Team Autonomy vs External Management
RainforestQA's Test Manager model provides immediate testing capacity but creates dependency on external decision-making for test strategy and prioritization.
Desplega.ai positions your QA team as the strategic decision-makers, using AI as powerful assistant tools to amplify their existing skills and domain knowledge.
This means your team maintains full ownership of quality strategy while gaining superhuman testing capabilities.

|---|---|---|
| Strategic ownership | External Test Manager leads | Your QA team retains full control |
| Test expertise | Stays with service provider | Builds internally with AI assistance |
| Tool proficiency | Managed by external team | Your team masters AI testing tools |
| Career growth | Limited by service boundaries | Enhanced by cutting-edge AI skills |
Proactive Quality Strategy Control
External Test Managers apply standardized testing approaches that may not align perfectly with your specific product requirements or business priorities.
Empowered internal teams with AI assistance can adapt testing strategies in real-time, prioritize based on business context, and evolve approaches as product requirements change.
Your QA team becomes proactive strategic partners rather than passive consumers of testing services.
AI Assistant vs AI Management
RainforestQA uses AI to power their Test Manager service, but your team interacts with the human manager rather than learning to leverage AI directly.
Desplega.ai puts AI tools directly in your QA team's hands, teaching them to collaborate with AI systems and amplify their capabilities continuously.
This approach builds future-ready skills while maintaining human judgment and strategic oversight.
