Quality for the systems that serve every citizen
GovTech runs on benefits and entitlements, tax and licensing, courts and records, digital identity, and elections integrity — for federal, state, provincial, and municipal agencies and the vendors modernizing them. TestLauncher brings agentic testing, an owned QA Brain, and continuous compliance to public-sector systems, so an eligibility decision, a record, or an accessible page is provably correct and defensible.
What makes quality hard in govtech
Eligibility logic that decides who gets served
Benefits and entitlement engines encode complex, changing statute — income thresholds, household rules, phase-outs — and a single miscalculation wrongly denies or overpays a real applicant. These errors compound silently across cohorts and only surface as appeals, audits, or headlines.
Accessibility is a legal mandate, not a nice-to-have
Section 508 and WCAG conformance is enforceable law for public-facing services, and a keyboard trap or unlabeled form field is a barrier that excludes citizens who are entitled to access. Automated scanners miss the judgment calls, so real assistive-technology and exploratory testing is required to prove conformance.
Records and identity that carry legal weight
Court filings, property records, licenses, and identity attributes are authoritative — a transposed field, a broken audit trail, or a bad identity match can alter a legal outcome or a person's status. Every state transition has to be reproducible and evidenced, not merely observed to pass once.
Public data must stay sovereign and resident
Citizen data is bound by residency and sovereignty requirements — on-prem, in-region, or Canadian-resident — and a test harness that ships production-like data to an uncontrolled cloud is itself the breach. Testing has to run inside the boundary and prove where the data lived the whole time.
One intelligence layer for govtech
The same owned QA Brain — testing, knowledge, and compliance — focused on the risks this sector can’t afford to get wrong.
manualTesting
Expert human testers run Section 508 and WCAG accessibility passes with real assistive technology plus exploratory testing of eligibility edge cases and appeals paths — the judgment calls automated scanners and scripts miss.
ARC
Continuously maps your controls to FedRAMP, StateRAMP, NIST SP 800-53, and FISMA, and produces the evidence as a byproduct of testing — so an ATO package or audit is a report you export, not a fire drill.
bugAgent
Scriptless, self-healing agentic testing exercises benefits, tax, licensing, and records flows end to end, catching eligibility and state-transition regressions as statute and forms change across releases.
Launch App
The sovereign, deterministic foundation runs reproducible, owned test runs with evidence inside your boundary — on-prem or in-region — so residency is provable and every result is defensible.
qualThread
A living digital thread ties statute, policy changes, and prior decisions to the tests that verify them, so the reasoning behind an eligibility rule or accessibility fix survives staff turnover and audit questions.
Designed to support the regimes you work toward
TestLauncher is designed to support programs working toward the standards below and generates the traceability and evidence they call for. Naming a standard here is not a claim of certification — it describes the regimes our customers operate in.
- FedRAMP
US program standardizing security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud services used by federal agencies.
- StateRAMP
State and local government analog to FedRAMP, providing a common security verification framework for cloud providers serving those agencies.
- NIST SP 800-53
US catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information systems, and the baseline underlying FedRAMP and FISMA.
- Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA
US federal accessibility mandate for electronic information technology, aligned to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines success criteria.
- FISMA
US law requiring federal agencies to develop and maintain information security programs, implemented largely through NIST guidance.
