Test automation review
An assessment of an existing suite: what it covers, what it only appears to cover, where flakiness comes from, and which tests are worth keeping.
Services
Four areas, all hands-on.
Engagements are usually short and scoped. Where a review is enough, that is what is recommended — a longer engagement is not the default.
Automation foundations
Setting up a test layer from scratch — framework choice, structure, fixtures and data, and the conventions that keep it readable a year later.
QA workflow improvement
Test planning, acceptance criteria, bug triage and quality gates shaped around how the team already works rather than an imported process.
Release readiness
Regression strategy, pre-release checks, and a rollback path that has actually been tried rather than assumed.
How an engagement runs
- 1. Short discovery
- A look at the repository, the CI configuration, the test suite and the last few releases. Usually a few days.
- 2. Written findings
- What is fragile, what is fine, and what is not worth touching — with the reasoning, so the team can disagree on specifics.
- 3. Focused work
- Implementation of the agreed items, in the team's own repository and conventions.
- 4. Handover
- Documentation of what changed and why, so nothing depends on an outside consultant remaining available.
Working arrangements
- Remote, with overlap on the team's working hours.
- Fixed-scope reviews or ongoing part-time support.
- Work happens in the team's repository, under its review process.
