Tests on the paths that cost money

Chasing a coverage percentage is expensive and proves little. We test checkout, quoting, invoicing, login, and whatever else stops revenue when it breaks, then fix the pages people wait on.

  • Test scope chosen by business impact, not by file count
  • Every check runs on each deploy, and blocks a bad release
  • Performance measured on real devices and real connections
  • A failing test names the broken flow in plain language

What you get

Deliverables, not slideware

  • 01

    Critical path list

    The flows that lose money or trust when they break, ranked, agreed with you in writing.

  • 02

    Automated suite

    End-to-end checks on those flows, running on every deploy and blocking bad releases.

  • 03

    Performance baseline

    Load times measured before and after, on the pages your users actually wait on.

  • 04

    Regression report

    What broke, when, and which change caused it, in language a non-developer can read.

Sample of the deliverable

How it runs

What actually happens, step by step

No discovery theatre. Each step ends with something you can read or use.

  1. 01

    Rank by impact

    Which failures cost revenue or trust today.

  2. 02

    Automate those first

    End-to-end, on real flows, on every deploy.

  3. 03

    Measure the wait

    Real devices, real connections, before and after.

  4. 04

    Block bad releases

    A red check stops the deploy, not a person's memory.

Before and after

What the change looks like in the week

Red is the cost you carry today. Green is what the system gives back.

Today

  • Releases are followed by a nervous afternoon
  • The same bug returns every few months
  • Slow pages are known but never measured
  • Customers report failures before you see them

After

  • The money paths are checked on every deploy
  • A returning bug is caught by the test that found it first
  • Load times measured, with a before and after
  • Failures surface in your alerts, not in an email from a client

Objections

Answered before you ask

Do you aim for 100% coverage?

No. Full coverage costs more than it returns for a company your size. We cover the flows where a failure is expensive.

Can you test software we did not build?

Yes. End-to-end checks work against the running application, so we do not need to have written it.

Is performance work separate?

It is usually the same engagement. Once the critical paths are automated, the same paths are the ones worth speeding up.

One next step, and it is a paid one on purpose

The AI Opportunity Diagnostic is a fixed-scope engagement. You leave with a ranked plan you can act on with us or without us.
