The problem

Most teams still test manually — a losing 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.

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.

Services

Four packages — each with a guaranteed deliverable

We don't sell hours. We sell a working pipeline, handed over with documentation. Maintenance retainer is optional.

Live demo · hardcoded

AI Test Generator — from user story to Cypress test

Type what a user should do. For illustration we return a preset Cypress test. Outputs on this page are hardcoded — this is a static demo, no real AI call. In production we generate tests via Claude API + our framework.

💡 Tip: press Cmd/Ctrl + Enter to run. Demo is hardcoded — in production we use Claude API + our framework.

    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.

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

    ⚠️ All values are indicative only. We'll compute a precise estimate tailored to your team after the first free consultation.

    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.

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

    Pricing modelYou 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 pricingNo. 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 testsThe 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 start4+ 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 livesIn 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.
    CommunicationAccount 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 handoffYou 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.

    Testimonials

    What our clients say

    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.

    We needed our business analysts to be able to write test scenarios in Excel, without IT. They built it in 4 weeks. Today we have 200+ scenarios managed by people who don't code.

    Mobile banking with 3DS and biometrics — for 6 months we couldn't stably test it on both platforms. PTA delivered the framework and BrowserStack integration in 7 weeks. We stopped fearing releases.

    FAQ

    Questions we get most often

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Next step

    30-minute discovery call. Free.

    We'll talk about where you are and what you need. If it doesn't make sense, we part as friends. If it does, you'll have a roadmap and price in 48 hours.
