What percentage of our tests should be automated?

There is no useful fixed percentage. Automate the flows that are stable, business-critical and tested on every release, such as login, checkout and billing. Keep manual and exploratory testing for new features and usability. We map your flows and propose an order based on risk and effort.

How long does it take to automate a regression suite?

A smoke suite covering your most important flows usually runs in CI within two to four weeks. A fuller regression suite grows over the following months alongside development. You see new tests in pull requests every week, so progress is visible and reviewable throughout.

Can you fix our flaky test suite?

Yes. We run the suite repeatedly to measure which tests fail intermittently and why, then fix the causes: timing assumptions, fragile selectors, shared data and unmocked external calls. You get a report of what was fixed, what was deleted as low value and what still needs attention.

Who maintains the tests after they are written?

Either your team or ours. Tests are written in your repository with the same code review standards as production code, so your developers can own them. Many clients keep one of our automation engineers on a monthly plan to update tests as features change.

Automation that your team trusts

Test automation services for US software teams

We build and maintain automated test suites that run on every pull request, fail for real reasons and finish fast enough that developers do not skip them. Playwright, Cypress, Selenium and Appium, wired into your CI.

About quality assurance

Picking the right framework for your stack

For most new web projects we recommend Playwright: it runs Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, handles multiple tabs and origins, and its trace viewer makes failures easy to debug. Cypress suits teams that want tests close to their front-end code and a strong interactive runner. Selenium still makes sense for large existing suites or Java and C# teams, and Appium covers native and hybrid mobile apps.

If you already have a suite, we do not rewrite it by default. We measure its runtime, failure rate and coverage of critical flows, then recommend whether to repair, extend or migrate it, with an estimate for each option. Migration, when it makes sense, happens flow by flow, so the old suite keeps protecting releases until the new tests cover the same ground.

Running tests in CI on every change

Tests are only useful if they run automatically. We set up GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Azure Pipelines to run a fast smoke suite on every pull request and the full regression suite on merge or nightly, sharded across parallel runners so feedback arrives in minutes. Results post back to the pull request with traces, screenshots and videos attached to each failure.

Test data is created through APIs or database seeding at the start of each run, rather than depending on records someone set up by hand, so tests can run in any order and on any environment. Secrets for test accounts live in your CI secret store, and environments are cleaned up afterwards so staging does not fill with thousands of leftover test users.

Fixing flaky tests instead of retrying them

A flaky suite teaches developers to ignore red builds. We track every failure by test and cause, then fix the usual culprits: fixed sleeps replaced by waiting on real conditions, brittle CSS selectors replaced by roles and test IDs, shared test data split per run, and network calls to third parties stubbed. Quarantined tests get an owner and a date, not a permanent retry.

Questions

Test automation: common questions

For a new web suite, Playwright is usually our first choice because of its cross-browser support, auto-waiting and trace viewer. Cypress works well for front-end teams that want component tests. Selenium is right when you have a large existing suite or need language support Playwright does not cover for your team.
