QA Automation

Ship fast. Break nothing.

Test automation woven into how your team already delivers — not a separate QA phase that everything waits for. Releases become routine; regressions stop reaching customers.

What we build

  • Automated test suites where they pay off most — critical paths first
  • CI integration: every merge tested, every release gated
  • Test infrastructure your own engineers will actually maintain
  • AI-assisted test generation, human-reviewed

Proof

Auth0

Part of seven years inside Auth0's product was building the automated testing that let a growing team keep shipping the sign-in widget and the libraries without breaking the people who depended on them.

Without releases being events

When teams come to us

  • Releases feared and scheduled like surgeries
  • Manual regression taking days per cycle
  • Bugs found by customers before QA

Why releases become events

A release is scheduled like surgery when nobody trusts what will happen after it. The manual regression pass takes days, so releases are batched to make the pass worth it; batching makes each release bigger, so the pass finds more, so it takes longer; and because every release is now large and risky, it is scheduled for a quiet night, with the people who know the system on call. None of that is a process failure. It is the rational response to not having tests you trust.

The way out is not more testing; it is testing woven into how the team already delivers. The critical paths — the ones that must never break — get automated first and run on every merge, in minutes, so a regression is caught by the engineer who introduced it while it is still one change. Releases get smaller because there is no reason to batch them. And the people who used to do the regression pass move to the work that automation cannot do: exploratory testing, risk, the judgment call about what "correct" means for the next feature. Releases become boring — which is the point.

How we build it

  1. Risk-map the critical paths

    what must never break

  2. Automate highest-value first

    coverage where it pays

  3. Gate the pipeline

    every merge tested, every release checked

  4. Maintain with your team

    suites your engineers will actually keep alive

Tests are the contract — how we ship with coding agents

Tests as the contract

Critical paths first

the checkout, the login, the report the CFO reads. Coverage is not a percentage; it is the list of things that must never break, tested every merge. Everything else earns its test when it earns its risk.

A person decides what correct means

agents scaffold tests fast and decide correctness badly. The generated case is reviewed by an engineer who knows what the feature must and must not do, and a test that merely mirrors the implementation is rejected.

The gate is automatic

every merge runs the suite; every release waits for it. A gate that only runs on someone's machine is a suggestion.

Maintained, not abandoned

a suite your engineers can't read is a suite they will delete. We build in your stack, in your conventions, and hand over something the team keeps alive because it is theirs.

A release is an event only when nobody trusts the tests. The goal is a Friday deploy nobody notices.

FAQ

  • Will automation replace our QA people?

    It replaces the repetitive part; human judgment moves up to exploratory and risk work.

  • How much coverage do we need?

    The number that matters is confidence on critical paths, not a vanity percentage.

  • Do you use AI to generate tests?

    Yes, human-reviewed: volume from AI, meaning from seniors.

  • How does this change when code is written with AI?

    It matters more, not less. Agents produce code faster than anyone can read it, and a test that an agent wrote to satisfy its own implementation proves nothing. The discipline is the same we run ourselves: the agent generates the cases, a person decides what correctness means, and the gate runs before a human spends attention on the review.

  • How long before we see fewer regressions?

    The first suites cover the critical paths within the first sprints, and the pipeline gate goes in with them. The change most teams notice first is not fewer bugs — it is that releases stop being scheduled around fear. Fewer customer-found bugs follow as coverage reaches the paths where they came from.

  • Which tests first?

    The ones attached to the things that must never break: the checkout, the login, the report the CFO reads, the integration a customer depends on. We risk-map those with your team in the first week and automate them in value order. Coverage percentages come later, if at all; confidence on the critical paths is the number that matters.
