Test automation + CI

A regression suite a release manager can trust.

Risk-scoped Playwright or Pytest coverage with the evidence discipline of a release: traces, four reporters, artifact retention, and a green gate on every PR — built in your repo, your CI, your conventions.

what you get

Risk model → coverage matrix

Coverage decided by release risk, not habit. The matrix is a document your team maintains.

Playwright/Pytest suite

Page Object Model, fixtures, data-driven where it pays; trace-on-retry and four reporters standard.

CI wiring

GitHub Actions (or your CI) running on every push/PR with artifact retention — a green badge that actually means something.

Flake protocol

Quarantine lane, retry policy, and a weekly triage ritual — the discipline that keeps red meaningful.

fixed scope · quoted after a week-1 risk map · your repo, your CI

how we work together
Suite Audit
~1 week · scoped & quoted

Risk map of your release path, honest read on the current suite (including whether it's worth saving), and a prioritized plan you own — the fastest way to a concrete quote.

Stabilize Sprint
~2 weeks · scoped & quoted

The flake protocol installed on your existing suite: quarantine lane, retry policy, isolation fixes — red becomes meaningful again.

Regression Suite Build
~4–8 weeks · scoped & quoted

Risk-scoped Playwright/Pytest coverage with traces, reporters, CI wiring, and the discipline documents your team maintains after I leave.

fixed-price starting points from $497, plus a custom quote for larger or unusual builds — scoped in writing before we start, so you pay for your problem, not a package · every engagement ends with evidence you keep — and if the scoping shows I can’t help, I’ll say so and it costs nothing

worked example

Making red mean something again.

A live suite ran 500+ tests against real trading workflows — but red had stopped meaning anything, so the team had learned to re-run until green. That's how a real regression ships.

before

~10% flake rate · 45-minute runs · red ignored by default.

after

<1% flake · 8-minute runs · a quarantine lane so red blocks the merge.

Diagnosed source (shared state, timing, ordering) and fixed isolation — no rebuild. Prior full-time role; figures self-reported.

questions
Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright?

Playwright for new builds — speed, tracing, and parallelism. I've shipped 300+ test Selenium frameworks at Fortune 50 scale, so migrations are familiar territory.

Can you fix our existing flaky suite instead of rebuilding?

Usually yes — at HighStrike I cut a live suite's flake rate from 10% to under 1% with retry logic and isolation fixes. Rebuild is the last resort, not the default.

Do you do load testing?

k6 baselines on the critical path are part of the standard engagement; deeper performance work is scoped separately.

How do you price this?

Scoped and quoted in writing after a short call — fixed scope, not open-ended hours. Most engagements start with a one-week audit, and that fee credits into the build if you continue.

How long until the suite is green and trusted?

A quarantine lane and the first stable CI run typically land within about two weeks; from there red means red and the suite keeps getting faster.

What do we own at the end?

The suite and your CI config live in your repo, documented, with a coverage and flake report — nothing retained on my side after handoff.

15 minutes. Bring the feature that scares you.

You leave with a concrete plan either way — the call is free and the plan is yours.
