Professional QA Expertise 24-48 Hour Delivery NDA Available Secure Access Handling Professional Bug Reports AI-Assisted Test Planning AI-Assisted Workflow Manual Validation Problem We Solve ## Most serious defects are found after confidence gets too high. Forge gives teams an external review before release, so high-impact product risks are found before customers, investors, or sales prospects see them. ### Bugs reach customers Internal teams often test the happy path, while edge cases, broken states, payment failures, and mobile issues slip into production. ### Poor UX hurts conversion Confusing flows, missing feedback, and trust gaps can quietly reduce signups, checkouts, and demo confidence. ### Launch risk stays unclear Without a structured QA review, teams struggle to know which issues are cosmetic and which ones can block release. Fit ## Who Forge Is Best For Forge is designed for focused launch and release audits, not open-ended outsourced QA programs. ### Good Fit - Startups preparing for launch - SaaS products releasing major updates - Teams without dedicated QA - Founders who need fast release feedback - Small businesses launching websites or apps ### Not Ideal For - Enterprise-scale outsourced QA programs - Long-term embedded QA teams - Compliance certification projects - Dedicated load/performance testing programs - Large crowdtesting operations How it works ## AI-assisted planning.

Forge organizes findings into an executive-ready report: summary, bug evidence, severity distribution, risk assessment, and recommendations your team can act on immediately. Executive summary ### Release risk is high until payment recovery is fixed. The product is functionally close, but two critical defects affect checkout and account recovery. Resolve P1 issues and retest core conversion flows before launch. Bug list Severity Finding Priority Critical Checkout retry blocks paid signup P1 High Password reset accepts expired token P1 Major Mobile menu traps keyboard focus P2 Minor Empty dashboard state lacks guidance P3 Example bug card ### Checkout retry blocks paid signup Critical severity Steps Select paid plan, enter a declined card, retry with a valid test card. Expected result Payment succeeds and the user lands on the dashboard. Actual result Checkout stays blocked and the session cannot recover. Launch readiness score 74 Severity distribution Critical2 Major7 Minor14 Risk assessment High risk for paid acquisition and account recovery until checkout retry and password reset defects are corrected. Recommendations Fix P1 defects, retest checkout and reset flows, then run a short regression pass before public release. What customers receive ## Evidence your team can act on immediately. Reports are written for product leaders and engineers, with enough detail to reproduce defects and decide what must be fixed before release. ### PDF bug report ### Bug severity and priority ### Steps to reproduce ### Expected vs actual result ### Screenshots/videos when needed ### Risk assessment ### Launch-readiness score ### Recommendations Why Forge? ## Structured like a product audit, not a loose bug hunt. Forge combines AI-assisted planning, professional QA expertise, manual validation, and decision-ready reporting so teams can understand what matters before they ship. ### AI-Assisted Planning Requirements are turned into focused test ideas, edge cases, and risk areas before testing begins. ### Manual QA Execution Professional QA expertise guides the audit. AI helps organize coverage; it does not replace manual validation. ### Professional Reports Findings are written for product and engineering teams with clear severity, steps, evidence, and next actions. ### AI-Accelerated Delivery AI helps generate test plans and structure reports, reducing turnaround time without sacrificing quality. ### Professional QA Expertise Findings are validated by a QA engineer before delivery. ### Launch Readiness Focus The report helps teams decide what to fix now, what to monitor, and what risk remains before release. Customer feedback ## What customers say about Forge. Published feedback comes from submitted customer comments that have been reviewed and approved. “I've faced rival gangs, hostile takeovers, and family meetings, but nothing was as dangerous as launching software without proper QA. Fortunately, Forge found the issues before my customers did. Outstanding Work” Request QA Review ## Tell Forge what you are building before we define the QA scope.

Forge asks for only the access needed to test your product. Use test accounts, staged data, sandbox environments, or access notes whenever possible. We help identify the most important bugs and risks before your users do. We do not need production admin access or real customer records to perform most audits. Access information is handled only by the assigned QA engineer and can be deleted after audit completion upon request. ### Test credentials only ### No real customer data requested ### Data used only for the QA audit ### Access notes are optional ### Credentials deleted after the audit ### NDA available on request Need an NDA? ## Sensitive product? We can handle that before testing begins. We understand that many startups and businesses work with sensitive products and unreleased features. A mutual NDA can be provided upon request before testing begins. Our Commitment ## We stand behind the quality of every audit. If you believe important issues were missed within the agreed testing scope, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will review your feedback and perform an additional review where appropriate. ### Scope-based review Feedback is reviewed against the agreed scope and the product areas confirmed before testing began. ### Additional review where appropriate This is not a promise that every bug will be found or unlimited retesting. It is a commitment to handle scoped feedback professionally. Final check ## Find critical bugs before your users do. Send your product URL and launch context. Forge will review the highest-risk flows and contact you with the right QA testing path. [Request QA Review](https://forge-review.com/contact)
