What is SendTheCanary?

SendTheCanary is an independent software testing service founded in 2021 by three test engineers. The core team defines the scope, the test plan and the report; testers living in their own geographies try the scenarios on their own devices. It does not write code, sell consulting or apply fixes: it finds, documents and reports. Because the party that finds the bug is not the party that fixes it, verification stays independent.

HOW IT WORKS

SendTheCanary step by step.

  1. 01

    Sign-up and criteria selection

    Hours 0–4. Which services, how many platforms, which devices; start from a ready-made package or build the scope by hand. Output: a scope summary. Sign-up is free.

  2. 02

    Payment and test plan

    Hours 4–12. Payment is taken only when the scope is approved. The core team writes the test plan; what will not be tested is also stated in writing.

  3. 03

    Execution

    Hours 12–72. The number of assigned testers, their devices and which scenario they are on right now are live in the panel. Every verified finding lands in the panel without waiting for the report; a daily summary is sent.

  4. 04

    Report

    Hours 72–84. A prioritized inspection report and PDF, signed by a named person. Every finding includes reproduction steps, video and a console log.

  5. 05

    Verification round

    Hours 84–120. When a fix is released, verification is requested from the panel; closed and unclosed items are updated in the same place. One round in Discovery, two in Release.

WHAT IT DOES

Key
capabilities.

Request a demo

Functional and regression

Flows that carry money and data, such as sign-up, login, cart, checkout and cancellation, are tested end to end.

Compatibility matrix

On the device-browser matrix derived from your user analytics, on real devices and real browser versions.

Performance and load

Core Web Vitals measurements, slow-connection scenarios and staged load testing with k6.

Security audit

Based on the OWASP Top 10: authorization bypass, horizontal and vertical privilege escalation, session management, insecure direct object references and input validation. It does not replace a penetration test.

API and payment testing

Endpoints are validated against the schema; error codes, boundary values and concurrency are stressed.

Accessibility, usability, localization

Keyboard, focus order, screen reader and contrast are tested by hand against WCAG 2.2 AA criteria.

QUESTIONS ON YOUR MIND

Before we start.

Does the report really arrive in 72 hours?+

The inspection report is delivered at hour 72; in the Release and Fleet packages the first report arrives in 48 hours. The remaining time is the verification round for your fixes. If a critical finding comes up, we do not wait for the report; you are notified immediately.

What do you test?+

Web, mobile and API products. There are ten service headings: functional, regression, compatibility matrix, performance and load, security audit, API, payment, accessibility, usability and localization. You choose which ones you want in the panel; the outputs are combined in a single report.

Does the security audit replace a penetration test?+

No. The audit focuses on authorization, session and input validation weaknesses based on the OWASP Top 10; it targets the common and costly mistakes at the application layer. A comprehensive penetration test is a separate engagement.

How are findings delivered?+

Every finding comes with reproduction steps, a screen recording, a console log, environment details and a severity level. Findings land in the panel before the report is finished; in the Release and Fleet packages they are pushed directly to Jira or Linear.

How is pricing determined?+

There are three standard packages: Discovery (one product, one test, 72 hours), Release (the whole product, three platforms, pre-launch) and Fleet (regression on every release, monthly, six-month commitment). For regulated industries, the Enterprise option comes with a custom SLA. Sign-up is free; payment is taken only when you approve the scope.
