InteractiveQA provides quality assurance (QA) testing services, specializing in finding bugs by simulating user behavior on various platforms and browsers. The testing process is comprehensive and can be time-consuming, requiring significant hours depending on the complexity of the site. QA testing is essential to ensure users perceive the site as valuable, and it is best conducted by specialized testers rather than developers or project managers.
