Attico provides full-cycle quality engineering services integrated into your development process, including test strategy and test cases development, manual and automated testing. We help you achieve high product quality and accelerate releases while minimizing risks.
When testing is not integrated into development, defects can reach production and affect your platform. The later defects are discovered, the more costly and disruptive they become to fix. In addition, the lack of automation makes it difficult to safely validate new features without impacting existing functionality. This results in reduced platform stability, higher operational risk, and negative impacts on user experience.
If your company doesn’t have a proper QA process, technical and business problems start to appear. The product may become less reliable, eroding customer trust. New releases may break existing functionality, integrations with other systems become unstable, and the platform struggles to support innovations such as AI.
Attico delivers Drupal quality assurance engineering services designed to integrate with enterprise development processes. Our approach ensures quality and reliability throughout every stage and gives you control over your digital ecosystem.
Our team assesses the current process state and selects the optimal QA solution architecture tailored to your needs, with the right balance of manual and automated testing and the most suitable testing tools and methodologies. Then we build a roadmap for implementing these changes, aligned with your software development lifecycle.
Our specialists create an aligned testing plan, and outline the objectives, approach, and expected results to ensure everyone on the project understands what will be tested, how, and when, so the product is high-quality and ready for users.
The QA team reviews the documentation for new features from the beginning of the Agile development process. They help identify potential issues before any code is written, suggest improvements to the requirements, and prepare test cases in advance.
Our specialists create test instructions that show how to check each feature or process. Once a new feature is implemented in the code, the team records any issues and verifies that fixes don’t break existing functionality. The next step is to assess if the product meets quality standards.
The team plans regression testing in advance, both manual and automated, to ensure new updates don’t disrupt current functionality. Tests focus on clearly defined quality criteria. During testing, the QA specialists collect data and metrics on product quality, for using this info to improve the testing process.
The QA specialists define the test automation strategy and the scenarios to be automated. They create and run unit tests and visual regression tests for checking the interface. Test automation allows you to increase product quality and accelerate time-to-market.
We believe that quality, security, and performance should be built into the product from the very beginning — not added later in the development cycle. That is why our work is guided by a Shift-Left mindset across all project activities, from initial discovery and architecture planning to development, testing, and deployment.
By identifying risks, validating requirements, and aligning teams early, we prevent costly rework and ensure that every stage of delivery contributes to a stable, scalable, and secure solution.
Embedding testing into release cycles helps detect issues before deployment, reducing production bugs by 2x and restoring confidence in release quality.
Integrating quality engineering and testing into every stage of development and applying a risk-based approach to regression testing improves product stability, increases release confidence, and significantly reduces production issues.
Automated regression testing minimizes repetitive manual checks during releases, reduces operational costs, and accelerates delivery cycles.
Prioritizing testing of the most critical and high-risk scenarios helps detect issues early, preventing production incidents and improving the team’s confidence in deployments.
Early involvement of QA, structured regression testing, and automated checks allow teams to catch defects sooner, reducing bug-fix costs by up to 30% and lowering the effort required to resolve issues later in development.

What is Shift Left and Shift Right testing?
Two approaches that define when testing happens in the development process. Shift Left means testing starts as early as possible — at the requirements, design, and development stages — since the earlier an issue is found, the easier, faster, and cheaper it is to fix. Shift Right continues testing after release, in real-world conditions with actual users.
At which stages of the development process should testing activities be integrated?
Testing should be integrated across all key stages of development — from planning to Shift Right, which takes place after release. This approach helps catch issues earlier, reduces risks, and speeds up time-to-market.
What does a QA strategy include, and why is it important to define one early?
A QA strategy encompasses many elements, from product quality criteria and testing types to measuring testing effectiveness via metrics. The QA strategy definition helps to establish clear rules for all process participants and identify errors at the earliest stages, saving time and money on fixing them.
How do client-specific requirements influence the overall testing approach?
Client requirements help define what really matters: for some, it can be security, for others — usability. They also shape the tools and processes used, including any technology constraints. Based on client requirements, the team can decide whether to prioritize core features and a fast release or take a more thorough approach.
How do you measure the effectiveness of a QA strategy over time?
We measure the impact of a QA strategy on product stability, defect resolution speed, release velocity, and also how well it helps identify and prevent issues. Teams rely on QA metrics such as test coverage, automation rate, and the number of escaped defects to track performance over time.
How does test automation support frequent or continuous releases?
Test automation lets the team validate the product with every code change, which is especially important when updates are frequent or continuous. Releases stay fast because testing can be completed in minutes instead of hours or even days. Tests run the same way every time, without human error, which reduces the risk of accidentally missing even small issues.
How do you manage regression testing in a fast-moving development environment?
Most regression tests should be automated so they can run with every code change and deliver fast feedback. The focus is always on the most critical functionality first, so less important scenarios can be tested less frequently. Tests catch issues before they reach production. It’s also important to keep tests up to date, so they don’t validate outdated functionality.
How is accessibility testing performed, and what tools or standards does it follow?
Accessibility testing is done through manual review, automated tools, or testing with real users. It follows WCAG 2.2 standards, ARIA guidelines, and local requirements like EAA in Europe.
What features do on-demand Drupal QA services offer?
On-demand QA means that there is no necessity for a full-time staff. A team of testers joins a project only when needed. The specialists can quickly start working on a specific project, task, or stage of development, handling a full range of testing, supporting fast releases, and providing complete analytics and reports.
How to scale QA with managed services?
An external team takes over part or all of the testing process and uses its established tools to help scale resources up or down based on project needs. Additional QA specialists can be brought in when the workload increases before a release. Instead of hiring and searching for different experts in-house, there is immediate access to a wide range of expertise. All processes are supported with clear reporting and analytics.
How is manual and automated testing integrated into your development process?
We integrate quality assurance throughout the entire development lifecycle rather than treating it as a final step. Manual testing validates user experience, business logic, and exploratory scenarios, while automated tests continuously verify critical functionality, regressions, and performance. By embedding QA into every development sprint and CI/CD pipeline, we identify issues early, reduce release risks, and deliver faster, more reliable software.
