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.

-70%

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.

“Other vendors couldn’t answer our compliance questions. qawave built governance into the foundation, not as an afterthought. Our auditors were impressed.”
