Green Light is a dedicated manual QA partner for teams moving at AI speed. Real testers run your tickets through thoughtful, exploratory black-box testing — the kind of scrutiny that catches what automation misses. We clear your queue. You ship with confidence.
James helped us tease out numerous issues, both large and small. This process significantly improved our UI/UX, which would have taken much longer without your help. Definitely worth it! Thanks for being extremely thorough and professional.

AI-assisted development flipped the constraint. Engineers produce ten times the tickets. Founders become full-time QAs. Releases slow to the pace of whoever has time to click through the app tonight.
Founders triage at 11pm. Engineers context-switch out of flow. Shippable work sits in review columns, quietly losing momentum and compounding into release risk.
A dedicated QA lead runs your tickets daily. Clean passes are merged. Repro'd bugs come back with video, steps, and environment — ready to fix, not re-investigate.
We're not a tooling company. We're not selling you another dashboard. We're skilled human testers who treat your product like our own and tell you plainly whether it's ready to ship.
Real users poking your product with curiosity and intent — the kind of testing that finds the bugs no automated suite was ever asked to look for.
Each completed PR or ticket gets run against its acceptance criteria by a human, documented, and either green-lit or sent back with a clean bug report.
Before every release, we run a tailored sweep across your critical paths. Core flows stay green while you're busy shipping new surface area.
Safari, Chrome, Firefox. iOS and Android. Slow networks and weird screen sizes. We own the matrix so you don't have to.
A human signs off on every release candidate. Clear pass/fail, reasons when it's fail, and receipts for everything we tested.
Steps to reproduce, environment, expected vs. actual, console logs, a video. Every bug filed is a bug an engineer can fix without DM'ing anyone.
We embed with your team in days — not quarters. Here's the full arc, from kickoff to green-lit releases.
A kickoff call, access to your issue tracker and staging, a walkthrough of your product. We write the first pass of your test plan.
We run a pilot on live tickets. You tell us what matters, what's noise, and what "good enough" looks like for your team.
Daily ticket review in your tracker. Regression sweeps before releases. A standing QA presence in your Slack without the headcount.
Coverage map, bug metrics, flaky areas, and a straight recommendation on where your quality budget is best spent next month.
Flat monthly pricing. No per-bug billing, no surprise overages. Cancel or change tiers month to month.
Automated tests verify what you thought to test. AI reviews the code it wrote. Neither of them sits down with your product the way a real user will, notices the weird 0.5-second flash on slow networks, or finds the two-step path that causes your Stripe webhook to double-fire. Manual black-box testing complements your automated suite — it doesn't replace it.
We work inside your existing tools — Linear, Jira, GitHub, Shortcut, whatever you use. You don't adopt a new process; we show up in yours. Your engineers tag a ticket as ready for QA, we pick it up, run it, and either verify it or file a repro'd bug right there.
Every tester on Green Light is a vetted full-time employee. No sub-contractors, no marketplace labor, no 3am handoffs. You get the same faces on your product every day.
Two weeks, flat fee, full access to a Green Light tester working your real backlog. You see exactly what the service feels like before committing to a plan. If it doesn't click, you walk — no lock-in.
Yes. We sign NDAs up front and can work under custom access controls, dedicated staging environments, and on-prem where required. Talk to us about your specific compliance needs on the intake call.
Title, clear repro steps, environment (browser, OS, device, network), expected vs. actual behavior, a screen recording, console logs where relevant, and a severity assessment. Formatted for your tracker, ready for an engineer to pick up without a back-and-forth.
