A test suite you can't maintain
is a liability, not an asset.
A purpose-built automation suite for your stack — web, mobile, or API — integrated into CI and handed over with full documentation and a 30-day support window. Fixed-price. Built for your team to own.
Most automation investment
produces debt, not confidence.
A lot of engineering teams have some automation. The question is whether it works well enough for the team to rely on it. Flaky tests that are ignored. A framework nobody fully understands. Tests written for the wrong things. CI runs that take 40 minutes and produce a dozen false positives.
The problem isn't usually a lack of effort — it's that test automation is a specialism. Getting the framework architecture right, choosing the right abstraction level, writing tests that stay green under normal conditions and fail for the right reasons: these are skills that take time to develop.
This service builds the suite properly — for your stack, scoped to your actual risk profile — and hands it over with the documentation and session your team needs to maintain and extend it without outside help.
Stack options. CI integration. Full documentation.
Playwright or Cypress
Playwright is the default recommendation for new builds — cross-browser, fast, excellent TypeScript support. Cypress for teams already invested in the ecosystem.
Appium
iOS, Android, or cross-platform. Integrated with your existing CI. Framework architecture designed for the realities of mobile test stability.
Postman / REST Assured
Contract and functional API testing. Collections structured for CI execution, not just manual use. Assertions that catch real failures, not just HTTP 200s.
GitHub Actions (default)
Or GitLab CI / Azure DevOps — integrated into what you already use. Pipeline configured for PR checks and main branch validation. Failure notifications set up.
Everything included. Scoped before we start.
Automation suite
Agreed scope of tests — smoke, regression, or both — covering critical paths, integration points, and the highest-risk flows. Stable, readable, maintainable.
CI pipeline integration
Full integration with PR checks and merge gates. Pass/fail visible in the repository. Run time optimised. Configuration documented.
Documentation
Architecture guide (what was built and why), maintenance guide (how to add, modify, and debug tests), and run instructions for local development.
Handoff session
A structured team walkthrough covering the framework, CI setup, and how to extend the suite. Questions answered. Team leaves able to maintain it.
30-day email support
Post-handoff questions answered by email for 30 days. For the inevitable "this works locally but not in CI" moments.
Scope is fixed. Surprises aren't.
The proposal will confirm exactly what's in scope. These exclusions apply to every engagement and are stated upfront — not discovered at handoff.
Fixing application bugs
Tests may find bugs. Fixing them is engineering work, not test automation work.
Ongoing maintenance
Post-30-day-window maintenance is the client's team's responsibility. That's the point of the handoff.
Performance & security
Functional automation only. Performance and security testing are separate specialist engagements.
✓ Existing automation is flaky, unmaintained, or not trusted
✓ You want a suite your team can extend — not a black box
Fixed-price. Scope confirmed before work begins.
Range is driven by scope: web-only vs. web + API + mobile; test count; and CI complexity. The exact figure is confirmed in the proposal — no variable costs after that.
