Testing that survives
contact with your codebase.

Every engagement ends the same way: your team holding a suite they trust and can maintain. Reports are a by-product, not the deliverable.

Test Automation

For teams whose suite takes ninety minutes, fails randomly, and gets skipped when a release is urgent.

Framework Build

A suite designed for your stack — Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, pytest, JUnit — with page objects, fixtures and data setup that hold up past the first fifty tests.

Pipeline Integration

Tests running on every pull request in a sensible amount of time, with parallelization, sharding and reporting your developers will actually read.

Flaky Suite Rescue

We instrument the failures, find the real causes — timing, shared state, test order, environment drift — and fix them.

Functional & Exploratory Testing

Human testers for the problems automation is structurally bad at finding.

Exploratory Sessions

Time-boxed, charter-driven testing with full session notes. Best value per hour we offer, and usually where the interesting defects come from.

Regression Cycles

Structured passes before a major release, run against a documented test plan so you know exactly what was and wasn't covered.

UAT Support

We write the scripts, train your business users, and triage what they report so your developers only see well-formed, reproducible defects.

Performance Engineering

Answering "will it hold?" with a number instead of a shrug.

Load & Stress Testing

Realistic traffic models built from your production analytics, ramped until something breaks — then a written account of what broke and why.

Soak & Endurance

Multi-day runs that surface the slow killers: memory leaks, connection pool exhaustion, log growth, cache degradation.

Bottleneck Analysis

Profiling and trace analysis down to the query or call that's costing you, with a prioritized list of what to fix for the biggest gain.

Specialist Testing

The areas most teams know they should cover and rarely have time to.

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 audits combining automated scans with real assistive-technology testing, reported against the specific success criteria you'd be judged on.

Cross-Browser & Device

Coverage across the browsers and devices your analytics say matter, on real hardware rather than emulators where it counts.

API & Integration

Contract testing, schema validation and failure-mode coverage for the seams between services — where the expensive defects tend to live.
