AI-native API test automation

Your entire API layer, tested and green — in two weeks, not two quarters.

QA Watch turns your API docs into a chained, self-maintaining automation suite in minutes. You get guaranteed coverage, unlimited execution on every deploy, and a suite you own — without hiring a QA team.

✓ Live in 2 weeks ✓ You own the code ✓ Unlimited runs ✓ On watch day & night

Is this you?

If any of these sound familiar, your API layer is under-tested right now.

We built QA Watch for exactly one situation: teams shipping API-heavy products faster than their testing can keep up. See if it fits.

No QA team — or one that's drowning

Coverage keeps slipping because there's no one who owns it end-to-end, and the backlog only grows.

A production incident you didn't see coming

A regression slipped through, reached customers, and now leadership is asking how it wasn't caught.

You tried automation and it flaked out

An in-house attempt turned into brittle, red-all-the-time tests everyone learned to ignore.

You can't hire QA fast enough

A senior SDET takes ~3 months and six figures to land — if you can find one at all.

Releasing faster than you can test

Deploys ship daily; regression testing is manual, partial, and always the bottleneck.

Developers testing their own code

Your engineers write and grade their own tests — no independent quality gate before release.

The shift

Testing built for the speed of AI development.

Your developers ship faster than ever. Traditional QA — armies of testers billing by the hour — can't keep up, and can't be afforded. QA Watch is built the other way around.

The old QA shop

  • 01 Hire testers, wait months for coverage
  • 02 Pay by the hour — broken tests earn them more
  • 03 Growth means more headcount, thinner margins for them, higher bills for you
  • 04 You manage the vendor, the infra, the flakiness

QA Watch

  • 01 Your API docs become a running suite in minutes
  • 02 Flat, per-API pricing — we're paid to keep tests resilient, not broken
  • 03 Senior QA reviews every suite; the machine does the heavy lifting
  • 04 We own the build, the runs, the maintenance. You just ship.
The Program

Get a fully running API test suite in 2 weeks.

We map and automate up to 60 API endpoints during kickoff, committing clean, runnable Java & RestAssured tests directly to your repository in incremental phases (~30 APIs per week). You see them execute live in your staging environment with zero upfront risk.

01

Days 1-2: Kickoff & Ingestion

OpenAPI schema parsed and journeys mapped

02

Days 5-10: Automated RestAssured Build

Chained script generation and QA validation

03

Days 11-14: Integration & Live Runs

Alerts configured; live execution runs active on our platform

The Standard

We don't write generic scripts. We automate to the TDS v1.0 standard.

Traditional API automation is famously flaky, relying on static values and shared database states. We deliver all suites built to the strict **Test Definition Standard (TDS) v1.0** specifications—featuring absolute database state isolation, dynamic token/parameter chaining, and schema-level verification contract checks.

TdsApiTest.java 
// Setup dynamic token auth & state isolation
String token = AuthUtils.generateTempToken("user_temp");

// Chain order creation (RestAssured API)
Response res = given()
  .header("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
  .post("/v1/orders");

// Teardown database state isolation
TearDownManager.registerCleanup(() -> {
  deleteOrder(res.path("id"));
});
Why teams choose QA Watch

Faster, cheaper, and led by people who've done this at scale.

Speed

A suite generated in minutes, full coverage live in two weeks, and runs that finish in minutes — so QA never becomes the bottleneck between a merged PR and a shipped release.

  • Suites built in minutes, not months
  • ~30 APIs delivered per week
  • 100% parallel execution on every deploy

Money & savings

A fraction of a dedicated QA hire, with no infrastructure bill and unlimited execution bundled in. You replace a six-figure salary and months of hiring with one predictable monthly fee.

  • No QA salaries, no test infra to run
  • Flat per-API pricing, scoped to you
  • Unlimited runs — never metered per test run

Expertise

Every suite is owned by senior QA engineers with enterprise credentials — not an agent left to run alone. We derive the scenarios your team missed, and back it with a defined coverage standard.

  • 15+ years of enterprise QA behind every account
  • Senior-reviewed, human-accountable coverage
  • Auditable, non-gameable test definition
The math

You're not buying test scripts. You're avoiding the cost of not having them.

A dedicated QA automation engineer costs around $130,000 a year and takes three months to hire. A single regression bug in production costs far more. QA Watch is the cheap insurance — and it starts next week.

The data

Untested code isn't a risk you feel. It's a cost the research already measured.

We don't sell on fear — we sell on the numbers. Here's what the industry data says about shipping software your APIs aren't fully testing.

$2.41T
Poor software quality cost U.S. organizations an estimated $2.41 trillion in 2022 — much of it defects that reached production.
CISQ, 2022

A defect caught in testing costs ~15× more to fix than one caught in design — and up to 100× once it has shipped.

QA Watch covers your API layer for a fraction of one of those salaries — with unlimited runs and no hiring wait.

What makes us different

Not another testing platform you have to drive.

A

API-first, by design

Most platforms lead with UI and treat APIs as an afterthought. We start where your product's real logic lives — the API layer — with proper chained, stateful coverage.

B

A senior owns your coverage

The machine builds; an experienced QA engineer reviews, hardens, and derives the scenarios your team didn't think to ask for. Judgment, not just generation.

C

You own everything

Tests are written in open-source Java & RestAssured. The code is exportable and yours from day one — stop any time and keep it all.

D

Done for you, priced to save

You don't operate a platform or hire a team. We handle build, runs, and maintenance end-to-end — at a fraction of doing it in-house.

How we compare

The same coverage, without the headcount, the platform, or the hourly bill.

AI-native QA that doesn't just run your tests — it figures out what needs testing, keeps it green, and stands behind it. Here's how that stacks up against the alternatives.

  In-house QA hire DIY / self-serve platform Offshore QA agency QA Watch
Time to first coverage 3+ months to hire & ramp Weeks of setup — you drive it 4–8 weeks ~1 week, full live in 2
Who operates it You manage the person You operate the platform You manage the vendor Fully managed for you
Cost basis $118–146k+/yr salary Per-seat + per-run + your time Hourly — flakiness earns more Flat per-API, unlimited runs
API depth (chained, stateful) Depends on the hire UI-first, API secondary Varies by team API-first by design
Accountability One person — attrition risk An agent left to run alone Rotating offshore staff Named senior QA owns it
You own the code If they build it well Locked to the platform Sometimes Yes — open-source Java/RestAssured
Scales with volume More headcount More seats & cost More headcount Cheaper per API as you grow

Not another testing platform you have to drive — the done-for-you outcome, priced to undercut all three.
