Test automation

We build automation that is reliable, readable and wired into your pipeline, so every change is checked automatically and a failure always means something.

What you get

  • An automation strategy: what to automate, and what not to
  • A maintainable framework for web, API or mobile
  • Automated regression and smoke suites
  • CI/CD integration with clear reports
  • Coding standards, documentation and handover
  • Ongoing maintenance and flaky-test clean-up

How we do it

  1. AssessWe choose what to automate first, based on risk and repeat effort.
  2. DesignWe design the framework, test data and reporting approach.
  3. BuildWe build the suites and run them in your CI pipeline.
  4. StabiliseWe fix flakiness, hand over and keep suites healthy.

Every pull request, checked automatically

A trimmed sample of the kind of pipeline we set up. The suite is split across four machines so it finishes in minutes, and the report is kept even when tests fail. Two rules we hold to: a failing test blocks the merge, and a flaky test is fixed or quarantined within a day, never just re-run until it passes.

Sample: .github/workflows/e2e.yml
name: e2e
on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  e2e:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 20
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        shard: [1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4]   # four machines share the suite
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 20
          cache: npm
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npx playwright install --with-deps chromium
      - run: npx playwright test --shard=${{ matrix.shard }}
        env:
          BASE_URL: ${{ vars.STAGING_URL }}
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        if: ${{ !cancelled() }}         # keep the report even when tests fail
        with:
          name: report-${{ strategy.job-index }}
          path: playwright-report/

Tools and approach

We choose what fits your stack and team.

PlaywrightSeleniumCypressGitHub ActionsJenkinsAllure

A good fit if…

  • Regression testing blocks your releases
  • Existing automation is slow, flaky or hard to maintain
  • You want every pull request checked automatically
  • You are moving from manual testing to automation

Where this fits

This tends to matter most for teams in SaaS, e-commerce and fintech. It pairs well with AI-powered testing, and with API and performance testing. The services overview shows how everything we do fits together.

Common questions

Which tool should we use?

It depends on your stack and your team. We often recommend Playwright for modern web apps and Selenium where an existing ecosystem makes it the better fit. We explain the trade-offs before we start.

Who owns the automation code?

You do. All scripts, frameworks and documentation are handed over, with knowledge transfer for your team.
