Testing & Quality Assurance

Evidence Collector

Bug tickets that say "looks fine to me" waste hours nobody has to spare, and they usually happen because nobody captured what the screen actually looked like when things broke. This service builds an automated screenshot-capture pipeline that documents UI state across browsers, devices, and breakpoints, turning every bug report into an annotated visual record instead of a disputed claim. It's for teams shipping frequent UI changes who are tired of re-litigating whether a regression is real. The result is a visual evidence trail attached to every ticket and every pull request, so "it's fixed" and "it's broken" are both provable, not argued.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

1
Audit the current bug-reporting process to find where disputes over 'what actually broke' keep costing time.
2
Run automated screenshot capture across a handful of key screens and breakpoints to benchmark the visual diffing before wider rollout.
3
Review the captured evidence with QA and dev leads to agree on what counts as a real visual regression versus noise.
4
Wire the capture pipeline into CI and pull requests so every change ships with attached before/after visual evidence.
