Explore how Lossless QA can help youContents
Software has never been more essential… but current approaches to QA are holding us all back.
Businesses are facing a debilitating software QA bottleneck
Software is mission critical to every modern business—even yours.
What’s more, your customers expect your software to be of the highest quality.
They don’t care that you’re not a “software” company. If they experience critical errors, glitches, or even lag when interacting with your business, they’ll vote with their feet.
Worse still, while agile approaches to software development have made it possible to release highly complex software, fast—ensuring quality is still a major challenge.
Why? Because QA processes haven’t kept pace.
What’s wrong with QA?
Current approaches to QA are too slow, leaky, expensive, and error-ridden to deal with the complexity of modern, business-critical software.
What businesses need is a new approach to QA testing, one that empowers the QA setup they already have…
The biggest winners will be those that can stop the leakage in their QA process, increase their testing velocity—and by doing so, unlock their software development velocity.
Why hasn’t QA automation fixed it?
QA automation has advanced but in most cases, it’s just moved the QA pain-point, not treated it. This leaves businesses facing one or more of the four frustrations of QA automation…
-
Complex homegrown solutions
Without a connected approach to QA automation, businesses end up with complex, in-house QA automation frameworks, developed piece by piece by a series of different people.
The result? Even though they’re built using the best open-source QA automation frameworks available, the solutions themselves are full of leakage and inefficiency. They’re not scalable, are hard to maintain and use, aren’t based on best practices—and in the worst cases, can’t be updated.
-
Tech talent shortage
Finding expert developers (rather than QA developers) with the skill and inclination to take on QA automation, is hard. In a prolonged and global tech talent shortage, it’s near impossible.
The biggest software players (yes those ones) have the financial power to enlist expert developers and create QA automation that meets their demands. But that’s not the case for the vast majority of businesses.
-
Disempowered business testers
Software has become a customer-facing, front office concern for just about every business on the planet. That means SMEs, not developers, are often best placed to know which software features, functions, and behaviors will make their business most competitive.
The problem? These business testers lack the technological skill to write test scripts or scenarios using the complex QA automation platforms on the market.
-
Overpromising platforms
Many QA automation platforms claim to be a plug-and-play fix for all your QA problems. In reality, all they’ve done is accelerate the work that manual testing does (just like those projects that shifted to the “mini-waterfall” instead of agile). They haven’t created a version of QA automation that matches the way modern software is developed.
And some platforms simply don’t give businesses a clear enough picture of the areas in which they make an impact—which makes choosing the right one, impossibly hard.
Businesses are crying out for a new approach to QA automation that allows them to handle the complexity of modern software development.

Introducing Lossless QA
QA automation optimized for modern software development
Lossless QA is QA automation with no leakage. That means there’s no loss of quality, efficiency, empowerment, or clarity—regardless of the user's technical ability.
How does Subject7’s Lossless QA platform stop the leakage in QA automation processes?
It’s all down to three key features:
-
Dynamic abstraction
Our execution framework abstracts every test interaction for every type of test (across web, API, and desktop). This empowers users of all technical skill levels to author and execute tailored automation scenarios—at speed.
Every interaction no matter how complex, can be encapsulated in a building block which can then be uniformly repurposed by any user to build more complex test scenarios.
This empowers your business testers to take a leading role in the testing process—at a time when it’s never been more critical for them to do so.
A lack of technical knowledge shouldn’t mean a loss of QA empowerment.
-
Elastic extensibility
Out-of-box platforms carry the risk that at some point you’ll outgrow them—and switching providers results in a lot of lost time and resources.
That’s why we allow you to write custom plugins to cater to your specific QA automation needs as they evolve over time.
And to ensure there’s on loss of efficiency as you grow, we’ve given these custom plugins the same dynamic abstraction functionality as our out-of-the-box ones.
Out-of-the-box shouldn’t mean a loss of flexibility.
-
Standardized construction
We built our platform on the industry standards that QA teams are already using. The result? Your QA teams can bring all of that deep industry knowledge they’ve been accumulating their whole careers to bear on software quality.
This enables frictionless onboarding and easy adoption of our platform.
Out-of-the-box shouldn’t mean a loss of transferable skills or best practices.
