Your QA sucks?
You're not wrong. The question is whether you're fixing the right thing.
I'm a QA and Agile Delivery leader. I rebuild broken testing for engineering teams that have outgrown "developers develop, QA tests" but haven't replaced it with anything that works.
Your QA team isn't slow. Your process puts them last, starves them of context, and blames them for delays they didn't cause. That's a leadership problem wearing a staffing disguise.
AI can draft code and test cases. It cannot decide what “done” means for your product—or accept the release risk. If nobody owns that decision, you have scaled uncertainty rather than delivery.
One production incident costs more than a full QA audit. You've had more than one this quarter. The math isn't complicated.
If that rings a bell - get in touch. Otherwise, read about real Senior QA first.
