A QA engineer who joins your team, not a vendor queue

## Embedded QA teams that work inside your sprint

Most outsourced QA sits outside your sprint and hands defects back on its own schedule. GoGreenlit embeds a QA engineer directly into your ceremonies, standups, planning, and retros, so testing runs on your team's clock, not a vendor's.

## What embedded QA looks like in practice

Not a vendor waiting on a status update, a member of the team who happens to specialize in testing.

## Embedded QA vs a testing factory

The difference isn’t effort, it’s whether the person testing your product understands why it was built that way.

## How an embedded engagement starts

1.  1
    
    ### Discovery call
    
    A 30 minute conversation about your stack, release cadence, and where testing is falling through the cracks today.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Week one ramp
    
    Your engineer gets tool access, reviews the codebase and existing test documentation, and joins their first sprint ceremonies.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Full sprint participation
    
    By week two, your engineer is writing test cases in planning and executing them alongside development, a full member of the team.
    

## Engagement models

Determined on the discovery call, based on your team size and release cadence, not a fixed package.
