Flaky tests: why your automated tests fail when nothing changed
Flaky tests pass one run and fail the next. What causes them, why test data is the main cause in business systems, and how to fix them for good....

Test automation as a service: we set up, run and maintain your automated regression tests. Maintenance is our job, not a side task for your team. Your team stays in control of what ships.
IS THIS YOU?
Manual regression testing, or test automation that stalled?
Two starting points, one goal: tests that keep running, release after release.
YOU STILL TEST BY HAND
Still running regression tests by hand?
Every release, your testers click through the same checks again, and the release waits for them.
Up to 70%less manual regression testing
For teams that still run their regression tests by hand.
YOUR AUTOMATION ISN’T UNDER CONTROL
Test automation that nobody maintains?
One person built most of it, nobody else understands it, and broken tests get skipped just for now.

CLIENTS
What TaaS clients say
‘We get clear reporting on our bugs, and they think along on where the problem might come from, to fix it.’
‘Nekst IT is able to understand the business very fast, so they can think along on what to automate and what not.’
‘We are able to release on demand thanks to the automated regression suite.’
WHY TEAMS CHOOSE TAAS
What you get out of it
Release faster
Testing keeps pace with development, so releases go out on time.
Predictable cost
One fixed monthly fee you can budget for, instead of the cost of hiring and overhead.
Your team stays focused
Your testers spend their time on the work that needs them, not on upkeep.
Outcomes, not hours
We work on the result as a team, so nothing depends on one person.
HOW IT WORKS
What is test automation as a service?
It's a managed service: we build, run and maintain your automated tests for a fixed monthly fee. So your testing keeps pace with your releases, instead of holding them up.
What we build
A maintained test suite for your application: UI, API and integration tests, built into your CI/CD pipeline. It grows as fast as you ship.
How we work
Trained engineers alongside your team, in your tools or ours. We join your refinements and sprints, or stay in the background. Your call.
What you get
Reports when you want them, coverage that grows with you, and a test suite that stays yours: documented and transferable.
HOW IT STARTS
How we get you there
Assess
First days
We review your current testing with your team, including any automation you already have, and find the bottlenecks.
Plan
Week one
Together we set goals for speed and reliability, and decide what comes first.
Deliver
Within the first month
A working proof of concept, with regular reports so you keep the overview.
Improve
From month two
We expand coverage as your applications change, and keep the tests running.
COMPARE
Build it yourself, or have it managed?
In-house
Recruit and onboard automation engineers yourself
Build and maintain your own frameworks
Maintenance competes with new work, and loses
Knowledge sits with one or two people
Variable cost, hard to predict
Your team's focus is split
Test automation as a service
Our team is ready from day one
Frameworks built and maintained for you
Maintenance is our job, every release
Knowledge sits with our team and in documentation
One fixed monthly fee
Your team focuses on the work that needs it
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does it start?
With a short, free assessment. We look at how your product is built, released and tested today, and where testing slows you down. Together we pick the business-critical flows to automate first, so the effort goes where it reduces the most risk. Then we agree on the approach and priorities, before any commitment.
What if we already have some automation?
That's a common starting point. We look at what's there, keep what works, and improve or rebuild what has become hard to maintain. You build on your investment instead of starting over.
The person who built our automation is leaving. Can you help?
Yes. We review what's there, document it and bring it under maintenance, so it keeps running without depending on one person.
How quickly do we see results?
Usually a working proof of concept within the first month. A stable test suite builds from there. Automation isn't instant: it pays off more over time when it's set up properly.
How does this fit with our QA team?
It fits with whatever you have today. We bring the tools, people, frameworks and maintenance, so there's nothing to build or hire. Your testers stay focused on new features, while we run the repetitive regression tests and keep them up to date.
Who owns the automation?
You do. We build it, document it and keep it maintainable, so it stays yours and you don't depend on us. If you want to bring it in-house later, everything is transferable.
What does it cost?
One fixed monthly fee you can budget for, without the cost of hiring and keeping specialists. The exact setup depends on your product and scope. That's what the free assessment is for.
