2-4 week Playwright automation service
The automated test suite your team never had time to build.
Give us a test URL and credentials for the roles we should exercise. We explore the product, then combine pre-designed, well-sequenced AI prompts with engineer judgement to draft, challenge and prioritise the test cases. Once the cases are finalised, a second sequence of prompts and engineering steps turns them into Playwright tests, fixtures and synthetic test data. Your team supplies access; it can review or contribute wherever useful, while we own the detailed discovery and build.

First we finalise the test cases. Then we automate them.
This is not one large prompt that produces a pile of tests. We use repeatable chains of specialised prompts to explore, question and expand the coverage, with an automation engineer making the decisions between each step. We own and finalise the test map; your team can review, challenge or add context whenever it wants to.
01
Start with the URL and safe access
We need a reachable test environment and credentials for the representative user roles.
02
Explore how the product behaves
We exercise the journeys, permissions, validation, state changes and likely failure points.
03
Draft and challenge the test cases
Sequenced AI prompts surface scenarios, edge cases, data variations and gaps for engineer review.
04
Finalise useful coverage
Our engineers remove noise, rank the risks and settle the test map. Client participation is welcome but optional.
05
Build the suite and test data
A second chain of specialised prompts and engineering steps creates Playwright tests, synthetic fixtures, setup and cleanup.
06
Make it ready for CI
We verify the suite, add failure evidence and connect it to your pipeline when access is available.
2-4 week starting-point planner
What should your test suite protect?
Choose the current state of the product. A URL and test access are enough to begin useful exploration; product documents, code, APIs and data structures make the recommendation more precise.
Start with the journeys that matter most
The plan will combine your current suite, release rhythm, application type and most important behaviour.
Nothing you select is sent or stored. Credentials are never entered here; we arrange secure test access after the first conversation.
In 2-4 weeks, you have a suite your team can run.
With repository and pipeline access, we install the suite in your codebase and run it in CI. Without that access, we can still deliver an evidence-backed test catalogue and portable Playwright suite as a useful first automation baseline.
01
A finalised test case catalogue
Prioritised journeys, roles, failure modes, edge cases and expected outcomes established before automation.
02
A maintainable Playwright suite
Browser and API checks built around the finalised behaviour, with clear names and reliable assertions.
03
Generated synthetic test data
Fixtures, setup and cleanup matched to each scenario so your team does not have to prepare every record.
04
CI integration
Pipeline configuration that runs the right checks on the changes where they can prevent damage.
05
Failures people can act on
Errors, action logs, traces, screenshots, videos and network evidence for faster diagnosis.
06
Documentation and handover
How to run, diagnose and extend the suite, owned entirely by your team.
More context makes the suite sharper. Less context can still produce useful coverage.
With only the visible product, we can still cover major journeys, roles, validation and common failure paths through disciplined exploration. That black-box first pass often protects more useful behaviour than teams expect. Additional context lets us test intent, hidden rules and system boundaries rather than only what can be observed.
Enough to start
- A reachable test or staging URL
- Credentials for representative user roles
- Permission to exercise real workflows safely
- Optional access to someone when observed behaviour is ambiguous
What makes the work substantially better
- Product and workflow documentation
- Repository, API and data-structure access
- Known defects, business rules and test-data constraints
- Pipeline access for direct CI integration
Optional ongoing maintenance
When your product changes, the test suite changes with it.
After the initial delivery, we can maintain the suite for a small monthly subscription. When a workflow changes or a new version is released, we adapt the affected tests and test data, then add coverage for new behaviour. Your team can send release notes or simply give us access to the updated test environment; we handle the test work.
- Adapt existing testsUpdate selectors, assertions, journeys and fixtures when behaviour changes.
- Add new coverageWrite new cases and automation for features, roles and failure paths.
- Refresh test dataKeep synthetic records, setup and cleanup aligned with the application.
- Keep CI dependableResolve flaky checks, update dependencies and preserve useful failure evidence.
Subscription scope is based on release frequency and the expected level of change.
Minimal demand on your team
Start with a URL and safe test access.
We explore the product, finalise the test catalogue and build the Playwright suite, synthetic test data and CI configuration. Your team can review or contribute if it wants to, but it does not need to manage the process. Product documents, code and data structures are valuable accelerators, not blockers to a useful first step.
