Automatic test results, delivered quickly.

Test Automation is about producing rapid results, in any environment, at any time, including on demand. The benefits are near zero execution costs compared to manual testing. Test Automation is code, whether it is produced with programming or via a ‘low-code’ or ‘no-code’ solution. In these situations the code is translated from configuration, but nonetheless it should be still treated as code and needs to be managed as such. This includes maintenance and adding coverage to the suite over time to keep it relevant and valuable. Fast feedback and avoiding manual execution cost are the primary motivators for implementing automation.

  • Whether you're building custom open source test automation solutions, or one of a myriad of different commercial test automation tools, our specialist test automators can design, configure and operationalise whatever you need so you can commence automating and seeing that return on investment move into the positive.

  • In situations where your tool of choice requires programming or scripting, our test automators can design and implement your scripts in a pragmatic and collaborative manner to ensure you have the testing collateral to super speed your SDLC with fast test coverage.

  • We can integrate your new test automation into your Continuous Integration or Continuous Delivery pipeline (where the tool supports it) to ensure that results are automatically created as frequently as you need without human interaction so your changes have rich coverage reports so you can commit the next change with confidence.

  • New to automation and not sure how to start? We can help you create a strategy, we can assess the technologies you need tested and guide you to the most suitable tool for your appetite and budget. We are agnostic on all tools, treating each as suitable tools for certain use cases. We will work with you closely to ensure your needs are understood and we'll show you where and how each tool considered aligns (or doesn't) with your specific criteria.

  • We can optimise your automated scenarios into components that can be run selectively (depending on criteria), run in parallel and run in different environments with different data payloads. We're happy to listen and understand what you need and design a solution that will work for you.

  • The biggest feature of experienced Functional testers is that they quickly become Subject Matter Experts in your domain. The problem that naturally follows is that they can only do one thing at a time. This is where automation comes into its own. We can automate the core workflow that the testers normally perform so that they can be freed up to work on your most important capabilities that you need tested without incurring risk.
