OnPath Testing

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Accountable Live, a coaching program and community platform for ADHD founders.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with OnPath Testing?

I built the platform entirely using Vibe code with low-code and no-code. I had a vast mess of code and tech that needed to be cleaned up and organized. I needed to figure out how to make it stable and reliable and get into a regular testing and deployment cadence.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

OnPath Testing helps with testing, deployments, fixing bugs, developing new features if needed, setting up staging, setting up a dev environment, and setting up all the proper security and backup systems. Essentially, they’ve built all the infrastructure needed to have a reliable and mature dev process. Their work has made the infrastructure more stable and in order to reduce errors and constant breaking of the site.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from OnPath Testing.

How did you come to work with OnPath Testing?

OnPath Testing was a referral through a client of mine. I chose them because their pricing fit our budget, they had a great culture fit, they offered good value for the cost, and their company values aligned with ours.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in March 2026, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve seen a reduction in our rates, stability, vulnerability, and downtime. When I brought OnPath Testing in, we were constantly getting emails and messages that someone couldn’t log in or had an error. Now, we very rarely get that type of feedback. They’ve been very effective and efficient in helping us transition from a relatively homegrown DIY Vibe-coded platform to a more scaled and sophisticated infrastructure.

How did OnPath Testing perform from a project management standpoint?

OnPath Testing is very consistent with their time estimates and delivering on promises. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

OnPath Testing is very thoughtful and methodical. They adopt the latest tools and capabilities in AI, so they blend a traditional classic foundational approach with the latest tools and capabilities.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any.

How many teammates from OnPath Testing were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We requested that OnPath review our testing methodologies and processes in order to help us improve our internal capabilities and scale. We also engaged with OnPath to explore a deeper engagement where we would scale them into our agency to help handle larger workloads with their on-demand and dedicated QA testers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Not only did OnPath fail to provide any updates or explanations for their delays until deadlines were significantly missed, but their overall approach was marked by a lack of professionalism. When they did show up for consulting work, they were unprepared and had not reviewed our materials, systems, or processes. Instead of fostering a collaborative and solution-oriented environment, their workplace culture seemed to be driven by negativity, making it even more difficult to get productive results. We had to repeatedly reach out just to get basic updates, further highlighting their disregard for effective communication and accountability.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They failed to give us any updates or explanations for their delays until deadlines were greatly missed. They showed up to do consulting work unprepared and hadn't reviewed our materials, systems, or processes. We had to reach out to get updates. We had to do the project management for them. It was a surprising and disappointing failure.

What was your primary form of communication with OnPath Testing?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

OnPath sounded like a great match for us, we had a very similar cultural outlook and approach to business but sadly the results just didn't delivery. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something OnPath Testing could have done differently?

OnPath has undoubtedly talent amongst their ranks or they would not be where they are today, however that talent is currently overshadowed by what appears to be a lack of leadership, misaligned priorities and a prevalence of cultural-toxicity that leads to antagonizing relationships and failed outcomes.

Company Responses

The service provider responded on March 10, 2025.
We engaged this person's company for marketing purposes in 2024. They over-promised and under-delivered both in quality and timeliness of their deliverables, and my marketing manager was so upset she left a poor review. In exchange for this review, they've fabricated their own "revenge review" against our company OnPath Testing, for a fictional project. This is truly unfortunate, and indicates the complete lack of integrity, both professionally and personally, that this fellow believes is acceptable. I wish them all the best, but would advise against engaging with them or their team.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the senior product manager for Leesa Sleep, a mattress company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with OnPath Testing?

The main challenge we were looking to tackle was building our QA and testing department. When we started, we didn’t have a formalized QA and testing process or automation, which was challenging because we’d sometimes have bugs or have to do a rollback in our releases. In summary, we didn’t have a lot of confidence in the code we were building with the technology team.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

OnPath Testing developed the testing automation platform and the different critical scenarios we needed for verification. They also executed those tests for us and gave us the results. They started by identifying different scenarios to test. Then, we launched different phases of testing automation, introduced the developers to it, and started sending out reports with our release notes. We had several stages throughout the project, including building the platform, creating dozens of critical and non-critical testing scenarios, and setting up reporting.

Initially, we gave them documentation on our systems, platforms, software development process, and business information so they’d know which scenarios were the most critical. They first used JavaScript and then shifted to C#. In the end, we utilized a platform called Cypress for testing.

The platform’s main function was to test our shopping journey on our website to ensure customers could add products to the cart, check out, and engage with any critical tasks during the main shopping journey. OnPath Testing also ensured that the images and pages loaded quickly and appropriately. We also did some scenarios around integrations to ensure none of them could break and the code was stable whenever we did a release.

Additionally, OnPath Testing offered to maintain the platform. Before we finished our engagement, they trained our developers on how to maintain the platform and use it effectively. They showed us how to do everything ourselves.

What is the team composition?

We worked with three teammates for the project, including a QA specialist. We only had up to two resources at the time.

How did you come to work with OnPath Testing?

My boss came across their company. Lon (Director of Operations) and Brian (President) were the initial contacts.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent roughly $100,000. We didn’t invest much in the platform; most of the cost was for the resources.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them from January–November 2022. We paused our service with them due to budgetary issues.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

When we started, we had bugs and rollbacks, and we didn’t have any at all by the end of the project. OnPath Testing created around 35 scenarios for our testing automation. In the last few releases, we had 100% success on all the critical and non-critical testing scenarios, so we got to a really good place thanks to them.

How did OnPath Testing perform from a project management standpoint?

They performed really well. We often had sync-ups to check on the process; they’d demonstrate the progress they’d made. Their developer was very involved with our team, and we’d also discuss how we could iterate on the project every month or so.

We used monday.com as our software development platform. We mainly communicated through Microsoft Teams, but we sometimes had Zoom calls for the monthly sync-ups.

What did you find most impressive about them?

OnPath Testing was great at customizing their services based on our individual needs. As a small company, they were very in tune with our processes. They looked at our entire digital ecosystem and what we were doing to recommend the most effective processes and strategies to take us from crawling to riding a bike. We’re still not a race car, but we’re doing so much better than before.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Some of the work had to be done a second time because they didn’t act upon all the information that our developers gave them. However, it was a minor bump in the road; we didn’t have many challenges.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I suggest involving them in your company’s processes as much as possible. We struggled internally with it for a bit because we usually keep our contracted resources at an arm’s length. However, if you embrace their resources and treat them as internal employees, they’ll understand things better.

What was the scope of their involvement?

OnPath Testing has been doing staff augmentation for us to test our platforms.

What is the team composition?

We work with three members of OnPath's team, including two testers and an account manager.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we've spent about $70,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in March 2022, and it's still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

They've found bugs diligently and documented them well, so we're impressed with their work.

How did OnPath Testing perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is great, and we have no complaints; OnPath Testing's team communicates well and delivers everything on time. Regarding tools, we use Slack and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

OnPath is very responsive to feedback and questions.

Are there areas they could improve?

I feel that their approach is very corporate, and it could be better to look at it more from a startup perspective that is less caring about minor bugs and more caring about usability.

Any advice for potential customers?

Provide them with all the information needed for the project, and trust them to deliver the best.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

CodeLogic is building the worlds first comprehensive system of record for tracking and storing relationships and dependencies between Applications, Data Stores, Infrastructure and Platforms. This includes discovering, in fine-grained detail, application structure, dynamic relationships and other complex systemic elements, and surfacing them in easy to understand ways that deliver value and drive action within development and IT organizations. As CTO, I'm responsible for the technical strategy, development and delivery of the product. As such, comprehensive, continuous test, as part of our DevOps pipeline, is exceptionally important.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire OnPath Testing?

As CodeLogic is a significantly complex technical undertaking, it was important for our development organization to have a well defined, structured approach to Quality Assurance and Testing. OnPath, on an ongoing basis, provides our core managed test team, including the development of automated test processes, test definitions and project management for these activities.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Having worked successfully with OnPath in the past, and knowing the depth of their expertise, both in technical testing and in managing test infrastructure development, OnPath was an obvious choice for us, given our complex demands.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project, defined across multiple phases, extends current unit and integration testing, with automated functional test harness development across our core product and agent frameworks. In latter phases we are extending comprehensive API based testing, to address simulated user acceptance testing. Additionally, this is being done in conjunction with DevOps CI/CB/CT/CD (CT being continuous test) integration. This includes eventual continuous comprehensive test automation across feature branches, in conjunction with in-line unit and automation tests that are already in place.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We have worked with 2 test development engineers, 2 test engineers and 1 team project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

In conjunction with unit and integration testing, the automated continuous functional test platform, implemented by OnPath, has provided critical insight and significant QA improvements. This is exceptionally important as CodeLogic delivers releases every two weeks, using a disciplined Continuous Delivery model. OnPath is one of the few Test Development, Automation and Outsourcing providers I'd trust to work in such a demanding environment.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Given our tight, continuous delivery pattern, hard deadlines and highly technical product, OnPath has provided excellent, tightly coupled workflow and execution with our development engineering teams.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The quality of the resources, sourced from both North America and Asia, has been consistently impressive. Additionally, with team/project management located in North America, OnPath has managed to effectively bridge issues with the (usually) very challenging time-zone issues exhibited by other service providers. Finally, OnPath (in both my experiences working with them) requires remarkably little corrective oversight. Provided structured touchpoints and lines of communications are established, they get the job done with a minimum of fuss.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

My only recommendation would be to broaden their offerings into core DevOps process development, specifically with an eye toward earlier integration of comprehensive testing as part of Continuous Integration and Build. That said, this isn't a current deficiency, but a recommendation due to the evolving nature of development processes.

Nope, they were great.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CTO of a technology company that provides a nationwide platform for vehicle customization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire OnPath Testing?

We hired OnPath to close an immediate gap in quality assurance testing for our online product which was (at that point) 1-2 months out from launch.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I had a personal working relationship with the CEO, Brian Borg, dating back to 1999, when he was a quality assurance engineer and I was a software engineer. Fast forward to today, both being leaders in our respective domains, it was the right time & place to reach back out to him to see what new accomplishments we could achieve together.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

OnPath helped focus in on the biggest, most immediate needs, in order to bring value to our in-house development team as quickly as possible. That meant providing ad hoc testing against a codebase in development, as well as the initial stages of laying a foundation for automated testing in the months to come.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

OnPath provided two resources, a QA engineer, and a QA manager to help coordinate & align the deliverables.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The ad hoc testing provided an immediate gap closure. They put a fresh set of external eyes on our product, providing valuable feedback to identify and eliminate edge conditions we would have missed otherwise. Additionally, the framework for automated testing immediately provided the developers with scripts they could work with and expand upon to improve the quality of their own software.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was extremely flexible; we initially had OnPath's QA engineer integrated directly into the team, participating in stand-ups, processing items ready for testing as they flowed through our JIRA board, adapting as necessary.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive part of OnPath is their ability to quickly assess the situation and culture, and consider for both when adapting their solutions. Ours was very informal and conversational, and they read that quickly, and became flexible to meet those same expectations.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Nothing that I can think of the moment!
