AI-assisted software testing

Four ways we turn you into a QA-ready team.

Q: How much does it cost?

Starter package (basic Cypress framework + CI/CD + 10–15 E2E tests) starts at €2,490 one-time. Complex projects with Azure/Jira integration typically €6–12k. Precise quote within 48 hours of discovery call.

Q: How long does it take?

Starter package ~3 weeks. Full framework with CI/CD 5–8 weeks depending on product complexity. After delivery, monthly retainer for maintenance is available.

Q: Are you employees or an agency?

We're a small team of senior QA engineers. We work directly — no middlemen, no offshoring. You see exactly the people writing your tests.

Q: What if we already have a framework but it doesn't work well?

Most common scenario. We do a code audit (free on first call), identify flaky patterns, duplicates, and propose a refactor plan. Often 20% of code rewritten = 80% stability improvement.

Q: Do you work outside Slovakia?

Yes — CZ, AT, and the entire EU. We invoice in € or CZK. Contracts in SK/EN. We have GDPR-sensitive project experience (fintech).

Q: Why don't you offer a monthly retainer?

Because you don't need it. Most agencies charge it 'just in case' — around €3–5,000 per month just to keep the framework running. We hand over the code, documentation and onboarding of your team; if you want, we do maintenance ad-hoc (hour / block of hours), but you decide. We don't have a business model that depends on your lock-in.

Q: Do you run ISTQB training for our team?

No — we build the framework and hand it over. For ISTQB/TMAP certification there are specialists who do only that; we don't want to be second-best there. What IS included in the price: **hands-on onboarding of your team** to the delivered framework (typically 1–2 days), so you can add and modify tests without us.

Q: NDA? How do you protect our code?

We sign NDA before the first discovery call (our template or yours). Source code stays in your repo, not ours. Staff uses dedicated FDE + 2FA machines.

Fixed price from €1,990, no monthly retainer, senior QA engineer you know from day one. Code stays with you — even before final invoice.

The problem

Most teams still test manually — and lose hundreds of thousands a year

Most software companies still have manual regression testing. Every release is a night of begging senior testers to stay. That can change within a quarter.

~85%

regression time reduction

after full E2E automation (vs. manual QA).

6 wks

from first call to live pipeline

for zero-baseline projects. Framework upgrades ship even faster.

bugs escaped undetected

How we work

A pipeline that runs itself

Every commit triggers the test suite. Failures get classified automatically and routed to the devs who fix them. No manual tickets.

1. Commit

Developer pushes code to the repo.

2. Test suite

Cypress + Playwright in parallel on 6 workers.

3. AI triage

Fail → real bug or flake?

4. Jira ticket

Auto-created with logs, video, assignee.

5. Slack alert

Team notified within 30 seconds.

The night run

A build goes red at 03:11. By morning it's green.

The nightly smoke run finds two failures. One is a bug in the test, the other a bug in the product — and those are two completely different stories. Here is the whole night, minute by minute.

Nobody is awake

47 specs, multi-region, starting at 01:00. Two went red. Without an agent the team finds out at standup — and starts arguing about whether it's flaky.

FAILED E2E Smoke · Build #241 · 2 of 47

check-top-menu user-registration

Same red. Two different stories.

This is the whole difference. Anyone can retry — saying which side is broken is the work a senior tester otherwise does by hand.

TEST BUG check-top-menu

The API returns 200 without data.layout for one menu item → TypeError in the test code. The app renders correctly.

→ The bug is in the test, not the product.

APP BUG user-registration

The endpoint returns HTTP 200, but the body says status=Error. Three retries, identical every time. Not flaky.

→ The bug is consistently server-side.

It plays on its own — click anywhere to take over.

Savings calculator

How much is manual testing costing you?

Adjust the sliders for your team. Calculation is conservative — automation typically saves 80–90% of regression time.

Manual tests per release 40

QA hourly rate 35 €

Releases per month 4×

We assume ~7 minutes per manual test and 85% reduction after automation — numbers from real projects.

Why us

We don't sell hours. We deliver outcomes.

We're a small senior EU team without sub-contractors. Prices are on the website, we sign NDA before the first call, and you take the code home to your own GitHub — even if we were to stop tomorrow.

Prices on the web, fixed contract

See prices directly in the packages. In an industry where competitors quote 'by phone after an estimate', you know where you stand instantly. No scope creep after signing.

AI in production, not in slide decks

We use Claude Code and Cursor daily when writing your tests. Not as a buzzword. We'll show you the real workflow, real time saved, and where it still doesn't work.

No monthly retainer

When we hand over the framework, you only pay for maintenance you explicitly ask for. No €3–5,000/month 'so tests don't break'. Your code is on your GitHub, framework lives without us.

Compare

How we differ from the competition

We don't shy away from open comparison. Here's what sets us apart from the typical alternatives you've been buying QA from.

	Hourly external testers	Traditional IT agency	Professional Test Automation
Pricing model	You pay per hour. Estimates slip by weeks, final invoice is higher than planned.	Large upfront fee + a monthly charge even after delivery.	Fixed price and fixed scope — you know upfront what you pay and what you get.
Public pricing	No. You get them after a discovery call and 'needs analysis'.	No. 'Every project is unique' — the price list is a sales call.	Yes, directly in the packages on the website. No 'call us' games.
Who actually writes the tests	The CV you saw ≠ the person writing the code — often a junior offshore.	They show you seniors at the pitch; juniors actually deliver.	Senior QA engineer you know from day 1. No switching out.
Time to start	4+ weeks to hire, train, and onboard someone.	8+ weeks of kick-off meetings, documents, and ceremonies.	Within 3 days of signing — first working tests in week 1.
AI usage	'We're sticking to proven tools' (= they don't use AI).	Yes in the pitch. In code — old Selenium scripts from 2018.	Claude Code & Cursor daily in production · measurable time savings.
Where your code lives	In their cloud or repo. Hard to extract when you leave.	Their own platform — you can't modify or maintain without them.	In your GitHub. Clean, documented, built on open-source libraries.
Communication	Account manager forwards emails between you and the team.	Project manager stands between you and the actual developer.	Direct with a senior engineer · shared Slack channel.
After handoff	You keep paying hourly for any tweaks or maintenance.	€3–5,000/month retainer 'to keep tests from breaking'.	Maintenance is optional — you can run the framework yourself or with any QA.
GDPR / NDA	Test data may end up outside the EU. DPA is often missing or unclear.	Officially EU, but sub-contractors are often in India or Ukraine.	Slovak LLC · written DPA · staff works only on EU-local machines.
Extra training & courses	No — just selling hours.	Yes, but you pay separately. Their entire business model is courses.	Onboarding your team to the delivered framework is part of the project. No extra fee.

Not sure which type of competitor you're comparing us to? Ask us directly — we'll talk it through on a call.

Quotes are anonymized — every project ran under NDA. We provide industry context, author role, and company size.

We had a 23% flaky rate and every Tuesday release was drama. After 5 weeks of refactoring we're below 4% and the CI pipeline detects bugs faster than our most experienced manual tester.
