QA & Test Automation

Automated checks that catch regressions before users do

Every release that breaks something users rely on costs more than the time it takes to fix. We build automated test suites and quality practices that catch regressions before they ship, so your team can release often without holding its breath.

What's included
In this engagement06
  • Test strategy
  • End-to-end automation
  • API and integration testing
  • Performance testing
  • Tests in CI/CD
  • Manual and exploratory testing

Why it matters

Quality is not a phase at the end. It is a set of fast, reliable checks that run on every change and give the team confidence to move quickly.

What this includes

Six parts of the work. Which of them you need depends on where you are starting from, and we agree that before anything is built.

  1. 01

    Test strategy

    Deciding what to test at which level, so effort goes where risk is highest.

  2. 02

    End-to-end automation

    Automated tests for the critical journeys users depend on most.

  3. 03

    API and integration testing

    Checks that services and integrations behave as their contracts promise.

  4. 04

    Performance testing

    Load and stress tests that show how the system behaves under pressure.

  5. 05

    Tests in CI/CD

    Tests running automatically on every change, with clear results.

  6. 06

    Manual and exploratory testing

    Structured human testing for the areas automation cannot cover well.

  7. Not sure which of these you need?

    Tell us where things stand for you today and we will suggest where to start.

How we deliver it

Four stages, agreed with you before the work starts, with a working result at the end of each rather than one reveal at the end.

  1. Assess

    We review the application, current testing and recent defects.

  2. Plan

    We agree a test strategy and the journeys to automate first.

  3. Automate

    Tests are built, stabilized and added to your pipeline.

  4. Maintain and coach

    We keep tests reliable and help your team write and own them.

What you receive

Yours to keep when the engagement ends, whether we carry on working together or not.

  • A test strategy

    What is tested, how, and why, documented for the team.

  • An automated test suite

    Reliable tests for critical journeys and APIs.

  • Pipeline integration

    Tests running on every change with clear reporting.

  • Quality dashboards

    Visibility into test results and defect trends over time.

Common questions

The ones that come up in almost every first conversation about this work.

  • No. Automation suits stable, repeated checks. Exploratory testing by people still finds issues automation misses.

  • Yes. We find the causes of flaky tests, such as timing and test data, fix them, and set standards that keep the suite reliable.

  • That is the goal. We structure tests so developers can extend them, and coach the team as we go.

Let's talk about QA & Test Automation

A short call is usually enough to work out whether we can help and where it makes sense to start. No preparation needed.
