Services / QA and test automation
Ship on a Friday without holding your breath.
Usually bought by CTOs and engineering managers whose releases depend on manual checks.
Manual regression testing is slow, boring and gets skipped when the deadline is close. Then something small breaks checkout on a Friday evening.
We write automated tests for the paths that actually matter, wire them into your CI so a failing build cannot be merged, and leave your team with a suite they understand and can extend.
What this looks like in practice
Representative builds for this service. Yours will be scoped around your tools and your process.
Checkout regression suite
Every pull request runs the browse, cart, pay and confirmation path in Chrome, Safari and mobile before it can be merged.
PlaywrightGitHub Actions
API contract tests
Each endpoint is checked against its schema and example responses so a backend change cannot silently break the app.
VitestOpenAPI
Release smoke pack
A ten-minute suite that runs against production after each deploy and pages someone if login, search or payments fail.

What you get
Every engagement for this service ends with these in your hands.
- A test plan listing what is covered and, deliberately, what is not
- The suite, in Playwright or Cypress, inside your repository
- CI configuration that blocks merges on failure
- No fixed sleeps, isolated test data, retries only where justified
- A short guide to writing the next test
How an engagement works
- 1
Discovery call
30 minutes
You describe the problem. We ask questions and tell you honestly whether it is worth automating or building. No slides.
- 2
Scope and fixed quote
Within a few days
A short written proposal: what we will build, what we will not, the price and the timeline. Fixed, not hourly.
- 3
Build in weekly demos
Weeks one onward
You see working software on a preview link every week and steer it. Nothing is a surprise at the end.
- 4
Test and hand over
Final week
We test it properly, deploy to your accounts, write the runbook and walk your team through it on a recorded call.
- 5
30 days of support
After launch
Anything that breaks or was not as agreed, we fix at no charge. After that, a small retainer or you are self-sufficient. Your call.
Questions about QA and test automation
Playwright or Cypress?
Playwright by default: faster, better cross-browser support and free parallelism. We use Cypress if your team already has a suite in it.
Will tests slow down our pipeline?
A well-built suite for a mid-sized app runs in five to ten minutes in parallel. We shard it if it grows beyond that.
Do you also do manual testing?
We do exploratory testing during a build to decide what to automate, but we do not sell ongoing manual QA. Automation is the point.
Also see: Workflow automation, App development, E-commerce development, SaaS development, AI agents and internal tools, Funnel dashboards.
Have something that should run itself?
Tell us what keeps eating your team’s week. We’ll say honestly whether it’s worth fixing and what it would take.
