Everything you need to run the engagement smoothly

  • Dedicated to your product

    The tester works only on your product, not spread across other clients' releases.

  • Direct communication

    You and your team talk to the tester directly, with no extra layer in between.

  • Flexible contracts

    Full time, part time, or scoped to a release. Scale up or down with notice.

  • Test case documentation

    Test plans and case libraries are maintained and handed over, not kept in someone's head.

  • Timezone overlap

    Working hours arranged to overlap with your team for release windows and triage.

  • No-cost replacement

    If the tester is not the right fit, we replace them at no extra cost during the engagement.

Why teams hire manual testers through TCB Infotech

  • We ship our own releases

    We run test cycles on our own ERP and software builds, so our testers are screened on real defects, not trivia.

  • Fast, honest shortlisting

    You see 2 to 3 profiles, not a stack of resumes, and we tell you plainly if a fit is not right.

  • Direct access, no relay

    You and your team work with the tester directly, on your tools and your release calendar.

  • Coverage you can keep

    Test cases and defect history are documented and handed over cleanly if the engagement ends.

  • No long lock-in

    Scale the engagement up or down with notice, based on your actual release calendar.

Hiring manual testers, answered

What does a dedicated manual tester do?

They run exploratory testing, execute scripted test cases, log defects with clear reproduction steps, and give release sign-off based on what they actually saw in the product, not just what a script checked.

How is a manual tester different from an automation tester?

An automation tester builds scripts that repeat the same checks on every build. A manual tester explores the product the way a real user would, which is how most usability issues and edge cases are found. Most teams need both.

Can a manual tester also write test cases and documentation?

Yes. Manual testers write and maintain test case documentation, test plans, and defect reports as part of the engagement, not as a separate add-on.

Do you provide testers for exploratory testing or only scripted test cases?

Both. Most engagements mix scripted regression coverage with dedicated exploratory sessions before each release, since the two catch different kinds of issues.

What is the engagement model?

You can hire full time, part time, or scoped to a release cycle. Contracts scale up around major releases and down between them.

What if the tester is not the right fit?

We replace the tester at no extra cost during the engagement, and hand over test cases and defect history to the new one.
