How many of the industries Edgescan lists also appear on QA Madness's industry list?

Two of the industries on Edgescan's published profile also appear on QA Madness's list, healthcare and ecommerce, checked 2 September 2026. Edgescan's list runs to four entries in total, banking, healthcare, ecommerce and telecom, checked the same date. QA Madness's list runs to seven, saas, ecommerce, fintech, healthcare, games, logistics and education, checked the same date. A buyer in banking or telecom finds that sector named on the security side of this pair alone. A buyer in saas, fintech, games, logistics or education finds it named on the QA side alone. An industry missing from a published list records what the catalog found stated, not a sector the vendor has never worked in.

Which client stages does QA Madness publish that do not appear on Edgescan's profile?

QA Madness's profile lists two client stages, startup and enterprise, checked 2 September 2026. Edgescan's profile carries no client stage entry at all, checked 2 September 2026, so the catalog records an unanswered field rather than a stated absence. A buyer at either end of that range should ask Edgescan for a recent engagement at a comparable stage, since a seed-stage estate and an enterprise estate differ in what an assessment has to cover before its findings mean anything.

Edgescan vs QA Madness

QA Rating is published independently, and its publisher owns no company listed in this catalog.

Edgescan meets none that QA Madness does not; QA Madness meets the conditions for Embedded team model and Automation first. The catalog has Certificates, Signs a BAA / GDPR DPA only for Edgescan, and Frameworks, Client stages, Published rates, Minimum project only for QA Madness. Neither publishes Onboarding, Crowd tester pool, Device lab, so the table cannot answer those.

Who each one fits

Edgescan answers a narrow question repeatedly: where an exposed system could be broken into, asked again as the perimeter changes. QA Madness answers a wide question occasionally, whether a release is fit to ship, with adversarial work inside that remit rather than defining it. A buyer with release testing already covered, wanting outside pressure on a live estate, shops on the first side; a buyer cutting the number of vendors between a commit and a shipped build shops on the second.

The device question goes unanswered on either profile, and it does not weigh the same on each. For work aimed at an internet-facing estate, handsets are beside the point. For work that has to show a release behaves on the phones customers carry, they are the point, and nothing published says whether that hardware exists or how current it is. The gap lands on the buyer trying to consolidate, since consolidating means asking the wider vendor to take on the part that needs hardware. Ask what devices are held, how often they are refreshed, and what happens when a defect arrives on a handset nobody owns. The device lab row is where a published answer would later be recorded.

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.

Edgescan

Edgescan meets no applicability condition in this catalog. That is a statement about what its published fields show, not about the company.

QA Madness

Both meet the conditions for 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 71% for Edgescan 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: Onboarding, Crowd tester pool, Device lab. 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 Edgescan profile and the QA Madness profile.

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.
