Notes from the build.
No fluff.

The builder's perspective on BYOK AI economics, modern QA tooling, MCP for testing, and the gap between dev tools and QA workflow. Honest, opinionated, written by someone shipping in this space.

Founder note

Why I built QA Hub: a TMS for QAs who already pay for AI

The story of how a frustrated QA architect ended up building yet another test management tool — and why "yet another" is wrong this time.

BYOK

The new TMS economics: why credit-metered AI is a tax on your team

Math on what your team actually pays for AI test generation under credit-metered TMS pricing vs BYOK. With real numbers, not marketing.

MCP

MCP for QA workflows: letting Claude Code drive your test suite

How an MCP server can scan your codebase, generate a Gherkin plan, sync to your TMS, and run Playwright — all from a single Claude Code chat.

CI

One CLI for every test framework: the case for framework-agnostic ingest

Why every TMS shipping a separate npm package per framework is solving the wrong problem — and how a single uploader changes the math.

AI generation

BDD vs structured test cases: when AI gives you each, and why

How LLMs choose between Gherkin and step-by-step format, what ISTQB rules to feed them, and the prompts that actually produce useful output.

Self-host

Self-hosting your TMS in 2026: Docker, Coolify, and your VPC

A practical guide for compliance-heavy teams that can't ship test data to a SaaS TMS — and why Coolify makes this 10× easier than it used to be.

Coming · Q3 2026
Metrics

The flaky-ratio metric: how to measure (and kill) test instability

Why pass-rate alone lies, how to compute a real flaky ratio across CI runs, and the threshold that separates a healthy suite from a fragile one.

Coming · Q3 2026
Workflow

Closing the bug-to-retest loop with live ticket sync

The pattern: poll Linear / Jira for status changes, auto-update test results, fire a notification when retest is due. The plumbing matters.

Coming · Q3 2026
Comparison

How QA Hub compares: traditional TMS, AI test agents, and DIY

When each category wins, when each loses, and how to pick based on your team's actual workflow — not the marketing pages. Honest, opinionated, and updated as the space evolves.
