Discovery Call
A 30-minute conversation. No pitch, no slides. We talk through what you're building, where the risk actually sits, and whether there's a genuine fit. If there isn't, we'll tell you - honestly, and without wasting your time.

How we work
Where we intervene
Every engagement begins before a proposal or contract. We apply our thinking to your actual situation, and you see the output first.
About
Who we are
Kara Bash is a specialized software testing consultancy built on depth, not scale. We are brought in before launch to expose the risks that matter most - testing the critical user journeys, edge cases, and failure paths that could affect users, revenue, or operations. Clients engage us for an independent, senior-level verdict on whether their software is truly ready for production.
Our process
How it works
Free Diagnostic
If there's a fit, we don't ask you to sign anything yet. We pick one critical flow in your product - together - and test it: happy path, edge cases, failure points. You get a short, plain-language risk note on that one flow. Real work, done for free, so you can judge the quality before committing to anything.
Release Risk Review
This is where the full engagement begins. We assess your critical user journeys, edge cases, integrations, and failure paths - the ones most likely to hurt users, revenue, or operations if they break. Scope and price are confirmed upfront, based on your product's actual complexity.
Verdict & Handoff
You receive clear evidence of the issues that matter, a concise risk summary, and practical next steps your team can act on immediately. No jargon. No 40-page report nobody reads. Just an honest basis for your release decision.

MOST TESTING VENDORS
Who does the work
✓Senior judgment, not rented hours. You get a specialist who owns the outcome - not a tester you have to manage.
-Sell you hours and headcount, not an outcome.
Before you commit
✓Proof before you pay. We do real work on your product for free, before any contract exists.
-Ask you to sign before you've seen any real work.
Pricing
✓Fixed price, fixed scope. What we agree on upfront is what you get - no surprises later.
-Let scope creep, so the invoice grows with it.
Testing approach
✓Built for how fast you actually ship. We test the flows that matter most, not a generic checklist.
-Apply the same generic checklist, regardless of your pace.
The verdict
✓An honest verdict, even when it's “not ready.” We're not here to upsell you - we're here to tell you the truth.
-Tell you what keeps the contract moving.
