How RAITHub keeps regressions out of production: the test pyramid, what blocks a release, and the measured test counts behind the platforms we built.
A pass-or-fail QA checklist for a multi-vendor marketplace before sellers sign up: vendor data isolation, split orders and payouts, commission maths, refunds and disputes, and the automated tests that keep each one working after every release.
Read articleA B2B portal is not a consumer store with a login. Trade pricing, credit limits, approval workflows, buyer-account isolation and bulk ordering are the features, and the bugs. The QA plan that proves a buyer sees only their own prices and orders, cannot exceed their credit, and cannot read another account.
Read articleA pre-launch QA test plan for a PropTech app, built around the four places property software loses money or leaks data: the listing lifecycle, rent and deposit payments, role-based access for landlords, tenants, agents and admins, and document access. Includes a role matrix, a Playwright example and how RAITHub would test it.
Read articleA QA test plan for a tenant portal SaaS, covering the flows that break once real tenants log in: the invite and first-login path, data isolation so one tenant never sees another, rent payments, maintenance requests, document access and notifications. Includes an isolation SQL test, a role matrix and how RAITHub would test it.
Read articleA QA test plan for a short-let or booking platform, built around the bug that costs the most: double-booking. Covers concurrency tests that prove two guests cannot book the same nights, calendar and time-zone edge cases, payments and holds, cancellation and refund rules, and how RAITHub would test it. Includes a Playwright concurrency example.
Read articleA pre-launch QA test plan for a HealthTech app, focused on the engineering you can test: access control so only the right people reach patient data, audit logging, consent handling, encryption in transit and the data edge cases. It is engineering guidance, not compliance advice: whether your product meets HIPAA, GDPR or any regime is for your compliance adviser.
Read articleA QA test plan for a telehealth platform, across the three journeys that carry the most risk: appointment booking with no double-booking, the video consultation and its failure modes (device, network, join and reconnection), and record access scoped to the clinician-patient relationship. Engineering guidance, not compliance advice.
Read articleA pre-launch QA test plan for a FinTech app, built around the four places money quietly goes wrong: how money is represented (integers, not floats), ledger integrity so the books always balance, idempotent transactions so a retry never double-charges, and reconciliation against the provider. Engineering guidance, not compliance advice. Includes a SQL balance check.
Read articleA provider-agnostic guide to testing a payment flow end to end, organised by business outcome rather than by API: the failure cases that silently cost money, from double charges and abandoned checkouts to wrong totals, refunds, disputes and reconciliation. Includes a failure-case table, a Playwright example and what belongs in CI.
Read articleTax and shipping maths fails quietly: a rounding rule that overcharges by a cent per line, a discount applied on the wrong side of tax, a free-shipping threshold that counts the wrong total. A test plan with concrete cases, so the number the shopper pays is the number you can defend.
Read articleThe bugs buyers actually hit on a property portal are in search and filters: a price range that excludes the boundary, a map that drops results at its edge, facet counts that lie, and sort that shuffles between pages. A reusable test plan for a portal’s search, whoever built it, with Playwright examples and the edge cases that lose listings.
Read articleAn inspector works in an empty flat with no signal, takes forty photos, and expects none of it to vanish when they walk back into range. A QA test plan for a property inspection app, which RAITHub tests rather than builds: offline capture, photo integrity, sync conflicts and GPS, with the real-device edge cases that lose work. Pairs with the wider PropTech launch testing.

Read articleA short list of QA metrics worth tracking and a shorter list to drop. The ones that matter measure what reaches users and how fast you recover: escaped defects, change failure rate, failed-deployment recovery time and pipeline time. Test count, raw coverage percentage and pass rate look reassuring and tell you almost nothing. With definitions, how to read each, and the traps.

Read articleA green test suite and a broken app can coexist. AI-written tests check that the code does what the code does, from the same prompt that wrote the code, so they pass while the real bugs ship: usability, edge cases, the second user, the declined card. Here is why it happens and the human checks that find what AI tests cannot.
Read articleAI can check that a button works. It cannot tell you that nobody can find the button. Usability testing is a human watching a real person try to finish a real task in your AI-built app: where they hesitate, misread, give up. Here is how to run it yourself, what it catches that automated tests never will, and when to hand it to a tester.
Read articleUsers rarely rage-quit; they quietly leave and never come back. In the first five minutes they hit a confusing sign-up, a slow first screen, a form that rejects their details, an empty dashboard that looks broken, or a payment that silently fails. AI-built apps leak here because the tools never saw a real person struggle. Here is how to find each reason before the user does.
Read articleVibe-coded apps break in predictable places: data access, payments, empty states, mobile layout and the paths nobody prompted. This is a bug-hunting method that finds those failures before your customers do, with the exact things to try, a cross-user test you can run, and the signs you need a tester.
Read articleReal-user testing and AI testing answer different questions. AI checks that the code does what the code does, fast and on every change. A real person checks whether the app can actually be used, and finds the usability, trust and edge-case failures AI reads past. A side-by-side on where each wins, and how to use both.

Read articleBolt.new runs your app inside a WebContainer in your browser, then hosts it on Bolt Cloud. That gap is where most of its launch bugs live: Safari and phones nobody opened, a database with no restore in version history, data rules the audit can flag but not design. A tool-specific test plan.
Read articleCursor and Claude Code write code inside your own repository, so QA belongs there too: tests the agent must pass before it stops, CI on every pull request, AI review as a first pass, a reviewer that did not write the code, and human testing of roles, payments and devices. With the config and the limits, from the vendors' own docs.

Read articleTen categories of bug that users and attackers find first in AI-built apps: phone layouts, missing emails, new-account dead ends, double submits, paid-but-no-access, data leaks, open admin pages, exposed keys, slow pages and fixes that break something else. Each has a source and a test.
Read articleBefore an AI-built app takes real money, find where the AI put the payment logic, then test seven things: the price comes from the server, access unlocks from a verified webhook, duplicates are ignored, declines and 3-D Secure behave, cancellations remove access, keys stay server-side, and live mode is really set up.
Read articleAI-built web apps break on phones for a short list of reasons: full-height layouts sized with 100vh, fixed widths that cause sideways scrolling, hover-only menus, small tap targets, inputs that zoom on iPhone, the on-screen keyboard covering buttons, and content under the notch. Here is how to find each one, and the fix.
Read articleAn AI-built app that feels instant in the demo can crawl with 100 real users. The usual causes are the same few patterns: browser-side query loops, unindexed row-level security, no connection pooling, unpaginated lists and AI calls inside the request. How to find them with realistic data and a k6 test.
