In the race to build and ship faster, there's a constant tension between speed and stability. The rise of AI-powered development tools has promised to accelerate workflows to unprecedented levels, but a nagging question remains for every engineering leader: "How can I trust the quality?" Fast but faulty code isn't progress; it's technical debt waiting to cripple your product.
At devs.do, we don't believe you should have to choose between speed and quality. Our entire platform is built on a hybrid philosophy we call "Code as a Service," where powerful AI code agents and elite human developers work in concert. This synergy is never more critical than in our approach to quality assurance.
Here’s how we've built a multi-layered QA process that combines the best of AI automation and irreplaceable human wisdom to deliver pull requests you can merge with confidence.
The first step to quality code is assigning the task to the right resource. Our platform intelligently analyzes each task submitted via our API to determine the best fit.
AI agents are masters of speed and precision on well-defined problems. We deploy them for tasks like:
AI thrives where the path is clear. For these jobs, it delivers clean, consistent code faster than any human could.
Our vetted network of human experts excels at tasks that require creativity, abstract thinking, and a deep understanding of context. They are assigned to jobs that involve:
By matching the task to the right type of "developer," we ensure the job is started with the highest probability of a quality outcome.
Whether the code comes from a human or an AI agent, it must pass through a strict, automated quality gauntlet before a human ever sees it. This isn't just a suggestion; it's a requirement for a task to proceed.
Linting and Style Conformance: All code is automatically checked against industry-standard linters (like ESLint) and formatters (like Prettier). This ensures every line of code is consistent, readable, and adheres to best practices from the very start.
Unit and Integration Testing: The submitted code must pass 100% of the existing tests in your repository. No exceptions. If a task involves adding a new feature, our developers (both human and AI) are required to write new tests to ensure proper coverage for the code they've added.
AI-Powered Security and Smell Analysis: We use our own advanced tools to perform a deeper analysis, scanning for potential security vulnerabilities, anti-patterns, and "code smells" that might indicate underlying structural problems. This is AI reviewing code to catch issues that basic linters might miss.
Only code that makes it through this entire automated pipeline is deemed ready for the final, and most important, step.
This is our secret sauce. Automation is powerful, but it can't assess intent, elegance, or long-term maintainability. That's why every single pull request from devs.do is reviewed by one of our senior engineers before it's delivered to you.
This human review goes beyond what any automated tool can do. Our senior reviewers ask the critical questions:
This final check acts as the guardian at the gates, ensuring that the work not only functions correctly but is also a healthy, long-term contribution to your codebase.
Imagine you need to add a Google OAuth login to your app. You can automate the entire process by integrating your project management tool with devs.do.
import { Do } from "@do-inc/sdk";
// This could be triggered automatically from a new Jira ticket
const doit = new Do({ apiKey: process.env.DO_API_KEY });
const loginFeatureTask = await doit.devs.createTask({
description: "Implement a new OAuth 2.0 login flow using Google.",
repoUrl: "https://github.com/my-org/my-app",
skills: ["typescript", "oauth", "react"],
maxHours: 20
});
// A human developer is assigned, writes the code and new tests.
// The code passes all automated checks.
// A devs.do senior engineer reviews the PR for security and logic.
// The final, approved PR is delivered to your repo.
The result? A perfectly implemented, fully tested, and human-verified feature is delivered as a pull request, ready for you to merge. All initiated with a simple API call.
At devs.do, high-quality code isn't a feature; it's the foundation of our service. By blending the relentless efficiency of AI with the irreplaceable judgment of human experts, we provide a development resource that accelerates your roadmap without compromising your standards.
