Independent launch-readiness testing

Your AI-built app may look ready. Let’s find out if it is.

Launch Inspector provides human-led requirements review, risk-based testing, defect reporting, and retesting for vibe-coded and AI-built applications—before your customers discover what was missed.

Built with AI. Inspected by 30+ years of software quality experience.

The quality gap

AI made building software easier. It did not make knowing whether the software is correct any easier.

A polished interface and a successful demo do not prove that an application is complete, safe to use, or ready for paying customers. The most serious problems are often hidden in unclear requirements, edge cases, permissions, failed workflows, and changes that break something else.

01

Missing requirements

The coding AI can only implement what was clearly requested. Important rules, failure paths, and user expectations may never have been defined.

02

False confidence

The happy path works in a demo, but duplicate data, expired links, invalid inputs, payment changes, and recovery workflows remain untested.

03

Fix-and-break cycles

A prompt fixes one issue and quietly creates another. Without regression thinking, the application can become less reliable with every change.

The Launch Inspector process

We determine what the app should do, test what it actually does, and show you what matters before launch.

01

Requirements inspection

Your prompts, feature notes, workflows, pricing rules, user roles, and expectations are reviewed for completeness, ambiguity, contradictions, missing decisions, and testability.

02

Risk-based test planning

The inspection focuses first on what could cause lost revenue, unauthorized access, incorrect data, customer frustration, or a failed launch.

03

Hands-on application testing

Core workflows, negative scenarios, boundaries, permissions, data handling, error messages, recovery behavior, and likely regression areas are explored and documented.

04

Findings and correction guidance

Each material issue is prioritized with clear reproduction steps, evidence, expected behavior, launch impact, and guidance you can give back to your coding AI.

05

Retest and launch recommendation

Corrections are verified, likely regressions are checked, and remaining risk is summarized so you can make an informed launch decision.

What may be inspected

The parts of a SaaS app that are easy to overlook—and expensive to get wrong.

The exact scope is tailored to the application, its risk, and its launch stage.

Registration, login, verification, and account recovery
User roles, permissions, and customer data separation
Subscriptions, trials, upgrades, downgrades, and cancellation
Core workflows, saving, editing, deletion, and duplicate actions
Invalid inputs, boundaries, interruptions, and abandoned workflows
Email notifications, confirmation behavior, and failed delivery paths
Administrative functions and unintended exposure
Mobile usability, errors, recovery, and likely regression risks
What you receive

Clear answers, usable evidence, and a prioritized path to launch.

R

Requirements findings

Confirmed requirements, gaps, ambiguities, contradictions, untestable language, assumptions, and launch-blocking questions.

T

Risk-based test coverage

A practical record of what was tested, why it mattered, and how each important requirement was evaluated.

D

Prioritized defect report

Launch blockers, major defects, minor issues, evidence, reproduction steps, expected results, and business impact.

AI

Correction guidance

Clear, paste-ready instructions that help you explain the required behavior to the coding AI without losing the original intent.

Retest results

Verification that fixes work, plus focused checks for the kinds of regressions those changes may have introduced.

L

Launch recommendation

A concise assessment of what should be fixed before launch, what can wait, and what residual risks remain.

Experience behind the inspection

Built with AI. Inspected by experience.

Launch Inspector is led by Michael R. Williams, a software quality professional with more than 30 years of experience evaluating complex systems, identifying defects, analyzing requirements, testing edge cases, and communicating release risk.

His career spans the full range of software quality work—from junior tester and hands-on test engineer to QA lead, principal-level responsibilities, and managing the test department for a large, multi-million-dollar Department of Defense contract.

The goal is not to replace human testing with AI. It is to combine experienced human judgment with AI-assisted analysis, organization, and reporting.

Frequently asked questions

What a Launch Inspection is—and what it is not.

Is this an automated testing service?

No. The service is human-led. AI may assist with organizing requirements, generating additional scenarios, documenting findings, and preparing reports, but experienced human judgment drives the inspection and final conclusions.

Do I need formal requirements documents?

No. Prompts, feature lists, screenshots, notes, development chats, or a walkthrough can provide a starting point. Part of the inspection is identifying what is missing, unclear, contradictory, or assumed.

Can you guarantee that my application has no defects?

No responsible tester can guarantee that software is defect-free. A Launch Inspection reduces uncertainty by applying a documented, risk-based review and clearly describing the areas tested and the risks that remain.

Is this a penetration test or compliance certification?

No. Obvious authorization, privacy, and data-exposure concerns may be identified during functional testing, but the service is not a formal penetration test, legal opinion, regulatory certification, or guarantee of security.

What access will you need?

That depends on the application. A staging or test environment, test accounts, and relevant prompts or requirements are preferred. Production credentials and real customer data should not be shared unless specifically necessary and appropriately protected.
