Dedicated manual QA testers for your offshore team.
Offshore manual QA testers in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, working full time on your product and managed by us. A manual QA tester finds what automation misses: visual defects, confusing flows and the unusual sequences no test script covers.
One fixed monthly fee, with the hiring, managing and training of the testers handled by us in Thailand.
This role is part of a dedicated QA and test automation team. It's staff augmentation, fully managed: take one role on its own, or the whole area as one delivery team.

What a Manual QA Tester does on a dedicated QA and testing team.
They test each feature as it lands in your sprint, on real browsers and devices. Evidence goes on every ticket, so your own developers can act on it.
Manual QA Tester skills and technologies
-
Exploratory testing against new features, following the product rather than a script.
-
Acceptance testing against requirements, with clear evidence attached to each ticket.
-
Cross-browser and cross-device checks where real hardware behaviour differs from emulation.
-
Accessibility checks with a screen reader, which automation catches only partially.
-
Verifying fixes, so a ticket marked done has been confirmed.
Manual QA Tester seniority levels.
Junior to mid-level. The role rewards curiosity and product knowledge more than seniority. That keeps the level modest, which matters for how the monthly fee is built.
When your team needs a Manual QA Tester.
Often added alongside automation to cover the areas scripts deliberately leave out. The tester works with a QA or test automation engineer in a dedicated QA and testing team. Manual testers fit companies that hire offshore developers for consumer-facing products, where real devices and real flows matter most.
What we look for in a dedicated Manual QA Tester.
We look for testers with an eye for detail and a habit of asking what happens if. Written English matters, because every defect report has to make sense to a developer they have never met. Product knowledge grows fast when someone is this curious.
A remote Manual QA Tester's first three months on your team.
- Weeks 1 to 2Learning the product and its users, and testing features in the current sprint.
- Weeks 3 to 6Running exploratory and acceptance testing on their own, with clear evidence on every ticket.
- Months 2 to 3Covering cross-device and accessibility checks and verifying every fix.
Questions about adding a Manual QA Tester to your team.
Is manual testing still worth it?
Yes. Automation confirms what you already thought to check. Exploratory testing finds what the scripts never looked for: confusing flows, visual defects, odd sequences and real-world device quirks. The two work best together, with manual testing focused on new features and the areas where users are most likely to stumble.
How do you report defects?
With reproduction steps, environment details, expected and actual behaviour, and screenshots or recordings attached, so a developer can act without follow-up questions. Defects are logged in your own tracker, with severity agreed with your team, and the tester verifies each fix before the ticket is closed.
