What Our Client Offers

• Modern automation tooling (Playwright, TypeScript) rather than legacy testing frameworks
• Deep integration into the CI/CD pipeline, with real influence over automation strategy
• A development team that treats test reliability as a shared responsibility, not an afterthought
• Room to tackle complex debugging and edge-case testing, not just surface-level checks
