How Preflight Labs Helped Catch What QA Missed

Even the best QA teams can’t catch everything.

We recently worked with a growing accounting tech company whose product had passed every internal test. But something wasn’t right.

  1. Customers felt friction.

  2. Support tickets rose.

  3. And onboarding stalled.

That’s when they brought us in.

Not Just Testing, Understanding

We don’t just test functionality, we test experience.

Our team of accounting pros used the product exactly how a real-world firm would. Within days, we flagged several hidden issues:

  • Dropdown menus failing for custom entities

  • Reports that were technically correct but confusing

  • Journals passing validation with missing data

The kind of issues a script won’t find, but your customers will.

Structured, Scenario-Based Feedback

We created full workflow scenarios that mimicked actual month-end tasks. Every error was documented with:

  • Screenshots

  • Replication steps

  • Suggested UX improvements

  • An accountant’s POV on why it mattered

Outcome? Better Releases, Fewer Surprises

With our help, the team shipped a cleaner, faster, and more usable version of their product. Support tickets dropped. New customers onboarded faster. And their dev team had fewer rollbacks.
