Story
Why Forge exists.
Startups often ship under pressure with limited QA time, unclear requirements, and a high cost for missed bugs. Forge gives teams a focused outside review before important launches, demos, and production releases.
About Forge
Built by QA professionals.
Forge is built and operated by Hayk Tshagharyan for software teams that need a practical human QA review before launch. The service combines AI-assisted planning, manual QA execution, and professional reporting without pretending every issue can be found.

Forge helps teams understand the most important product bugs, usability risks, and release blockers before users find them. The outcome is a clearer decision about what to fix next.
Focused scope
Testing is centered on the release flows and risks that matter most.
Manual execution
A QA engineer performs the product review and validates findings.
Clear evidence
Issues are documented with severity, reproduction steps, and context.

Real Human Review
Every report is reviewed by a QA engineer before delivery.
AI helps with planning and report structure, but Forge relies on human QA judgment to validate findings, assess risk, and keep the final report practical.

Additional review where appropriate

Why Forge?
Structured like a product audit, not a loose bug hunt.
Forge combines AI-assisted planning, manual testing, expert validation, and decision-ready reporting so teams can understand what matters before they ship.
AI-Assisted Planning
Requirements are turned into focused test ideas, edge cases, and risk areas before testing begins.
Manual QA Execution
A QA reviewer still performs the audit. AI helps organize coverage; it does not replace human judgment.
Professional Reports
Findings are written for product and engineering teams with clear severity, steps, evidence, and next actions.
AI-Accelerated Delivery
AI helps generate test plans and structure reports, reducing turnaround time without sacrificing quality.
Human QA Expertise
Every audit is reviewed and validated by a QA engineer before delivery.
Launch Readiness Focus
The report helps teams decide what to fix now, what to monitor, and what risk remains before release.
