Anna Kovalova Software Testing for Humans

From Stressful Release Nights to a Calmer Way of Building Software by Anna Kovalova

Anna Kovalova’s began her career in the trenches of software testing. She experienced the stress of release nights, the pressure of 2 a.m. hotfixes, and the cycle of repeated team mistakes. After moving from Ukraine to California, she co-founded Anbosoft with a clear goal: create a calmer, more measurable, and more continuous approach to quality.

To begin each engagement, her team runs an AI-powered QA Audit. This audit reveals how testing, development, and release practices actually operate inside a company. As a result, leaders gain visibility into blind spots, unstable processes, and opportunities for thoughtful automation before any work begins.

Turning Testing Into a Listening System

Today, Anna helps enterprises shift from reactive testing to listening systems. She views testing as an early warning sense for the business—not a final checkpoint before release.

The terminology is familiar: CI/CD, coverage, and quality gates. However, Anna changes the focus. Instead of chasing green checkmarks, she frees teams to pay attention to what matters. Automation takes over repetitive tasks. Meanwhile, humans explore, think, and decide.

This balanced approach aligns with how modern teams ship software. Testing becomes continuous and tied to real user value.

How Anbosoft Blends AI With Human Judgment

Anbosoft begins with a discovery phase. The team studies how ideas move from concept to release. They examine signals often scattered across an organization—user stories, logs, production incidents, and abandoned tests. After this, AI supports the process.

Their tools:

• generate and prioritize tests,
• monitor brittle selectors,
• adapt when interfaces change.

Humans keep the context and make final decisions. The aim is not speed alone. Instead, it is insight. By pairing testers with AI, teams shift effort from routine checks to exploratory work, where human judgment is strongest.

Inside Enterprise Teams: What Actually Changes

Companies usually reach out to Anbosoft when regressions grow, dashboards feel noisy, and defects still appear in production. Anna’s approach follows a clear sequence:

1. Remove tests that no longer reflect real user journeys.
2. Shift checks earlier so teams test ideas—not just code.
3. Use AI to prioritize risk and repair brittle UI paths.

Anna is direct about AI’s impact. Testers now guide models, audit results, and refine data. Leaders read fewer metrics but with clearer signals. The goal stays simple: give people their attention back and let quality flow through every stage of delivery.

The Craft Behind Calm Delivery

Anbosoft supports many tools—Jira, Zephyr, Azure DevOps, and TestRail. Even so, the real craft is in the rituals.

Every change connects to a small set of indicators that leaders actually review. Exploratory testing is scheduled, not squeezed. The pipeline treats testing as an ongoing loop—not a final gate.

Anna looks closely at how teams behave under pressure. She studies cultural signals that predict strong quality—rewrite tickets without blame, ask design questions earlier, and collaborate by default. When these behaviors appear, metrics Improve.

What Comes Next

Anna is now investing in smarter test data that mirrors real customer behavior across web, mobile, and API systems. She is also simplifying dashboards so leaders see predictive signals, not endless charts.

Her goal is not zero bugs. No complex product can promise that. Instead, she aims for steady confidence at each release. With attention on the right risks, teams ship software with quiet confidence.

A Calm, Confident Path to Quality

If your team needs this calm, Anbosoft starts small:

• an AI-powered QA audit,
• a focused pilot inside your pipeline,
• a clear definition of done tied to real business outcomes.

Accelerate where automation helps. Slow down where human judgment protects you. That is how software testing becomes a competitive advantage.
