CI/CD RELEASE GATE • HEADQUARTERED IN EDMONTON

Who's Playing Goalie on Your Releases?

Post a Shutout on Silent Pipeline Failures.

Your teams and AI coding tools ship faster than anyone can review. SwiftQA is the goalie at your release gate: it generates the tests from your specs and shows you the risk before a release reaches production.

API, UI & Load Suites (OCT): Generates API and Locust/k6 load tests from OpenAPI, Swagger, or Postman, and Playwright UI tests from Gherkin scenarios.
Release Risk Visibility (Insights, Early access): Shows business risk, critical journeys, and flaky-test gaps from the test results your CI already produces.
WCAG Accessibility Audits: Automated WCAG checks plus human review by our team, with findings and recommended fixes.

🇨🇦 Built in Edmonton  |  20+ years of software testing

Enterprise teams are deploying AI-generated code and microservices faster than legacy governance can track. SwiftQA provides the sovereign risk auditing layer that prevents payload drift, blocks logic regressions, and stops silent defects before data touches production tables.

The Era of Risk Auditing

Moving from an outdated "test factory" mindset to high-stakes architectural inspection. We stop regressions in the raw data exchange before they trigger regulatory, financial, or operational liabilities.

THE CORE PROBLEM

Most defects reach production through the release, not the database.

Schema drift, broken payloads and race conditions slip through when tests lag behind the code.

TOO SHALLOW

Legacy QA

Clicks UI buttons and inspects pixel states, remaining completely blind to backend payload drift and broken schema contracts.

Blind spot: API contracts & payloads
TOO LATE

Downstream Observability

Alerts data teams hours or days after corrupted payloads and truncated JSON structures have already contaminated the warehouse.

Detection lag: hours to days
RELEASE GATE

SwiftQA at the release gate

OCT generates API, UI, and load tests from your specs and Gherkin scenarios; Insights (early access) shows release risk from your CI results before code ships.

Enforced at: CI/CD release gate

You cannot observe your way to data integrity. You enforce it at the gate.

EXPLORE THE 4-LAYER INSPECTION MODEL
DOWNSTREAM RECOVERY REALITY

The Multimillion-Dollar Escape

When an undetected schema drift or truncated monetary payload poisons warehouse tables, the enterprise incurs costly downstream recovery in emergency hotfix war rooms, tainted ETL re-runs, regulatory compliance breach audits, and permanent customer trust erosion.

Detection lag: Hours to weeks • Reactive triage
SWIFTQA CREASE DEFENSE

Pre-Merge Shutout

SwiftQA audits every incoming transactional JSON payload directly against OpenAPI contracts pre-merge. The corrupted pull request is halted with actionable diff telemetry before merging.

SWIFTQA CORE CAPABILITIES

Tests from your specs, at the release gate

From API files and Gherkin scenarios to validated Playwright and API suites in one workflow. OCT generates the tests, validates each scenario against your running app, and runs them on runner pools triggered by your CI/CD pipeline.

From your API files

API test suites generated from OpenAPI, Swagger, or Postman files, including negative and edge cases.

OpenAPI Swagger Postman

UI tests from your scenarios

UI tests from Gherkin scenarios; each scenario is validated against your running app before it's marked ready. BDD drafts from your requirements are in early access.

Gherkin BDD drafts: Early access

Playwright Engine Integration

SwiftQA explores your running app to find its elements, then generates Playwright tests and checks their syntax.

Locators Syntax Check Playwright

Runner Pools & CI/CD Triggers

Your CI/CD pipeline triggers the tests on runner pools, and Insights reads the results your CI already produces.

RELEASE READINESS

From test results to release decisions

Turn the test results your CI already produces into clear release readiness—no new test framework needed.

01
PILLAR 01

Criticality per journey

Targets by Risk Tier

Classify journeys as Critical (100% target), High (98%), Medium (95%), or Low (90%), with states On target, Watch, At risk, Breach, and No tests.

02
PILLAR 02

Can we trust the green?

First-Attempt vs. Retries

Compares tests reported green by the CI with tests green on the first attempt, so retries can't hide flaky tests.

03
PILLAR 03

Load tests from the same files

Locust & k6

Generate Locust and k6 load test suites directly from the same OpenAPI, Swagger, or Postman API files.

04
PILLAR 04 Early access

Executive Risk Heatmaps

Insights for Managers

Release readiness and test health by application or capability and criticality, plus drag-and-drop TV panels that refresh every 5 minutes.

INSIGHTS Early access

Stop reading green checkmarks. Start reading release risk.

Insights reads the test results your CI already produces and gives managers a single release-readiness view—no new test framework needed.

  • Business risk gauge: Low below 2%, Moderate 2% to 15%, High above 15%, plus the number of Critical tests failing.
  • Critical journeys: Protected, flaky, failing, not running, or skipped.

Risk heatmap by application or capability and criticality—with targets of 100% (Critical), 98% (High), 95% (Medium), and 90% (Low).

Questions about SwiftQA

Clear answers on OCT test generation, Insights release readiness, WCAG accessibility audits, and Zero-Defect.

Machine-readable documentation for AI crawlers & agents: llms.txt
01 What are the three products in SwiftQA?

SwiftQA has three products engineered by Zero Defect Test House Inc.:

  • OCT (Available): Generates API and UI test suites from your specs and BDD scenarios, plus Locust and k6 load tests.
  • Insights (Early access): Shows release readiness and test health for managers from the test results your CI already produces.
  • WCAG (Available): Checks web applications against WCAG guidelines with automated checks plus human review.
02 How does OCT generate API, UI, and load tests?

OCT generates API test suites (including negative and edge cases) and Locust and k6 load tests from OpenAPI, Swagger, or Postman files.

For UI tests from Gherkin scenarios, OCT analyses the scenarios (parses them, maps pages and flows, extracts step details and test data, audits the journey), explores the running app to find its locators, generates Playwright tests, and validates the syntax. Each scenario is validated against the app before it's marked ready, and tests run on runner pools started by your CI/CD pipeline triggers.

03 How do Test flows, secrets, and BDD drafts work?

Test flows (early access) is OCT's scenario editor. Steps share reusable code, and any step can be given its own code. Passwords and keys stay out of scenarios: steps use named secrets kept in project settings.

BDD drafts (early access) drafts Gherkin scenarios from your requirements so teams can review and validate them before test generation.

04 Does Insights require a new test framework?

No. Insights (early access) reads the test results your CI already produces. It surfaces a business risk gauge (Low below 2%, Moderate 2% to 15%, High above 15%, plus Critical tests failing), critical journeys (protected, flaky, failing, not running, skipped), and a risk heatmap by application or capability and criticality (targets: Critical 100%, High 98%, Medium 95%, Low 90%; states: On target, Watch, At risk, Breach, No tests).

It also compares tests reported green by the CI with tests green on the first attempt ("Can we trust the green?"), tracks open incidents and incidents restored in the last 30 days, and supports drag-and-drop panels with a full-screen team TV view that refreshes every 5 minutes.

05 What does the WCAG accessibility product include?

SwiftQA WCAG checks web applications against the WCAG guidelines using automated checks plus human review by our team. The deliverable is a clear report listing findings and recommended fixes.

06 Who is behind SwiftQA?

SwiftQA is built and operated by Zero Defect Test House Inc. (www.zero-defect.ca), founded in 2004 as a Hewlett-Packard (HP) / PUCRS technology transfer spin-off. Zero-Defect has its international headquarters in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and US operations in Coral Gables, Florida.
