Find Your Test Coverage Gaps in 3 Days

A structured audit of your entire QA stack — manual tests, automation, CI/CD integration, and AI readiness — with a prioritised risk register and sprint plan.

Duration: 3 days Team: 1 Senior QA Engineer
The Challenge

You might be experiencing...

We have tests, but I honestly don't know what percentage of our product they actually cover — and neither does anyone else on the team.
Our CI pipeline runs green, but bugs keep reaching production. Something is clearly not being tested, but we can't see what.
We're about to hire our first QA engineer and need to understand what state our testing is actually in before we write a job description.
Investors asked about our QA process during due diligence and we had to improvise an answer — that can't happen again.

The QA Coverage Audit is the fastest way to understand your test coverage risk — and the entry point for every remote.qa engagement.

What the Audit Covers

Most engineering teams have some form of testing. Few have a systematic view of their QA coverage across all the layers where software fails:

Unit & integration layer — Do your tests cover the right code paths? Are they testing behaviour or just implementation? Unit test counts are misleading — coverage quality matters more than coverage percentage.

E2E & user journey layer — Are your critical user flows tested end to end? End-to-end test automation gaps are the most common source of bugs that reach production — and the most expensive to fix after the fact.

CI/CD & pipeline layer — How fast do your tests run? How often do they flake? A slow or unreliable pipeline erodes developer trust in testing and leads to skipped test runs.

Why Start Here

The QA Coverage Audit gives you three things you cannot get from internal review:

  1. A coverage heatmap — not a percentage, but a visual map of which product areas are well-tested and which are exposed.
  2. A risk register — gaps ranked by business impact, not just technical severity.
  3. A sprint roadmap — the exact QA work that addresses your top risks, scoped and ready to execute with remote QA engineers.

For teams preparing for fundraising, enterprise sales, or rapid scaling, the audit provides the foundation for a QA strategy that grows with your product.

Our Approach

Engagement Phases

Day 1

Test Inventory & Stack Review

We catalogue every test asset you have: unit tests, integration tests, E2E scripts, manual test cases, and CI/CD pipeline configuration. We map each against your product surface area to identify what is covered and what is not.

Day 2

Gap Analysis & Risk Scoring

Hands-on review of your test quality, flakiness rate, execution time, and coverage distribution. We score each product area by risk — combining business impact with test coverage density to surface your highest-risk blind spots.

Day 3

Report & Sprint Recommendations

Delivery of a structured QA Coverage Report: every gap categorised by severity, root cause, and recommended remediation. Sprint recommendations map each gap to the specific remote.qa service that addresses it.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What access do you need to run the audit?

We work from your test repositories, CI/CD configuration, and a structured intake questionnaire. We do not require access to production systems or customer data. For teams comfortable sharing more, we can review test execution logs, coverage reports, and monitoring dashboards directly. The audit is designed to be low-friction and fully async — most teams complete the intake in under 90 minutes.

What happens after the audit?

You receive a QA Coverage Report with sprint recommendations. You choose whether to act on any of them — there is no obligation. For teams that proceed, the audit findings directly scope your first engagement, eliminating wasted effort on areas that are already well-tested.

Is this useful if we already have a QA team?

Yes. Internal QA teams benefit most from an external coverage audit — it surfaces blind spots that are invisible when you are inside the codebase every day. We frequently find that teams with strong unit test coverage have critical gaps in integration and E2E testing, or vice versa.
