🌐

End-to-end E2E testing with Playwright and Cypress

Playwright and Cypress test suites simulating complete user journeys across your web application — covering UI interactions, API calls, and database state validation with parallel execution in CI.

🔗

API test automation with REST Assured and Newman

Automated API test suites covering contract testing, response schema validation, authentication flows, and error handling — built with REST Assured, Postman/Newman, or k6 and integrated into your CI/CD pipeline.

🧩

🔄

CI/CD pipeline integration with GitHub Actions

Test suite integration into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps — with pull request gates blocking deployments when tests fail and Slack notifications for immediate team visibility.

Consumer-driven contract testing with Pact

Pact-based consumer-driven contract testing ensuring API providers and consumers remain compatible through independent deployments — critical for microservices and distributed architectures.

📊

Test coverage reporting and flaky test monitoring

Coverage dashboards showing test suite health, flaky test identification and quarantine, and test result trend analysis — giving your engineering team full visibility into suite quality over time.

🛠️

Legacy test suite rescue and refactoring

Root cause audit of slow, brittle, or expensive-to-maintain existing automation suites — identifying shared state issues, timing-based flakiness, and poor abstraction — followed by targeted refactoring.

Automation Engineers Who Build Maintainable Suites

The most common automation failure is building a suite that becomes flaky, slow, and expensive to maintain within 12 months. OpenMalo engineers build automation frameworks following software engineering principles — Page Object Model, domain-specific DSLs, dependency injection, and clear test data management strategies — producing a suite that is a genuine long-term asset, not a liability. Every engagement includes CI/CD integration as a first-class deliverable, not an afterthought.

We work with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium, Detox, REST Assured, Postman/Newman, k6, and Apache JMeter — selecting the right tool for your application, language, and CI environment. Our frameworks are built in TypeScript or Java for web and API, Swift/Kotlin for native mobile, and delivered with full documentation and a structured team handover period.

Our Test Automation Delivery Process

01

Test Automation Strategy

We assess your application, define the automation pyramid, select the right frameworks (Playwright vs. Cypress, Appium vs. Detox), design test data strategy, and plan CI/CD integration architecture.

02

Framework Setup

Core framework is built first — project structure, base classes, reporting configuration, CI integration, and environment configuration — before a single test is written, ensuring a solid foundation.

03

Test Suite Development

Tests are written starting with highest-value critical paths, expanding coverage sprint by sprint — with regular refactoring reviews ensuring the suite stays clean and maintainable as it grows.

04

Handover & Maintenance

Comprehensive documentation, structured team training sessions, and a handover period with your team writing tests alongside ours — ensuring confident in-house ownership of the suite after delivery.

Automation Testing FAQs

Common questions about our automation testing services.

Ask Us Anything →
When is test automation worth the investment?
Automation delivers ROI when: (1) you have stable features requiring repeated regression testing, (2) manual regression is blocking your release cadence, (3) your team ships multiple times per week. Projects with rapidly changing UIs in early development often benefit from manual QA first.
Should we use Playwright or Cypress for E2E testing?
Both are excellent choices. Playwright supports all major browsers natively including WebKit/Safari, runs tests in parallel natively, and handles multi-tab and iframe scenarios better. Cypress has a superior real-time test runner for developer experience. We typically recommend Playwright for new projects in 2026.
How much does test automation development cost?
A focused E2E automation framework with 50–100 Playwright test cases starts from AUD $20,000. A comprehensive multi-layer suite covering E2E, API, and unit integration typically ranges AUD $40,000–$100,000 depending on application complexity.
How long does it take to build an automation suite?
A basic Playwright E2E framework with critical path coverage: 4–8 weeks. A comprehensive multi-layer suite covering E2E, API, and mobile: 3–6 months. We prioritise CI integration in the first week so your team sees value immediately.
What is the testing pyramid?
The testing pyramid recommends many fast unit tests at the base, fewer integration tests in the middle, and fewer E2E tests at the top — because cost, execution time, and flakiness risk increase at higher levels. A well-balanced suite runs fast enough to integrate into CI on every pull request.
Our automation suite is slow and flaky — can you help?
Yes. We audit your existing suite, identify root causes of flakiness (shared state, hard-coded waits, poor test data management, selector fragility), and refactor systematically — restoring suite reliability and reducing CI execution time.
Can you integrate automation into our existing CI/CD pipeline?
Yes. CI/CD integration is a core deliverable on every automation engagement — configuring tests in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps with pull request gates, parallel execution, and test result reporting in Slack.
What test data management approach do you use?
We use test data factories (programmatically created per test), database seeding scripts, and API-created state — avoiding shared test data that causes test interference and flakiness when tests run in parallel.
Can your team maintain the automation suite after delivery?
Yes. We offer maintenance retainers keeping the suite current as your application evolves — updating selectors after UI changes, adding coverage for new features, and monitoring and fixing flaky tests proactively.
Should we automate everything?
No — automating everything is a common and costly mistake. Focus automation on: critical user journeys, frequently regressed areas, smoke suites for every deployment, and API contracts. Leave edge cases, visual design validation, and exploratory scenarios to human testers.
