Ship faster because breaking things got harder.
Test automation, release gates, and quality process for teams whose customers currently do the testing, retrofitted to your existing codebase, not just greenfield.
01 · When you need this
If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.
- Every release breaks something that worked last week.
- The team is afraid to touch a module, so it quietly rots.
- Testing means the founder clicking around the night before launch.
- A regression reached your biggest customer and the postmortem was 'be more careful.'
- You're about to scale the team and quality is already wobbling with three people.
02 · What we deliver
Exactly what you walk away with.
No vague 'solutions'. These are the concrete deliverables: each one is a line in the proposal and a checkbox at handover.
DEL.01
Test strategy
What to test at which layer, and just as important, what not to. Coverage theater helps nobody.
DEL.02
Automated suites
The critical user journeys covered end-to-end; the money paths covered twice.
DEL.03
CI release gates
Broken code physically can't reach production. The pipeline is the discipline.
DEL.04
Regression harness for legacy code
Characterization tests around the scary module so it can finally be changed safely.
DEL.05
Quality dashboard
Flaky tests, escape rate, coverage where it matters, visible, trending.
DEL.06
Team habits
Review checklists and test patterns your engineers keep using after we leave.
03 · How it runs
Phase by phase, with nothing hidden.
Every phase states what happens and what you see in your project portal while it does.
Risk mapping
3-5 days
Where do failures actually hurt? Money paths, data integrity, the marquee customer's workflow.
In your portal: The risk map: testing effort follows it.
Safety net
1-2 weeks
End-to-end tests over the critical journeys; the pipeline gains a gate.
In your portal: Suite results on every commit, visible.
Depth
1-3 weeks
Unit and integration coverage where the risk map says it pays; flake hunting.
In your portal: Coverage and escape-rate trends.
Handover
3-5 days
Patterns documented, team trained, dashboard handed over.
In your portal: The playbook your team keeps.
04 · Standards
Non-negotiables, in writing.
Risk-weighted coverage
100% coverage is a vanity metric. The checkout path at 100% and the settings page at 40% is engineering.
Fast suites
A slow test suite gets skipped, then deleted. Ours run in minutes or they get fixed.
Zero tolerance for flakes
A test that cries wolf trains people to ignore wolves. Flaky tests get fixed or removed, never retried into silence.
Tests as documentation
A new engineer should learn how the system behaves by reading the tests.
05 · Stack
Tools chosen for your handover, not our comfort.
We test in your stack's native tools: the suite has to feel like part of your codebase or your team won't maintain it, and a suite nobody maintains is a countdown.
06 · Questions
Asked often, answered straight.
Won't tests slow our shipping down?
Our code wasn't written to be testable. Now what?
Do we still need manual testing?
