?? Why Your QA Total Cost of Ownership Keeps Ballooning (And How to Fix It) Even the most successful engineering leaders can mistake the cost of QA test creation for the total cost of ownership. But here’s the reality: QA is an ongoing investment, not a set-and-forget project. ?? As your test suite expands and release cadence increases, your total cost of ownership can skyrocket. ?? Test maintenance—investigating failures, fixing broken tests, and rerunning them—quietly consumes more time and budget than you might expect. ?? Traditional billing models like hourly or staff augmentation pass that cost variability onto you, making long-term planning tough. ?? Join QA Wolf co-founder and head of growth, Scott Wilson, to unearth the hidden costs of automated QA in this free webinar. ?? How Billing Models Shape the Total Cost of Ownership in QA In this presentation, you will: ? Learn why suite size and run cadence are the biggest drivers of QA costs ? See how different billing models impact long-term total cost of ownership ? Discover the secret to keeping your QA costs predictable Don’t miss this chance to make smarter, long-term decisions for your engineering team.

From Southern comfort at Olamaie to omakase at O by Brush, The Wolf Den's CTO/VPE meet-ups in Austin and Atlanta last week were incredible. The food was great, and the company was even better. Huge thanks to everyone who came out—it was so much fun catching up with familiar faces and meeting new ones as well. Can’t wait to be back in both cities next quarter!

I’m hosting a virtual AMA with Thomas Scialom, PhD, AGI Researcher at Meta AI, the first week of Feb. I’m really excited for this one. Thomas led research on the Llama family of models and is a pioneer in advancing open-source LLMs. Getting behind-the-scenes perspectives/predictions on Agents, AGI, and LLMs, should make for an interesting discussion. We’re saving a few seats for folks who aren’t already part of The Wolf Den. Sign-up link is in the comments if you want to grab a spot.

? Outsourced QA, reinvented: Experience the QA Wolf advantage in this webinar The cobbled-together tech stacks used by traditional outsourced QA services are inefficient, costly, and fall short of QA engineers' needs. We took a smarter approach. QA Wolf built proprietary technology aligning our incentives with our customers' needs and priorities. With this tech our QA engineers can deliver 80%+ automated end-to-end test coverage for our clients in just 4 months. In this free webinar, QA Wolf co-founder and CEO Jon Perl ?? demonstrates how the QA Wolf team has transformed what’s possible in QA automation. ??The secret to the QA Wolf team’s quick quality coverage is our three pillars of proprietary tech: 1?? AI-Native web-based platform: No more juggling separate tools like TestRail, Loom, and Github—our platform brings all of these together with AI to speed up test creation, diagnostics, and execution for our QA engineers. 2?? Scalable infrastructure for parallel testing: Learn how our test run infrastructure scales to run any sized test suite concurrently. 3?? 24/7 QA project management: With Task Wolf, our QA engineers can track the test health of hundreds of clients. This ensures we never miss a beat and provide quick response times. Watch this webinar for an exclusive inside look at the vertically integrated technology our teams use to bypass the headaches of traditional outsourced QA and offshore contractors.

It’s been a monumental year for?The Wolf Den, our engineering leadership community. Since launching earlier this year, we’ve: ?? Grown from zero to hundreds of members, connecting top engineering leaders from companies like Datadog, Atlassian, Stripe, and more. ??? Hosted 35 unforgettable events — from sunset helicopter tours over San Francisco and Michelin-starred dinners in Austin to electric Knicks games in NYC, with stops in every major tech hub along the way. ?? Welcomed iconic speakers like?Cassie Kozyrkov, Google’s first Chief Decision Scientist, and?Ivan Zhang, CTO & Co-founder of Cohere, for candid roundtables and insightful AMAs. ?? And, of course, we had a blast doing it. As we head into 2025, we’re scaling up and launching in new cities. January events are already on the calendar. Looking to expand your engineering leadership network while having actual fun? Follow?The Wolf Den?for updates on what’s coming next.
