Software and AI chatbot testing, QA processes, IT education
I help companies raise the quality of their software and test AI chatbots and assistants before customers see their answers. I advise on weaving AI sensibly into the work of testers, and run courses, a blog and a YouTube channel for people entering the profession or moving up in it.
Core service
Consulting and advisory work on software and AI quality
I step in where quality starts to cost money: shaping the test process, choosing a strategy, growing the team and showing where AI genuinely shortens the work. I also test the AI chatbots and assistants that talk to customers on a company's behalf. Most often I work in short, well-defined formats, but on larger projects I also take on longer, regular engagements.
-
AI chatbot and assistant testing
Does your chatbot tell the truth about your offer, avoid making things up, protect data, resist manipulation and admit it is an AI? The result is a report with examples and recommendations, plus regression testing after changes to the bot.
-
Test process audit
A review of how you test today: coverage, documentation, defect flow, the place of QA in the team. You get a report with actions ranked by their impact on risk.
-
Test strategy and planning
Matching test levels and types to the product, its risk profile and the budget. Entry and exit criteria, metrics worth tracking, and a clear decision on what we deliberately will not test.
-
AI in testing
Where language models genuinely save time - test cases, log analysis, documentation - and where they create risk instead. Usage rules, tool selection, a quick pilot.
-
QA team mentoring
Regular sessions with testers and leads: test design techniques, reviews of real artefacts, and a growth path from junior to independent specialist.
-
In-house training
Training tailored to your team's process and stack - from testing fundamentals to preparation for the ISTQB and MITC exams.
Ways to work together: a single consultation, a prepaid pool of hours, an audit closed with a written report, ongoing support of a few hours a month, or a longer engagement on a project. Remote, and on-site in Kraków and the surrounding area.
Education projects
Courses and learning materials for testers
From your first steps in the profession to certification prep in an accredited course. Each of these projects draws on my 20+ years of hands-on testing experience. Note: these materials are published in Polish.

About
Michał Putowski
I have spent over twenty years working on software quality - in large and smaller organisations, as a tester, a test manager and a consultant. I am at my best where the process needs sorting out: deciding what we test and why, what it costs, and how to tell that quality is actually improving. More and more often I also test AI systems: chatbots and assistants that answer customers on a company's behalf.
Alongside that, I teach. I run the JakZostacTesterem.pl blog, a YouTube channel, two online courses including the accredited MITC course, and publish free material for people entering the profession. NETLEA is a one-person business, so you work directly with me, with no intermediaries and no sales overhead.

Not sure where to start with quality?
Describe what is happening in two sentences - with your test process or with the chatbot on your website. I will tell you whether it is a job for one consultation, for an audit, or not something I can help with - and in that case, where to look instead.
