what it is

Regression that runs itself — so releases stop being a bet.

Test automation is the practice of encoding your critical user flows as executable tests that run on every commit and every night — catching regressions in minutes instead of letting customers find them in production. Done properly, the suite lives in your repository, runs in your CI, and reads like code your own engineers would write — because that's the standard we hold.

is this you?

Check what's true. The page will be honest back.

Tick anything that sounds familiar — we'll tell you honestly whether automation is your fix.

how we work

Four phases. An artifact at the end of each.

PHASE · WEEK 1

Map

We rank your user flows by revenue-and-risk, audit any existing tests, and pick the framework against your stack — not our preference.

→ artifact: risk-ranked flow map & framework decision doc
PHASE · WEEK 2–4

Build

Senior engineers write the suite in your repo, following your code conventions, with page objects, fixtures and CI-ready structure.

→ artifact: top-10 flows automated, reviewed via your PR process
PHASE · WEEK 4–6

Wire

Suites plug into GitHub Actions, GitLab or Jenkins: PR smoke checks, nightly full regression, Slack/Teams reporting.

→ artifact: pipeline gates live + dashboard your whole team reads
PHASE · ONGOING

Operate

Coverage grows sprint by sprint; flakes are quarantined within 24h under an enforced flake budget; red builds get triaged by us, not your devs.

→ artifact: weekly coverage & stability report, in writing

see it run

This is what your Tuesday mornings will look like.

A 20-second simulation of a nightly run — including the part that matters: what happens when something breaks.

Your stack decides. We're fluent in all of it.

Framework choice happens in Phase 1, against your application architecture, team skills and CI — documented with reasoning, so it survives your engineers' scrutiny.

deliverables

What lands in your repo — and stays there.

The framework

Page objects, fixtures, helpers — structured, documented, following your conventions.

The suites

Your critical flows as readable, maintainable tests — reviewed through your own PR process.

CI integration

PR smoke gates + nightly full regression in your pipeline, under your accounts.

Live dashboards

Pass rates, coverage, flake trends — visible to your whole team, not locked in our portal.

Slack-native reporting

Results where your team already lives, every morning before standup.

Full documentation

Setup, conventions, runbooks — written so handover is a meeting, not a quarter.

Outcomes, not activity reports.

SAMPLE DATA — replace with verified client story
3 days → 4 hoursregression cycle · FinTech platform, US

A Playwright suite covering 42 critical flows, wired into GitHub Actions with PR smoke gates and nightly regression. Manual regression effort redeployed to exploratory testing of new features. Zero escaped P1s in the following nine months.

"The team went above and beyond to deliver the scripts in a very timely manner — even stepping me through how to run them."

pricing logic

Two ways to buy it. Zero hourly meters.

continuous

Automation Pod

Priced by flows kept green, not hours logged. Suite grows sprint by sprint; scale monthly.

typically less than one senior US QA hire
fixed-price

Framework Build

Your top 25 flows automated, CI-wired, documented, handed over. One scope, one quote.

4–8 weeks · you own everything

The Escaped-Defect Response Guarantee applies. If a P1 escapes a flow we certified: 4-hour senior swarm, root cause, hardening tests, prevention report — at no additional cost, until it's bulletproof.

straight answers

Asked on every automation call. Answered here.

How much do test automation services cost?

Continuous automation is priced by flows kept green — typically less than one senior in-house QA hire in the US or Western Europe, scaling monthly. A fixed-price framework build (top 25 flows) runs 4–8 weeks with one quote. A 30-minute scoping call gets you one exact number.

How fast until we see value?

Risk map in 3 days, first flows running in your CI within 2 weeks, nightly regression on critical paths by week 4–6. If automation hasn't caught its first real regression within the first month, something is wrong — and we'll say so.

Playwright, Cypress or Selenium — which will you use?

Whichever your stack argues for. Playwright is our default for modern web (speed, parallelism, trace viewer), Cypress where your team already lives in it, Appium for native mobile, Selenium where legacy grids demand it. The Phase-1 decision doc shows the reasoning.

Who maintains the suite when the UI changes?

We do, under an enforced flake budget: flaky or broken tests are quarantined within 24 hours, root-caused, and fixed or deleted. A suite nobody trusts is worse than no suite — maintenance isn't an add-on, it's the job.

Will we be locked into your framework?

No. Standard open-source tooling, your repositories, your accounts, your conventions — with documentation written for handover. Ending the engagement means losing a vendor, not a test suite.

Can our developers contribute to the suite?

Please do — it's in your repo, reviewed through your PR process. The best outcome is a suite your team co-owns; we've designed every convention and doc for exactly that.

Your flows. Our seniors. Green by week six.
