Automation Starter
Automate what truly impacts your delivery.
A practical pilot to build a useful, measurable automation foundation connected to your real release process.
Wanting to automate is not enough when the effort ends up scattered.
Many organizations want to 'automate,' but the effort ends up scattered: poorly selected test cases, hard-to-maintain frameworks, low traceability, little connection with CI/CD, or test suites that don't reflect real business risks. The result is investment without return and team frustration.
What the Automation Starter covers
- Identification of critical flows to automate based on risk and frequency
- Definition of the right technical approach for the team's context
- Framework design for API and/or Web testing
- Implementation of prioritized tests
- Execution integrated with the team's delivery cycle
- Definition of conventions and maintenance guidelines
- Knowledge transfer to the team for autonomous continuity
What you receive at the end
- Documented and configured automation framework
- Automated test cases covering prioritized critical flows
- Execution structure with clear reporting
- Continuity and scaling recommendations
- Team maintenance guidelines and conventions
- Coverage backlog for the next phase
What this service gives you
Reduces manual regression on critical flows
Increases repeatability and visibility of quality status
Improves team confidence in releases
Prevents improvised automation without strategy or judgment
Leaves a sustainable foundation the team can maintain and grow
This service is right for you if…
- Manual regression is slowing down your release frequency
- You want to start automation with focus and strategy, not trial-and-error
- You have existing automation that needs better structure and direction
- Your team needs a solid initial foundation to grow coverage over time
Tools tailored to your context
We work with your existing stack or the most appropriate one for your team. We have experience with Karate DSL, Rest Assured, Selenium, Serenity BDD, Screenplay, Gherkin, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and others. Tool selection follows strategy — not the other way around.
What comes after the Automation Starter?
The pilot defines what to scale. Next steps may include broader automation coverage, deeper CI/CD integration, new modules or domains, or QA Governance to consolidate criteria and metrics.
Automation with judgment, not just tooling
The Automation Starter is designed for teams that have already decided to automate — but need to do it right from the start. The biggest risk in automation is not choosing the wrong tool: it is automating the wrong cases, with a design no one can maintain, disconnected from the actual delivery process.
This service starts from the team's real context. We review which flows are critical, which risks are relevant, what the team's technical capacity is, and how automation fits into the existing delivery cycle. From there, we design and implement an initial suite that delivers value from the first sprint — not just on paper.
The result is not just test code. It is an automation foundation with clear conventions, reporting, maintenance instructions, and a continuity backlog. The team ends up with its own judgment to decide what to automate next and how to sustain it.
What pairs well with Automation Starter?
Executive QA Assessment
Before automating, a diagnostic identifies which flows and priorities make most sense to automate first.
Explore the AssessmentQA Governance
To sustain automation over time and keep it aligned with delivery, QA governance is the natural complement.
Explore QA GovernanceProject & Product Management
If automation is part of a broader initiative with backlog and releases, management connects it all to value.
