When does it make sense?
Typical triggers where our consulting delivers the greatest leverage:
- →Regression tests block the release pipeline – manual test runs take days
- →Tool selection is open – Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Robot Framework?
- →Existing automated tests are unreliable and no longer taken seriously
- →Test coverage is low or unknown, with no objective picture of quality
- →Automation runs, but not in CI/CD – tests are only started locally
Our capabilities
Request consulting →Strategy & Tools
- Introducing and establishing test automation
- Developing test automation strategies
- Evaluating and introducing suitable test automation tools (e.g. Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, UFT One)
Engineering & Implementation
- Supporting the transformation from manual to automated test cases→ Regression testing effort typically reduced by 50–70 %
- Building test data management for automation: provisioning, anonymisation and resetting of test data per run (AI-assisted test data generation is a separate topic)
- Building the CI integration: smoke and core regression per push, full regression nightly
Operation & Stabilisation
- Handover to your team with documented conventions and review rules
- Stabilising flaky tests: root cause analysis instead of reruns, quarantine with an expiry date→ test results you can rely on
- Maintaining and evolving the test suite across releases – runtime, stability and coverage metrics in the reporting
Project support
We support your project team on site. In the role of “Test Engineer”, we take over the automation of the test cases in your project.

Frequently asked questions about test automation
When is test automation worth it?
As soon as regression tests recur and releases become more frequent. Rule of thumb: anything you test manually more than three or four times is an automation candidate. The Automation Readiness Quick-Check clarifies the ROI before you invest.
Which tools and stacks do you work with?
Vendor-independent: Playwright, Cypress and Selenium among others, plus CI/CD integration with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins or Azure. We choose based on your stack and team – not on license models.
What does getting started cost?
The Automation Readiness Quick-Check costs €2,500 plus VAT (1 day). Building, migrating or stabilizing test suites is scoped by effort – with a fixed-price offer up front.
Do you also take over existing, unstable test suites?
Yes. Stabilizing flaky suites, migrating to modern frameworks and coaching your team are core services – a typical engagement runs 16 weeks (see the example engagement).
