Typical starting point
We often encounter the following situation: a Selenium or UFT test suite that has grown over the years is unstable, slow and only runs locally. Each regression run takes several days and is considered unreliable by the team. CI/CD integration is missing and test coverage is unclear.
The typical assignment we receive: migration to a stable solution that can be used in CI/CD, plus coaching for the internal team so that it can develop it further independently.
How we typically proceed
Sixteen weeks, five phases – two senior consultants with an architecture and engineering focus:
- Tool evaluation (weeks 1–3) – Cypress vs. Playwright vs. the status quo – assessment by stability, learning curve and CI/CD suitability.
- Architecture concept (weeks 3–5) – page object model, test data management, shared coding standard.
- CI/CD integration (weeks 5–8) – connection to the existing pipeline (GitLab/Azure/Jenkins), parallel test runners for speed.
- Migrating the most important test cases (weeks 8–13) – prioritized migration of the business-critical tests, decommissioning of the old suite.
- Coaching and handover (weeks 13–16) – pair programming with the internal team, written maintenance guide.
Typical impact figures
These are the orders of magnitude we typically see a few months after the end of an engagement in comparable mandates:
