Senior QA leadership embedded with your team. Test strategy, regression suites, release gates, automation, exploratory testing, bug triage. Everything a real QA team does, delivered as a service.

AI-feature QA, included.

Shipping an AI feature? We bring 15 years of QA leadership plus a real eval discipline — DeepEval, promptfoo, golden sets, prompt regression — at no surcharge.

Compare to in-house: a QA director plus two engineers runs $400–600k/year fully loaded. Gloxx is $180k/year, ramped in two weeks, no headcount on your books. The math works because AI multiplies a small senior team into department-equivalent output. See the full retainer scope →

Software is shipping faster.
The QA gap is widening.

The global software-testing market is on track to grow from $48B in 2025 to $94B by 20301 — driven by automation and AI integration. 88% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function and 72% use generative AI2.

Reported AI-related incidents jumped 56% year-over-year to 233 in 20243. The EU AI Act's high-risk obligations begin landing in August 20264, with conformity assessments and post-market monitoring required for in-scope systems.

Most software companies are still figuring out QA for non-AI features. Layering AI on top — without an eval discipline, a release gate, or a refuse policy — is how you ship an incident to production. Gloxx is the team that runs the discipline, with the methodology published on this site so the buyer knows exactly what they're getting.

The gap between "engineers test it"
and "QA actually owns the release."

01

QA leadership, not a contractor pool.

You hire a senior QA lead with 15 years of experience, not a junior bench. The lead does the strategy, owns the release gate, and is on the call when something breaks in production. One accountable mind on your release path, every week.

02

AI is our leverage. You get the output.

A senior QA team multiplied by AI-augmented test authoring, eval running, bug triage, and release-gate work. That's how a small founder-led shop delivers what a 3-person in-house function would — at a third of the cost. The same leverage powers AI-feature QA for buyers who ship AI: evals, golden sets, prompt regression, work we've shipped on the release path of regulated products.

03

One flat number. No tier upsell.

$15k/month, month-to-month, cancel any month. No paid audits, no scoped projects, no monitoring add-ons hiding behind another invoice. The retainer is the offer. The math beats hiring in-house by 3–4x.
