring in a dedicated specialist who owns quality across your workflow, or commission a defined volume of tests each month. Compare the two below and pick where you need help.

Model 1

Dedicated QA

A certified specialist working your priority scenarios, embedded in your QA workflow. A full quality role, not only test creation.

What it covers
  • Automated test creation and maintenance
  • Test execution and defect tracking
  • Quality strategy, reporting and follow-up
How it scales

From part-time to full-time, one or several days per week, scaling with your needs.

Best when

You want someone to own execution, maintenance and quality across your workflow. Creation and optimisation are already included, so you do not need the second model on top.

Pricing
300€-700€ / day

Depending on the duration and frequency of the engagement.

Model 2

Test Creation & Optimisation

A defined volume of automated tests, built and kept current by the Thunders team or certified partners. Grow coverage without adding to your team. Minimum 10 tests.

What it covers
  • Test creation on your priority journeys
  • Continuous optimisation of existing scenarios
  • Test strategy and quality reporting
How it scales

Priced by the number of tests, not by consulting days. Start small and grow coverage over time.

Best when

You want to grow coverage on your key user journeys at a clear per-test cost, without adding to your own team or committing to daily capacity.

Pricing
100€-200€ / test, one-time

Plus 50€-200€ per test / month for ongoing optimisation.

Show a pricing example +

• A team automates 20 priority user journeys.
• Creation: 20 × 150€ = 3000€ one-time.
• Ongoing optimisation: 20 × 75€ = 1500€ per month.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is QA as a Service?

Thunders QA as a Service is testing capacity you add on demand, run on the Thunders platform. It comes in two models: a dedicated QA specialist embedded in your team, or a defined volume of tests built and maintained for you. You add coverage without hiring or building an in-house QA team.

How much does QA as a Service cost?

Thunders prices QA as a Service two ways. Dedicated QA costs €300 to €700 per day, based on the duration and frequency of the engagement. Test Creation & Optimisation is priced per test: €100 to €200 to create each automated test one-time, plus €50 to €200 per test each month to keep it optimised, and starts at a minimum of 10 tests. Final pricing depends on volume and complexity.

What is the difference between Dedicated QA and Test Creation & Optimisation Support?

Dedicated QA is a certified specialist embedded in your team who owns quality end to end, including creation, execution, maintenance and reporting, priced per day. Test Creation & Optimisation Support is a defined volume of automated tests built and kept current for you, priced per test. The two models are chosen individually rather than combined, since Dedicated QA already includes creation and optimisation. Pick Dedicated QA for ownership inside your team, and Test Creation & Optimisation to grow coverage at a predictable per-test cost.

How does QA as a Service compare to hiring an in-house QA engineer?

Thunders QA as a Service adds certified QA capacity without recruiting, onboarding or carrying a full-time salary. You pay per day or per test instead of a fixed headcount cost, and scale the engagement up or down as your roadmap changes. It suits teams that need coverage quickly, or want senior QA expertise without a permanent hire.

Do I need a QA team to use QA as a Service?

No. Thunders QA as a Service is delivered by certified specialists, so you do not need existing QA staff or testing expertise on your side. With Dedicated QA, a specialist works inside your workflow. With Test Creation & Optimisation Support, the Thunders team builds and maintains the tests for you, so your team stays focused on shipping.
