Who each one fits
An embedded team is the same product in form wherever it is bought: people who join a release process and stay inside it. So what separates these firms is not what they sell but whose release process they are used to joining, and DeviQA does not put that on record.
The stage of company a vendor usually serves decides what its people walk into. Testers used to seed-stage products arrive expecting no test infrastructure and set about building some; testers used to established enterprises arrive expecting a release train, sign-offs and a toolchain already chosen, and their instinct is to fit into it rather than propose something. Habit is not quality. A mismatch costs a quarter spent arguing about process instead of finding defects.
Ask each side to describe its most recent engagement that began with no automation in place, then its most recent that joined a release process already running. The distance between those answers tells more than a stage label would: it exposes which situation the vendor treats as normal. Check it later against the client stages field, which is where a published answer would appear.
A tag is attached when the company's published fields meet its condition, never by judgement. Both lists come from the same closed vocabulary, so a tag missing from one side means the condition was not met, not that nobody looked.
DeviQA
QA Madness
QA Madness meets no applicability condition in this catalog. That is a statement about what its published fields show, not about the company.
Both meet the conditions for Embedded team model, Automation first, Security focus, Nearshore for the EU, so those conditions do not separate them.
Where the data runs out
Completeness against the 14 fields of the comparison checklist is 79% for DeviQA and 86% for QA Madness. A field is counted as filled when a source confirms it, so a gap means nobody published it.
Neither company has a value recorded for these fields: Certificates, Signs a BAA / GDPR DPA, Onboarding, Crowd tester pool. The table shows those rows empty rather than estimating them.
Field definitions and the completeness checklist are on the methodology page. The sources behind each field are listed on the DeviQA profile and the QA Madness profile.
Questions
- How many years separate the founding of DeviQA and QA Madness?
- DeviQA states 2010 as the year it was founded, per its own site, checked 2 September 2026. QA Madness states 2013 as its founding year, per its own site, checked 2 September 2026. Three years separate the two dates as each company records them. A stated founding year marks when a company was established, not when its current mix of services or delivery locations took shape.
- Is there a confirmed BAA or GDPR data processing agreement on file for DeviQA or QA Madness?
- DeviQA's profile carries no confirmed answer on signing a BAA or a GDPR data processing agreement, checked 2 September 2026. QA Madness's profile carries the same gap, no confirmed answer on either document, checked 2 September 2026. That document normally states what a vendor may do with regulated health data or EU personal data it touches while testing. A buyer routing PHI or EU personal data through either engagement enters the relationship without that clause already on file from either side. Ask for a signed BAA or DPA in writing before any regulated data reaches either vendor's testers, since a verbal assurance on a call carries no weight once testing has started.

Every fact about a company comes from a listed source. A field without a source stays empty. A certificate counts as confirmed only when a registry, certificate or auditor report backs it; a certificate the company only claims about itself is published separately, under that label. Vendors can request a correction at hello@qa-rating.com. A correction is applied when it comes with a public source.
