Testing & Quality Improvements
Improving test coverage and quality practices to make refactoring safe, changes predictable, and releases reliable — without slowing down development or disrupting production.

€3,500 – €12,000
Service Overview
This service focuses on strengthening your testing foundation so your team can change and evolve the system with confidence. Low or missing test coverage makes refactoring risky and slows down development.
We introduce the right mix of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to support safe changes — without overengineering or unnecessary complexity.
The goal is not “100% coverage”, but meaningful tests that reduce regressions and protect critical behaviour.
How This Service Works
Overview
TThis service delivers targeted testing and quality improvements for live production systems.
We focus on protecting critical system behaviour, reducing regressions, and enabling safer refactoring and feature development.
This service is designed for teams that:
- lack confidence in their test suite
- experience frequent regressions after changes
- avoid refactoring due to missing tests
- need quality improvements without slowing delivery
After this engagement, you gain:
- improved unit, integration, and end-to-end test coverage
- clearer testing strategy aligned with system risk
- reduced regression rate
- more predictable releases
- increased confidence during refactoring and changes
Testing improvements are introduced incrementally.
We focus first on the most critical system paths and high-risk areas.
Tests are designed to support refactoring and ongoing development — not to add maintenance overhead.
After testing improvements, teams can:
- refactor code with lower risk
- release changes more frequently and safely
- onboard new developers faster
- reduce time spent on manual testing and firefighting
Common Testing & Quality Challenges
Teams often approach us with challenges such as:
- low or unreliable test coverage
- fragile tests that break frequently
- lack of integration or end-to-end tests
- slow or flaky CI pipelines
- high regression rates after releases
What Changes After Testing Improvements
After improving testing and quality practices, teams typically experience:
- fewer production regressions
- faster feedback during development
- safer refactoring and architectural changes
- more predictable release cycles
- improved overall system reliability
How the Testing Improvement Process Works
Our process is structured and aligned with real system risk.
1. Testing assessment
Review existing tests, coverage, and CI setup.
2. Risk-based test strategy
Define what needs protection first and why.
3. Test implementation
Add or improve unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
4. Validation and optimisation
Ensure tests are reliable, maintainable, and useful.
Engagement Model & Pricing Notes
This is not a fixed-scope product. Pricing depends on:
- system size and complexity
- current test coverage and tooling
- criticality of system behaviour
Typical engagements fall within the price range shown above.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We aim for meaningful coverage that protects critical behaviour.
No. Proper testing reduces rework and speeds up delivery over time.
Yes. We adapt to your current stack where possible.
Yes. Testing improvements often run alongside refactoring work.
