02 — Test Automation

Automation that still runs two releases later.

Most automation estates do not fail on day one. They fail in month nine, when maintenance costs more than the manual testing it replaced.

The problem

Why customers call us.

Recorded scripts break on the first UI change. Frameworks built by whoever was available become unmaintainable the moment that person leaves. The result is a suite nobody trusts and everybody still pays for.

What we take responsibility for

Web, API and mobile test automation.

Deciding what is worth automating — and what is not
Framework and module architecture designed for change, not for a demo
Automation across SAP, web, API, mobile and desktop
Integration into your CI/CD pipeline and distributed execution
Maintenance standards so the suite stays alive after we leave
Coaching your engineers into ownership, if that is the goal
Load and performance testing with NeoLoad, JMeter, k6 and Gatling, on the same processes the functional suite covers

How we start

Three steps.

01
We look at your existing estate and what it costs you today
02
Architecture and candidate selection — first suite scoped small enough to prove the design
03
Build, integrate, then either scale or hand over

From our work

An example.

For a logistics group in Austria we designed a Playwright framework and handed it over — architecture, module standards and the reasoning behind both — so the internal team could extend it without us.

Questions we get asked

Straight answers.

Tosca or open source?

It depends on your landscape, your team and your licence situation. We deliver both, which is why we can answer that question without a commercial interest in the outcome.

How much can realistically be automated?

Rarely more than 60 to 70 % of a regression scope, and the last 10 % usually costs more than it returns. We tell you where that line sits in your estate.

Can our own testers maintain it afterwards?

That is the design goal. If it needs us permanently, we built it wrong.
