Test Automation with Playwright for Web Applications

We develop automated E2E tests for your critical business processes and integrate them into your CI/CD. This way you detect regressions early and reduce the risk of bugs reaching production.

100 percent remote. Focus on web automation with Playwright (Node.js/TypeScript).

Already have automated tests? We start from scratch with clean architecture and best practices - for maintainable, stable tests that grow with your application.

Is This Right for Your Team?

Good Fit If

  • +You have a web application and want to reliably secure releases
  • +A stage/QA/UAT environment with stable test accounts and test data is available
  • +Your team can provide stable selectors (data-testid or equivalent)

Not a Fit If

  • -You want to run E2E tests permanently against production
  • -Test data is not controllable or the environment is regularly unstable
  • -WAF/rate limits/anti-bot block test executions and cannot be adjusted

Modular Implementation with Clear Acceptance

We deliver in modules. Everything outside the agreed module sheet is offered transparently as a change request before we implement.

M1 Analysis and Scope Workshop

Critical flows, prioritization, browser/viewport matrix, test data strategy, reset mechanism. Result: clear Prio-1 test list and implementation plan.

M2 Framework Setup

Project structure, conventions, Page Object Model, documentation, local execution. TypeScript as standard.

M3 Initial Package: 10 Prio-1 E2E Tests

Stable assertions, traceable scope, Playwright HTML report. Desktop, Chromium as base.

M3a Add-on Module: Tablet/Mobile Viewports

Extension to additional viewports (significantly higher effort due to UI variants).

M4 CI Pipeline (GitHub Actions)

Automatic execution in client repo, report as artifact, traces/screenshots by agreement.

M5 Handover and Training

Remote session: project structure, local/CI execution, troubleshooting basics.

Scope Rules

  • • Default scope: exclusively the client's webapp via the web interface (E2E).
  • • Tests are implemented as focused flows - no monolithic end-to-end tests that cover multiple areas in a single test and create long run times.
  • • External systems (payment, SSO, email) only if explicitly commissioned as add-on module and realistically automatable with sandbox/test access.
  • • No real mobile devices or emulators - mobile only via Playwright viewports.
  • • Production is excluded by default.

Prerequisites for Stable Tests

  • • Working stage/QA/UAT access, test accounts and test data must be available.
  • • Test data must be reliably provided or reset (reset mechanism).
  • • WAF/rate limits/anti-bot must not block automation. If necessary: whitelisting or identification mechanism.
  • • Stable selectors (data-testid) are mandatory. Without these, we pause and request improvement.

CI/CD and Reporting

Standard is the Playwright HTML report. In GitHub Actions, the report is provided as artifact. Additional reporting integrations (e.g. JUnit, Allure, test management) only by separate commission.

Acceptance and Quality Criteria

  • Acceptance is per module (agreed test scope), not per test case.
  • For demonstrably incorrect or incomplete tests, there are two correction loops per module.
  • Flaky sources are cleanly documented and attributed (test issue vs. environment/test data/rate limits).

Billing and Commissioning

Compensation is modular based on a module sheet, net plus VAT. Payment plan: 50 percent on module commission, 50 percent after acceptance. Change requests are offered transparently before implementation (scope description, effort/price, effects).

Optional: Maintenance Contract for Updates and CI

  • Monthly updates of Playwright and dependencies (incl. required adjustments to restore functionality within agreed scope).
  • Maintenance and adjustment of CI workflows (GitHub Actions) within agreed scope, e.g. workflow and job adjustments, reports/artifacts and support for secrets rotation and required checks (if access is available). Infrastructure, VPN access and setup or operation of self-hosted runners are not included and are provided by the customer's DevOps team.
  • Response time for critical CI or test failures (jointly classified as critical): analysis and feedback with plan within 48 hours on business days.

Technical Initial Call

We check scope, stage, selectors and CI prerequisites and suggest a sensible module package.
