Functional Testing / Automation

Outsourcing partner for functional testing. Regression suites that run on every change and report what actually broke, not just what failed.

A suite your own team can extend without us, wired to run on every change and to fail loudly when something real is wrong.

Our Approach

Automation Built Around Release Risk

Automation has to earn its runtime. We automate the journeys that decide whether a release is safe, and leave the rest of the manual work where a human still finds more than a script does.

  • 01

    Risk Before Coverage

    We start from the journeys that cost you money when they break, not from a list of every screen in the product. That ordering is what keeps the suite short enough to run on every commit.

    • Prioritised against release impact, not test counts
    • Exploratory time kept where it still finds bugs
  • 02

    A Suite That Stays Trusted

    A suite people ignore is worse than no suite at all. Flakes get root-caused and removed rather than retried away, and every check earns the right to block a release.

    • Flakes root-caused and removed, not retried away
    • A named owner for every automated check
  • 03

    Faster Feedback, Not More Tests

    We tune runtime with parallel execution, generated data and splitting by risk, so the suite finishes inside the window your developers are actually willing to wait for.

    • Parallel execution inside a fixed feedback window
    • Test data generated, not hand-maintained
  • 04

    Yours to Run and Extend

    The framework lives in your repository, on your pipeline, using your conventions. Your engineers add coverage to it without needing to call us first.

    • Framework in your repo, wired to your CI
    • Handover session with your whole QA team
  • Overview

    What Automation Coverage Includes

    The four areas a regression suite needs before a release can lean on it.

    Test Strategy & Coverage Model

    Which journeys, which environments and which risk areas get automated first, agreed against release risk, not test-count vanity.

    End-to-End Automation

    Stable, parallel-capable suites across web, mobile and API that catch a regression before a customer does.

    API & Contract Testing

    Schema, authorisation and contract checks so a backend change cannot silently break a consumer.

    Suite Maintenance

    Flake removal, selector hygiene and ownership handover, because an untrusted suite gets ignored and that is worse than none.

    Services

    Testing & Automation Services Include

    Modular capabilities you can adopt as a full engagement or phase in by risk priority.

    01

    Regression Suite Build

    Critical journeys mapped, automated and run on every change, covering the paths your release actually depends on.

    API & Contract Testing

    Schema, authorisation and consumer-contract checks so a backend change cannot silently break the client.

    03

    Test Data & Fixtures

    Generated, seeded and reset data, so a run does not depend on a shared environment someone else left dirty.

    Mobile App Automation

    Appium coverage for the flows that matter on iOS and Android, without a device farm you have to maintain.

    CI/CD Pipeline Integration

    Playwright, Cypress or Selenium wired into your pipeline as a gate, with reporting your team can act on.

    Flake Triage & Maintenance

    Failed runs triaged to a cause and closed out, so the suite keeps the trust of the people relying on it.

    Exploratory & UAT Support

    Human-led exploratory testing alongside the automated suite, aimed at what scripts are worst at finding.

    Process

    How the Suite Gets Built

    Six steps from a first conversation to a suite your team owns.

    1. 01

      Scope & Strategy

      Journeys, environments and risk areas agreed up front.

    2. 02

      Suite Design

      Framework, data strategy and naming conventions agreed.

    3. 03

      Framework Setup

      Repository, pipeline and reporting wired into your CI.

    4. 04

      Automation Build

      Tests written in reviewable increments, not one big drop.

    5. 05

      CI Integration

      Gates, thresholds and reporting set with your team.

    6. 06

      Maintenance & Handover

      Flakes closed out and ownership passed to your QA.

    Is This Service Right for You?

    A quick check on whether an automation engagement makes sense right now.

    A good fit if

    • Manual regression is the bottleneck in your release process
    • Releases slip on defects that automation would have caught
    • You already have a test framework that nobody trusts
    • Your team wants to own and extend the suite itself

    The wrong start if

    • You need a product designed and built, not a test suite
    • There is no CI pipeline for the suite to run inside
    • Nobody on the team can review or maintain automated tests

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Quick answers on scope, tools and timelines. Cannot find yours? Ask our team directly.

    Still have a question?

    Ask an engineer, not a call centre. You get a straight answer within one business day.

    Ask our team

    Both. We read what you already have, keep the parts worth keeping, flag the rest and build the missing coverage. A suite reset to look green is worse than the one you started with.

    Whichever your team can maintain. Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium and Postman all appear regularly, and k6 when a journey carries real load. We decide on your stack and your hiring plan, not on fashion.

    Flakes get root-caused, not retried away. Every intermittent test has a named owner and a target date, and the flake rate is one of the numbers we report. Above an agreed threshold we stop adding coverage until it comes back down.

    The framework and a working pipeline usually land in the first two weeks, with the critical journeys running on every change. Broader coverage is then added in reviewable increments as each journey is agreed.

    You do. Everything is committed to your repository on your pipeline from the first week. We never hold the only copy of your coverage, and documentation and a walkthrough are part of the handover.

    Yes, and it is the better outcome. We pair with your QA and development engineers, review their own tests alongside ours, and transfer ownership as we go, so nothing depends on us being available later.
