Automation Testing Services
Every software product in its development life cycle comes to a point when it is no longer possible to maintain its quality via manual testing only. At this stage, the introduction of test automation becomes mandatory. It can help support the product's quality throughout the rapid development cycles and growing market demands. QA automation services can help you speed up and optimize parts of quality assurance processes and testing.
Automated software testing as a service is integral to continuous integration (CI). It helps you stabilize your product's performance and save time and effort the quality control takes. In addition, it is an effective solution for finding bugs at different stages of the software life cycle, and it is crucial in organizing regression testing as automating the routine processes eliminates or at least significantly reduces the human factor.
The automated software testing solutions we create are integrated into the CI/CD processes and provide immediate value, justifying your investment. Our QA team provides a high level of testing organization through professional management and ensures that the best practices for software automated testing and product quality management are applied.

Benefits of automated testing services
In a high-tech environment, the speed and efficiency of quality control play an essential role.
Therefore, there are reasons for deciding in favor of test automation:
Therefore, there are reasons for deciding in favor of test automation:
Speed
With software automated testing, large numbers of tests can be run in parallel, allowing for much faster testing. For example, if you have 2,000 tests, running them in 10 threads would take only an hour, compared to at least a week if testing manually. Autotests can also be run outside business hours so your team can get test results the next morning.
Different conditions
Automated tests can be run under multiple conditions:
- on different browsers,
- screen sizes,
- operating systems,
- network types and speeds.
Accuracy
Testing has high precision and reliability because its results do not depend on human factors. The system will never forget which test and check you’ve planned to run and won’t miss any step.
Cost-Saving
Automation can replace hundreds of hours of manual testing. This way, it saves on personnel costs and frees up equipment resources.
Security
Security testing is another type of testing that widely uses automation tools for stability and saving working time.
Automated Software Testing Services we provide
We provide automated software testing services, such as building automated testing on your project from scratch or refactoring and maintaining existing autotests. As a full-stack QA company, we also can deliver the creation of manual test cases (test documentation) as a base for future automation.
GUI (Graphical User Interface) Testing
01
Users, 100% of the time, will interact with your product through its user interface. Thus, UI testing is crucial because it is closely related to usability. Before checking for errors in the system, we test the software application's design and user interface elements (for example, menus, buttons, icons, etc.) on different devices and in different environments. High-quality and functional UI can involve more users from the target audience and significantly increase income.
API Testing
02
This type of automated software testing analyzes the program interface of an application to ensure that it meets the stated functionality, security, performance, and reliability requirements. Our specialists pay close attention to API testing since this type of testing does not require the GUI to be implemented and therefore allows start testing your application's business logic as soon as possible. API testing focuses on the requests and responses that various parts of your application exchange. API testing is carried out not only to find errors and defects but also to check the resistance of your application to cyberattacks.
Continuous Testing
03
It is the practice of integrating testing as a fundamental and ongoing aspect of every software life cycle activity. Continuous testing uses automated tools to load predefined QA scripts at different stages of development. These automated scripts sequentially validate source code efficiencies and ensure any relevant feedback is immediately provided to the responsible teams while eliminating the need for regular human intervention when running tests. When implementing continuous testing in a project, the goal of our QA team is to provide actionable feedback at each stage of the delivery pipeline and assess whether a release candidate is risky to pass the delivery pipeline.
Mobile Testing Automation
Automating mobile test scenarios facilitates verification, speeds up regression testing, and enhances testing capabilities. This is an effective way to improve the quality of mobile applications. It frees specialists from tedious and complex procedures that are replaced by autotests. Also, automating mobile testing allows you to test your app on numerous mobile devices simultaneously, saving time and improving application compatibility.
Web Testing Automation
Testing is an important stage in developing a web application or website, which allows you to identify and fix potential errors before the product is available to users. Web testing evaluates various aspects of a web application or website, such as functionality, usability, security, compatibility, and performance. It helps ensure quality and reliability, as well as considering the needs of different categories of users, including people with disabilities. Web testing is a crucial factor in the success of any online business or service, so it definitely should be taken into account. The popularity of any website, among other factors, also depends on user experience and site performance.
Desktop Testing Automation
This testing practice uses software tools and scripts to automatically test desktop applications to find and report bugs faster, saving time and money and helping to improve quality and reliability. We use different tools and frameworks for desktop automated testing, such as WebdriverIO, Selenium, TestComplete, Appium, and many more. Our team utilizes these frameworks to create test scripts that mimic user actions and embed them into your chosen CI/CD tool. However, manual testing is necessary to verify the program's functionality and identify problems that may elude automated tests.

When to Automate
Аutomated QA testing is advised with a stable, rarely updated development environment (for example, once a week). In this case, created autotests are run locally or embedded into the CI system to run automatically after each code change. This approach saves a lot of time and manual effort. Automation testing services are particularly important in cases such as:
Regression Testing
Regression testing verifies whether the introduced changes did not break the operation of already existing functions of the application. The automation of this process allows you to quickly and efficiently pass many test scenarios. Usually held each sprint and is the basis for maintaining the quality of products.
Repetitive Testing
Automation of repetitive tests is ideal for modular or integration tests. It aims to test after fixing each bug in the same part of the functionality, allowing developers to waste no time and focus on other tasks. In addition, automation will increase the accuracy of test results, minimizing the risk of human factors.
Smoke Testing
Automated smoke testing is a quick check of the system's primary functions after code changes, performed before more detailed tests to eliminate the possibility of critical errors. It uses special programs that automatically run test scripts that check the system's key features, which allows you to evaluate the working capacity of the product quickly.
Data-Driven Testing
In automated data-driven testing, tests are created using information stored in a file or database rather than static values given in the test code. The test script can be re-executed for each row of data from the source, checking the results against the expected output. This technique is also known as table-driven testing or parameterized testing. The steps involved in creating data-driven automated testing can vary depending on the type of software, the tool used, and the testing environment.
Load Testing, Performance Testing
Automated software testing can also be used for load and performance testing. These tests include simulating large volumes of traffic, user activity, or load on the application to test its reactions and sustainability.
Test Automation Frameworks We Use
Webdriver IO
WebdriverIO is a progressive system created to automate modern web and mobile applications. It simplifies interaction with the application and provides a set of plugins to help create a scalable, reliable, and stable test suite. It runs automation based on the WebDriver protocol and uses built-in browser APIs to provide integration with popular developer tools.
Selenium WebDriver
Selenium WebDriver is a tool that allows cross-browser testing. QA specialists use Selenium to automate browser operations, test web app performance, and retrieve website data. It supports various programming languages (JS/TS, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, Perl, Python), simultaneously allows parallel testing in multiple browsers, and has open source and a large user community.
Playwright
Playwright is an open-source web testing framework that allows cross-browser testing and web automation through Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API. In addition, this framework has many valuable functions that include API support for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, NET, and a tool for creating test cases by capturing and reproducing user actions.
Cypress
Cypress is a modern UI testing framework tool adapted to the latest web technologies and has an informative real-time GUI reporter that allows one to analyze every test step even while the test is running. This helps developers and QA engineers to catch typical problems faster. It is based on Node.js and is installed as an npm module. JavaScript is used to write tests.
Pytest + Selenium
Pytest and Selenium are two powerful tools for automating the testing of Python web applications. Pytest is a test writing framework that provides a wide range of functionality and user-friendly syntax. Selenium is a browser automation tool that allows you to interact with web pages and perform actions that users usually perform.
Robot Framework
Robot framework is an original keyword-driven framework widely used to automate software testing. It was developed in Python, allowing QA to create test cases and use the keywords built into this framework without resorting to programming. Using the Robot framework begins with downloading a particular library. Then, after installing, you can safely create personalized checks (test sets).
