- The main financial score was calculated incorrectly, so users looked much worse off financially than they were.
- The help and support docs existed but no link anywhere in the product led to them.
QA testing for dev studios and agencies
I find the bugs in your builds before your clients do.
Send me the site or app before handover, after a release, or when something feels off. You get back the issues worth fixing, ranked by severity, before your client finds them.

What's covered
A real person using the product the way real users will.
Manual and exploratory testing of web apps, SaaS, Shopify stores and marketing sites. Fixed price, scoped in writing.
Core user flows
Sign-up, log-in, onboarding, checkout, payments in test mode, roles and permissions, cancel and delete.
Devices and browsers
Chrome, Safari and Firefox on desktop, plus Android phones and mobile screen sizes. Layout, navigation and touch targets.
Forms, links and tracking
I submit every form and check where it lands. Dead links, empty booking pages and missing analytics events get reported.
Numbers and data
Totals, scores and calculations checked against what they should be, not just whether they render.
Delivered your way
A written report, or bugs filed straight into your Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Trello or GitHub. Need to show your client? I'll put the report in your branding.
One retest round included
When your fixes are in, within 30 days, I retest every reported issue and confirm what's resolved. Further rounds are billed hourly.
Selected work
Bugs that would have reached users.
I'm a web developer by trade, and I've tested every product I've worked on.
- A critical security flaw, reported and fixed before release.
- Repeated errors in calculations and displayed data that would have misled operators relying on them.
- On mobile, the interactive map rendered above the navigation menu, cutting phone users off from the rest of the site.
What you get
Findings your developers can act on.
Every issue is written up like this, with steps, device, severity and a screenshot or recording, in a report or as a ticket in your tracker.

Sample issue · fictional project
Checkout: applying a discount code removes free shipping
- Environment
- Staging · Pixel 8, Android 15, Chrome
- Steps
- Add $105 of items to the cart.
- Go to checkout. Shipping shows "Free".
- Apply the code WELCOME10.
- Expected
- 10% off ($94.50) with free shipping kept. The store's policy is free shipping on orders over $100 before discounts.
- Actual
- $12.95 shipping is added, because the threshold is checked against the discounted subtotal.
- Impact
- Customers see the total go up after using a discount code, and abandon the cart.
- Evidence
- Screen recording and console log attached

About
One person, start to finish.
I'm Lauchie, a web developer based in Brisbane, Australia. I've tested everything from internal tools for equipment operators to public websites and pre-launch apps.
The same person reads your brief, tests your build and retests your fixes. The developer who built a feature is the worst person to test it, and that's the gap I fill for studios without a dedicated tester.
