QA & Test Automation

Release confidence, measured in coverage and cycle time.

Test strategy, automated suites, and CI-integrated quality gates — so regressions are caught by a pipeline instead of by your customers.

Overview

Quality engineering is where Develune started, and it still shapes how we build everything else. We do not treat testing as a phase at the end — we treat it as the mechanism that lets a team ship weekly without fear. That means automating the flows that matter, wiring them into CI, and being honest about what is not covered.

What's included

  • Test strategy and QA process design
  • End-to-end automation (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium)
  • API and contract testing
  • BDD suites with Cucumber and Gherkin
  • Regression, exploratory, and release testing
  • CI/CD quality gates and reporting

How the engagement runs

  1. 1

    Coverage audit

    An assessment of what is tested, what is not, and which untested paths carry the most business risk — with a prioritised plan.

  2. 2

    Automation framework

    A maintainable suite using the Page Object Model or equivalent, structured so new tests are cheap for your team to add.

  3. 3

    Pipeline integration

    Tests running on every pull request and deploy, with clear reporting and failures that block a bad release automatically.

  4. 4

    Handover and training

    Documentation and walkthroughs so your engineers own the suite after we step back, rather than depending on us to maintain it.

What you get out of it

  • Regression cycles measured in minutes instead of hours
  • Automation coverage of the flows that actually generate revenue
  • Broken builds blocked before they reach production
  • Bug reports engineers can act on without a follow-up call

This is a good fit when

  • Regression testing before every release takes hours of manual work
  • The same bugs keep reappearing in production
  • You have tests, but they are flaky and everyone ignores them
  • You are scaling the team and need quality gates before velocity breaks things

Typical stack

  • Cypress
  • Playwright
  • Selenium
  • Cucumber
  • Postman
  • GitHub Actions
