This editorial policy applies to articles, guides, comparisons, and other published materials on qality.dev/blog and related QAlity web properties. It describes our standards for accuracy, transparency, and responsible publishing in the software testing and automation space.
Human-reviewed
Published content is reviewed by qualified editors before it goes live.
Transparent AI use
We disclose when AI assists drafting or editing workflows.
Kept current
Articles are revisited so guidance stays accurate over time.
Fair comparisons
Tool and methodology comparisons aim to be balanced and evidence-based.
Purpose
This policy explains how QAlity creates, reviews, updates, and corrects content across our blog and educational resources. Our goal is to publish accurate, practical, and trustworthy guidance for teams evaluating, adopting, or improving test automation-whether they use QAlity or other tools.
We treat editorial quality as part of product trust. Readers should understand who writes our content, how it is verified, when AI is involved, and how to report mistakes. This policy may evolve as our publishing program grows; material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
Intended audience
QAlity blog and resource content is written primarily for:
- QA engineers and test automation specialists
- Software developers involved in testing and release quality
- Engineering managers and team leads responsible for quality strategy
- Product and platform teams evaluating automation approaches
- Organizations exploring no-code, low-code, or AI-assisted testing workflows
We aim for clarity without oversimplifying technical topics. When an article assumes prior knowledge (for example, CI/CD concepts or browser automation basics), we state that in the introduction or link to foundational resources.
Not professional advice. Our content is educational and informational. It does not replace legal, security, or compliance counsel specific to your organization.
Research & editorial review
Our content is grounded in hands-on product experience, industry-standard testing practices, and reputable public sources. Before publication, articles typically go through:
- Technical review - Technical claims, code examples, and workflow recommendations are reviewed against official documentation, product behavior, and tested scenarios where applicable.
- Editorial review - Structure, clarity, headings, and accessibility of explanations are checked for readability and consistency with our style guidelines.
- Accuracy pass - Facts, version references, pricing mentions (if any), and links are verified or qualified with appropriate context and dates.
Substantive revisions after publication receive an updated “Last updated” date on the article. Minor typo fixes or non-material clarifications may be made without changing the date, at our editorial discretion.
Reproducibility. When we describe a workflow or integration, we prefer steps that readers can follow with reasonable effort. If a result depends on account setup, environment, or third-party changes, we say so explicitly.
Use of AI tools
QAlity may use AI-assisted tools to help draft, edit, summarize, outline, or improve content workflows-including internal research notes, first drafts, headline variations, or grammar and clarity suggestions.
AI is used as a productivity aid, not as a substitute for human judgment. All published content is reviewed and approved by a human editor for technical accuracy, tone, originality, and relevance before publication. Editors are responsible for verifying claims, removing unsupported statements, and ensuring examples align with real product behavior and current documentation.
What we do not do
- Publish AI-generated articles without human review and accountability
- Present AI output as hands-on product testing or customer experience without verification
- Use reader-submitted or proprietary customer data to train public content models
We disclose AI involvement in this policy for transparency and to align with evolving search and publishing quality expectations. If our practices change materially, we will update this section and the page date.
Content maintenance
Testing tools, frameworks, and best practices change frequently. We periodically review published articles to ensure technical accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current product capabilities and industry norms.
Maintenance may include:
- Updating screenshots, UI references, or version-specific instructions
- Revising recommendations when better approaches become standard
- Adding notes when a feature is deprecated or a linked resource has moved
- Archiving or removing content that is misleading, obsolete, or no longer supported by evidence
There is no fixed calendar for every article; priority is given to high-traffic pages, cornerstone guides, comparison content, and posts that reference fast-moving tools or APIs. Readers can always check the article’s “Last updated” date for the most recent substantive review.
External references & links
Articles may link to third-party tools, documentation, standards bodies, open-source projects, or educational resources to provide additional context. These links are included when they help the reader; they are not an endorsement of every practice or policy of the linked site.
QAlity is not responsible for the accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices of external websites. Linked content can change without notice. We periodically check important links but cannot guarantee they will remain valid at all times.
If you believe a link is broken, harmful, or inappropriate, please contact us so we can review it.
Product mentions & comparisons
QAlity is a commercial test automation platform. Our content may reference QAlity features where relevant to the topic. We also publish-or may publish-articles that compare tools, frameworks, or methodologies (for example, Selenium vs. no-code approaches, or cloud testing grids vs. in-house runners).
When comparing products or approaches, we aim to present accurate and fair information based on:
- Publicly available documentation and release notes
- Hands-on testing and practical workflows where feasible
- Feedback from practitioners and commonly reported tradeoffs in the industry
Comparisons reflect our understanding at the time of writing. Competitors may ship changes after publication; we encourage readers to validate fit for their own requirements. If you represent a vendor and believe we have made a factual error in a comparison, contact us with specifics and sources-we will investigate and correct verified mistakes.
Independence. Comparison articles are written for reader value, not to misrepresent alternatives. Where QAlity has a clear commercial interest, we still strive for honest description of tradeoffs and limitations-including QAlity’s own.
Corrections
We welcome reports of factual errors, unclear explanations, broken examples, or outdated screenshots. If you find a mistake, contact us at [email protected] or via our contact form. Please include the article URL, a description of the issue, and any supporting references if available.
We aim to acknowledge correction requests within a reasonable timeframe and to fix verified factual errors promptly. Significant corrections may be noted at the bottom of the article with a brief explanation and revision date. Minor edits (typos, formatting, non-material clarifications) may be made without a formal correction notice.
Commercial disclosure
QAlity is developed and marketed by its parent organization. Blog content may describe QAlity capabilities, roadmap themes, or customer scenarios. That relationship is inherent to our publishing program; we do not disguise marketing intent as independent third-party reviews.
- Sponsored or partner content - If ever published, it will be clearly labeled (for example, “Sponsored” or “Partner content”) at the top of the article.
- Affiliate or referral links - If used in the future, they will be disclosed in the article or site-wide policy as applicable.
- Customer stories - Case studies or testimonials are published with appropriate consent and labeled as such.
