We find the friction costing you perpetual revenue.
Exploratory and chaos testing that finds what automated suites and standard checklists cannot catch, the friction quietly costing you recurring revenue. Findings you can act on immediately. We beat automation, every time.
Your test suite passes. Your conversion still bleeds.
Automated suites verify what you already thought to check. Checklists confirm what you already knew to look for. But the defects that cost you customers, revenue, and reputation live in the places nobody scripted: the edge cases, the unexpected paths, the combinations your happy-path coverage never touches.
V12 Exploratory Testing hunts in exactly those places. Led by Joe VanOosterhout who has shipped millions of dollars of software at enterprise scale and knows where revenue actually leaks. Not more test cases. Sharper questions, asked of your product, before you lose customers when they are not answered.
Scoped. Sessioned. Actionable.
Engagements are sprint-based and are held quarterly. V12’s team puts an action plan together to cover your requested platforms.
We begin testing, overseen by Joe and V12’s senior delivery leadership. The chaos testing is controlled and every finding is validated before it reaches your leadership.
Time-boxed exploratory sessions, each with a clear mission and a documented trail. Every session produces evidence, not vibes.
Clear, prioritized findings with reproduction steps, impact assessment, and perceived severity your team can use to prioritize and make business decisions with.
Built for the moments quality actually decides.
V12 Exploratory Testing is not a replacement for your QA team. It is a precision strike capability you leverage if you truly want to validate your software and remove friction.
Before It Ships.
A major release, a new product, a re-design, or just because you move so quickly you need the extra burst of momentum. The moment when an escaped defect costs the most. We stress the release candidate the way production will, before production gets the chance.
- Major releases and new product launches
- Re-designs and migrations
- High-visibility feature drops
After It Hurt.
A production incident made it past every gate you had. We investigate how it escaped, what else is hiding in the same class of risk, and what your coverage is structurally blind to.
- Post-incident deep investigation
- Escaped-defect pattern analysis
- Coverage blind-spot assessment
Growing Faster Than Quality.
Your growth outran your quality practice. Every feature that ships untested is a new place for revenue to quietly leak. We add senior testing depth without the overhead of a permanent hire.
- Sprint-based testing capacity
- Senior depth without headcount
- Quality signal for leadership
Where Failure Is Expensive.
Payments, commerce, customer data, regulated workflows. Domains where a defect is not an inconvenience but a liability. We test with the seriousness the domain demands.
- Revenue-critical paths
- Customer data and account flows
- Integration and third-party seams
Fresh eyes. Not QA blind spots.
This is not commoditized, anonymous crowd-sourced testing. Every engagement is curated and quality-controlled by leadership with two decades of enterprise delivery behind it. Every V12 finding reflects how your product is actually experienced, not how a script assumed it would be used.
I’ve spent two decades on the delivery side of software; from United States Navy operations in the 5th Fleet to enterprise-scale digital transformations on an $8 billion+ global platform. I have owned releases where a single escaped defect would land in front of millions of customers overnight. That pressure teaches you where software actually breaks, and how to find it first.
No shortcuts, no fast track.
V12 is the playbook I wish someone had handed me.
