Hire an engineer or a team

One engineer or a whole team. Quality at every level.

QA automation engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers, or a team that combines both. Not manual clicking: a balanced, automated test strategy — the right test at the right level, wired into your CI/CD.

  1. E2E UI

    A lean set of critical user journeys in a real browser — sign-up, checkout and login proven to work.

  2. Contract

    Consumer-driven contracts between services — teams deploy independently without breaking each other.

  3. FE Component

    UI components tested in isolation — stable interfaces without slow, flaky browser runs.

  4. API

    Automated suites against every endpoint — your web, mobile and partner integrations stay reliable.

  5. Integration

    Services, databases and queues checked together — the failures unit tests can’t see.

  6. Unit

    Fast checks on business logic, written alongside the code — bugs caught minutes after they’re typed.

Our approach

Quality at every stage.

  1. ArchitectureTestability reviewed at design time — risks spotted before a line of code.
  2. DevUnit and integration tests written alongside the code, in every pull request.
  3. TestingA balanced, automated suite across all levels — not a manual checklist.
  4. CI/CDEvery test wired into the pipeline: fast feedback and quality gates on each merge.
  5. ProductionPost-deployment smoke checks and monitoring keep quality visible after every release.

AI-assisted QA

AI agents do the legwork. An engineer owns the quality.

We run AI agents on Claude Code across the QA workflow — so your engineer spends time on judgement, not boilerplate. Nothing merges without a human review.

01 · Test design & code

Tests planned and written by agents

A multi-agent pipeline goes from test strategy to test design, implementation and review — at the right level, in your repo, following your conventions.

02 · Release readiness

Know what changed before you ship

Release scope and git history turned into change summaries, a risk assessment and exploratory test charters for every release.

03 · Traceability

Every test linked to its case

Through MCP, agents read the test plan in OpenCards and link each test they write back to its case and requirement.

Team

Real engineers. No middlemen.

A small team of engineers. You talk to the founder from the first call to the last invoice.

FAQ

What time zone do you work in, and how much overlap do we get?

We are based in Kyiv (EET/EEST). Full working-day overlap with Europe and up to 4 hours with US East Coast.

Is there a trial period?

Yes — the first 2 weeks are a paid trial. You pay only for time worked, and during the trial either side can end the engagement with 3 working days’ notice.

What does the contract look like?

A simple B2B service agreement plus an NDA. Everything we build for you — code, tests and documentation — is yours from day one. Monthly engagements are invoiced at the end of each month for the work done; after the trial they continue month to month with 30 days’ notice. For fixed-scope projects, the contract sets the milestones: you pay for the work milestone by milestone, each accepted before the next starts.

Which tools and stack do you work with?

We adapt to your stack. Development: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js and React Native. Testing: Playwright, Cypress, WebdriverIO, Detox, Jest, Vitest, Supertest, React Testing Library, Codeception, Pest and Postman. All wired into your CI/CD with Docker, plus AI agents (Claude Code, MCP) where they speed things up.

How fast can you start?

Within a week of our first call: an engineer and a plan in up to 3 working days, then onboarding into your tools.

Do you do manual testing?

We engineer quality rather than click through screens: exploratory testing is part of the job, but the goal is a fast, automated suite your team can trust on every merge.

What happens to our tests in OpenCards if we stop working together?

They stay yours. Export them anytime, in full, including when we part ways. The OpenCards license itself covers the engagement period only.
