Story
Why Forge exists.
Startups often ship under pressure with limited QA time, unclear requirements, and a high cost for missed bugs. Forge gives teams a focused outside review before important launches, demos, and production releases.
About Forge
Built by QA professionals.
Forge is built and operated by Hayk Tshagharyan for software teams that need practical QA expertise before launch. The service combines AI-assisted planning, manual validation, and structured reporting without pretending every issue can be found.
