End-to-end suites

Playwright or Cypress tests for the journeys that make you money: sign-up, checkout, billing.

API tests

Contract and integration tests that catch breaking changes before the frontend does.

CI integration

Tests running in parallel on every pull request, with clear reports and no flaky reruns.

Test strategy

What to test where, what to stop testing by hand, and how to keep the suite fast.

What we vet for

A senior engineer, not a recruiter, runs every stage: a communication screen, a practical task in your stack, a technical interview and references. You see the scorecard and interview the shortlist.

Playwright or Cypress with TypeScript
API testing with Postman, REST clients or Pact
CI pipelines: GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
Fixing flaky tests at the root
Exploratory testing and clear bug reports
Mobile testing with Appium or Maestro

Questions

Straight answers on time, money, people and IP.

Playwright or Cypress?

For new suites we usually recommend Playwright: it is fast, runs every browser and handles parallel runs well. We also maintain existing Cypress suites.

Do they do manual testing too?

Yes, exploratory testing on new features. The goal is that repeated checks become automated.

How fast can they start?

QA automation engineers are a matched role: we source and vet engineers for your product and team, usually within 2 to 3 weeks, and you interview the shortlist.

What does it cost to hire QA automation engineers?

From $2,200 a month (about $14/hr) for a mid-level engineer, $2,900 for senior and $3,800 for a lead, for about 160 hours a month. Overtime, when you need it, is 1.5× the normal rate.

Who owns the code?

You do, from the first commit. We sign a mutual NDA before you share details, every contract assigns all code and IP to you, and the code lives in your repositories.
