Your team ships fast. Now make it safe.
A senior QA/Automation expert embedded in your team — defining test strategy, building the automation framework, integrating tests into CI/CD, and training your engineers to maintain quality autonomously. All the expertise of a full-time QA lead at a flat monthly rate.
Your devs test 'when there's time' — and there's never time. You have a QA team but no technical direction. Tests run locally but not in the pipeline. You want to automate but no one owns the strategy. You need a dedicated practitioner embedded in your team, not a consultant who writes a test plan and disappears.
What our clients receive
Five concrete deliverables that bring senior QA leadership to your team without the full-time headcount.
A clear picture of where your testing stands — and what to fix first
In the first week, we map your current test coverage, audit your pipeline, identify the gaps, and produce a test strategy document with quick wins. Not a generic checklist — a concrete plan specific to your stack: which flows have zero coverage, which tests are flaky, which environments are broken.
An automation framework your team can actually maintain
We build (or improve) your automation framework: Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium — whatever fits your stack. Page Object Model, test data management, fixtures, factories. Not a demo project — a production-ready framework your engineers can extend without asking for help.
Tests in the pipeline — not on someone's laptop
We integrate your tests into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or CircleCI. Every PR runs the test suite. Every merge to main runs the full regression. Flaky tests get quarantined. You know if a deploy is safe before it goes out — automatically.
Contract testing + visual regression — catch what unit tests miss
API contract tests with Pact so frontend and backend can't break each other silently. Visual regression with Playwright screenshots or Chromatic so UI changes are intentional, not accidental. Two layers most teams skip — and pay for in production bugs.
Your team learns — pair programming, code reviews, workshops
The goal is that your team maintains quality autonomously. Pair programming on test code, code reviews with testing focus, hands-on workshops. A successful engagement ends when your team no longer needs us — and that's our best success story.
How it works
Kick-off 15 min video call
We understand your testing process, your tools, and the gaps. Access to your stack is set up — Slack, repo, CI/CD.
Week 1: Assessment
We map your test coverage, audit your pipeline, and produce a test strategy document with quick wins identified.
Weeks 2-4: Framework setup
We build the automation framework, integrate into CI/CD, and write the first critical tests. By week 4, tests run on every PR.
Month 2+: Embedded QA lead
Ongoing embedded work: pair programming, code reviews, mentoring, workshop delivery. Your team learns and maintains quality autonomously.
Quarterly: Quality review 1h recorded
A structured review of test coverage, flaky test ratio, test execution time, and improvement roadmap for the next quarter.
FAQs
What test frameworks do you work with?
We're framework-agnostic: Jest, Vitest, Playwright, Cypress, Pytest, RSpec. We use whatever fits your stack. If you have nothing, we'll recommend based on your language and team size.
Do you write tests or teach our team?
Both, in phases. We write the first layer of coverage to establish patterns and velocity — then teach your engineers the same approach so they can maintain it independently.
How long until our team is autonomous?
Typically 60–90 days to meaningful independence. We don't optimize for dependency — a team that doesn't need us after 90 days is a success story we want to tell.
What's your coverage target?
We don't chase a coverage percentage — we chase meaningful coverage of critical paths. A 40% coverage number that covers your checkout flow is more valuable than 90% coverage of utility functions.
How does the subscription work?
Pick a service, subscribe, we start. Flat monthly rate. No hourly tracking, no surprise invoices. Pause or cancel anytime.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. No lock-in, no exit fees.
How fast do you start delivering?
Most services are activated within the first week. Ongoing deliverables follow a clear weekly and monthly cadence.
Who works on my systems?
A senior engineer with 10+ years of experience in performance, observability, and SRE. Not outsourced, not rotated.
How do we communicate?
100% async by default. Slack for questions, Loom for walkthroughs, PDF for reports. Video calls only when they add real value.
