QA & Test Automation
Outcomes
Regressions caught before release
The defects that reach production are usually in code nobody thought they had changed.
Faster releases with less fear
Teams ship more often when the safety net is trustworthy.
Tests people actually trust
Flaky tests are the primary reason automation efforts get abandoned. Reliability is treated as a first-class requirement.
Manual effort focused where it belongs
Exploratory testing and judgement, not clicking through the same regression script every sprint.
What we build
Test strategy proportionate to your risk, automated end-to-end tests for critical user journeys, API and integration test suites, unit test coverage where it is missing on important logic, performance and load testing, accessibility testing, and CI integration so tests run on every change.
Playwright or Cypress for end-to-end, framework-appropriate tooling for unit and API testing, k6 or similar for load.
How it works
We start by identifying what actually matters — the journeys where failure costs money or trust — and automate those first. Broad shallow coverage is less useful than deep coverage of the critical paths.
Then CI integration, flake elimination, and handover so your team writes tests going forward rather than depending on us.
Typical engagement is four to eight weeks to establish a working suite.
Where this applies
Strongest where releases are frequent, where regressions have caused real damage, or where manual regression testing has become a bottleneck.
Weakest on a product still changing shape rapidly. Tests written against an interface that changes weekly cost more to maintain than they save — stabilise first.
How we scope and price
Fixed scope, quoted after reviewing your application and current testing. Cost is driven by application complexity, number of critical journeys, and existing test maturity. Ongoing test maintenance can be retained or handed to your team.
Frequently asked questions
Coverage percentage is a poor goal. High coverage of trivial code alongside untested payment logic scores well and protects nothing. Target the journeys where failure is expensive, and measure protection rather than percentage.
Usually, and it is common work. Flakiness generally comes from timing assumptions, shared state and poor test data isolation. Fixing it is what makes the suite worth having.
Critical-path tests usually deliver value within the first two to three weeks, before the full suite exists.
Both. Automate the repetitive regression checking; keep humans for exploratory testing, usability and judgement. Automation replaces the tedious part, not the thinking part.
Yes. Test automation does not require the application to have been built with testing in mind, though it is easier when it was.
Ideally your team, and we build and document with that in mind. Retained maintenance is available where you would rather not.
