QA Automation Consulting & Implementation

The Edge of QA Automation

We help engineering teams implement agentic AI testing — from strategy through production. Autonomous coverage, intelligent maintenance, and full governance, tailored to your codebase and workflow.

The gap between your dev velocity and test coverage is widening every sprint.

AI-assisted coding tools ship features faster than your QA team can write tests. Legacy automation stalls at partial coverage. Maintenance costs compound silently. Here is where most organizations stand right now:

Industry test automation ceiling

Script-based tools can only test what humans anticipate. The rest ships untested.

Hidden cost multiplier

Organizations budget €140–180K for QA tooling. Real costs — including maintenance of brittle test suites — reach €900K–1M.

Senior engineer time lost to maintenance

Your most experienced people spend nearly a third of their week triaging flaky tests and patching broken selectors.

Three capabilities we bring to your team.

We don’t sell a tool and walk away. We implement, configure, and optimize agentic AI testing alongside your senior engineers — amplifying their expertise instead of replacing their judgment.

Autonomous Discovery

Your AI finds what your scripts miss.

Traditional tools test predefined paths. Even “AI-assisted” tools just help you write scripts faster. qawave agents autonomously explore your application, map its structure, and generate tests for paths, edge cases, and regression risks that no human anticipated.

  • Autonomous exploration — The agent maps your application’s structure, flows, and states without manual instruction.
  • Risk-based prioritization — Tests generated by real system risk, not line-of-code coverage targets.
  • Coverage breakthrough — Pilot projects moved from 28% to 74% coverage in 6 weeks.

Intelligent Maintenance

Tests that evolve with your product, not against it.

Every vendor claims “self-healing.” Most mean they update a CSS selector when an element moves. That is a patch, not maintenance. qawave understands the intent of each test, adapts entire strategies when your product changes, and flags at-risk tests before deployment — not after.

  • Intent-level adaptation — When your UI changes, the agent rewrites tests based on what they verify, not just where elements sit.
  • Proactive risk detection — Tests threatened by a planned deploy are identified and updated before merge.
  • Human review gate — Every AI-proposed change is staged for your team’s approval before it reaches the codebase.

Engineering-Grade Governance

AI power. Human authority. Full audit trail.

Managed services take governance away from your team. Black-box AI tools make untraceable decisions about what to test and what to skip. qawave gives you autonomous capability with complete transparency — every AI decision recorded, explained, and subject to human approval.

  • Full audit trail — Every AI decision is logged with its reasoning. Inspect any test, any time.
  • Human-in-the-loop control — AI proposes. Your engineers approve. Strategic changes never happen without sign-off.
  • Compliance-ready reporting — SOC 2 and ISO 27001 aligned outputs for regulated industries.

From assessment to autonomous coverage in three phases.

01

Discovery & Assessment

We analyze your current QA stack, coverage gaps, and team workflow. You get a clear roadmap with expected ROI before any commitment.

02

Implementation & Tuning

Our engineers deploy and configure agentic AI testing on your codebase. We tune the agents to your architecture, integrate with your CI/CD, and validate results.

03

Handoff & Ongoing Support

Your team takes full ownership with training, documentation, and governance dashboards. We stay available for optimization and scaling.

Real engagements. Measurable outcomes.

Every engagement starts with your codebase, your team, and your constraints. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

B2B Fintech

Series B fintech platform, 200+ employees, 3 product lines, Cypress + manual QA mix.

Challenge

Test coverage stalled at 28% for 18 months. Dev team adopted Copilot, shipping velocity jumped 40%, but QA couldn’t keep pace. Every sprint shipped with known blind spots.

Our approach

6-week engagement: assessed existing test suite, deployed agentic AI exploration on staging, integrated with GitHub Actions CI/CD, trained 5 QA engineers on governance workflows.

Flaky test rate

“We budgeted two sprints to stabilize our test suite after the frontend refactor. qawave’s team adapted 80% of affected tests overnight. My engineers spent the morning reviewing changes instead of rewriting them.”

— QA Lead, B2B Fintech Platform

E-commerce SaaS

Mid-market e-commerce platform, 150 employees, Playwright + Selenium legacy, GitLab CI.

Challenge

Senior engineers spent 30%+ of their time maintaining 1,200 brittle tests. Every UI refactor triggered 2–3 days of test triage. QA was seen as a bottleneck, not a strategic function.

Our approach

8-week engagement: migrated maintenance-heavy Selenium tests to AI-maintained suite, implemented intent-level test adaptation, set up proactive risk detection before each deploy.

Estimated savings

“For the first time in two years, our QA team is working on strategy instead of putting out fires. That shift changed how the CTO sees our department.”

— QA Manager, E-commerce SaaS

Healthcare Platform

Regulated healthtech, 300 employees, SOC 2 + HIPAA requirements, complex multi-tenant architecture.

Challenge

Compliance required full auditability of test decisions. Existing AI testing tools operated as black boxes — unacceptable for their regulatory environment. Manual testing was thorough but unsustainable at scale.

Our approach

10-week engagement: designed governance-first testing architecture, implemented full audit trail with decision reasoning, built compliance-ready reporting aligned to SOC 2 and ISO 27001, trained compliance team on AI oversight.
