Test automation: faster and more reliable releases

New releases need to go live faster than ever, without compromising on quality. With smart test automation, you prevent production errors and maintain control over quality, speed, and costs.

Prevent unstable releases with a solid foundation for test automation

Test automation: control over quality and speed

Applications are growing, dependencies are becoming more complex, and release cycles are accelerating. Relying solely on manual testing inevitably leads to problems: longer lead times, unstable releases, and defects that only surface in production.

 

Many organizations are therefore moving towards test automation. Yet without a clear structure, these initiatives often fail. Tests become unstable, maintenance grows time-consuming, and frameworks turn so complex that only specialists can handle them. The outcome is frustration, higher costs, and loss of confidence.

The key to sustainable test automation lies in a solid foundation. That is exactly what we deliver with SPARTA: Simply Powerful Automated Regression Test Architecture. It is a proven approach that helps us build a robust, scalable, maintainable, and reliable architecture from the ground up. With clearly separated layers and best practices, the framework remains transparent, grows with your organization, and can also be used by less technical team members.

This keeps maintenance simple, preserves speed, and ensures test automation continues to add value over time.

Test automation that grows with your organization

We help organizations implement test automation in a structured and scalable way. Together, we define priorities, select the right tools, and build frameworks that truly work in practice.

Our specialists have deep expertise in both commercial and open-source tools and frameworks such as Tosca, Leapwork, Playwright, Cypress, and Robot Framework. We also develop our own solutions, including JOSF and the TestBot, designed to meet the specific needs of certain industries and platforms.

We integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines, train teams, and provide clear documentation. This ensures that you remain in control of quality and that testing stays a dependable part of your development process, not just a final check at the end.

Scenarios we automate

We focus on test automation that delivers immediate value. By automating recognizable and high-impact use cases, you achieve results faster and ensure your approach covers key risks while remaining scalable for the future.

Framework stability

A robust framework that is easy to understand and maintain. No unstable tests or code that only specialists can manage, but a foundation that keeps performing reliably over time.

Continuous testing

Automatic validation with every commit. CI/CD integration ensures that feedback reaches the team immediately and issues are detected early.

Mobile test automation

Frameworks that test apps under real-world conditions across different devices, operating systems, and networks. Bugs are discovered before users ever encounter them.

Performance checks

We simulate peak loads and long-term usage to ensure your application remains stable when it matters most. Bottlenecks become visible and can be resolved well before go-live.

Security & compliance

We assess how software handles sensitive data and APIs and verify GDPR compliance. This builds trust and helps you avoid unnecessary risks.

TA Health Scan

A concise scan that reveals the quality of your test automation in a single session. Including scores, recommendations, and clear next steps.

Our own solutions

In addition to proven tools, we develop our own solutions that address specific market needs.

JOSF

JOSF makes test automation accessible to all testers and developers, including those working with low-code platforms. It integrates seamlessly with platforms such as Mendix and OutSystems, accelerating the adoption of test automation within development teams.

TestBot

Designed specifically for the healthcare sector. TestBot performs automated tests on HiX, the electronic patient record system by ChipSoft. Thanks to its integration with Supportbook, healthcare organizations gain a single environment for testing and validating all software changes.

What test automation delivers

Test automation is more than a quick win. It is a deliberate investment in long-term quality. An automated process must be built, maintained, and updated as new functionalities and technologies are introduced. This effort pays off in predictable quality and a development process that can keep delivering at pace without compromising reliability.

Key benefits:

  • Faster results. Complete regression tests are greatly reduced, providing feedback much sooner and eliminating the need to wait until the end of the cycle.
  • Bugs stay in development. Issues appear immediately instead of weeks later in production.
  • Consistent quality. Each test runs the same way with no steps skipped or checks forgotten.
  • Instant feedback for the team. Automated tests shorten the feedback loop significantly.
  • Accessible to everyone. Clear documentation and a well-structured framework make your team independent.

Why organizations choose us

We combine technical expertise with practical experience. Our consultants are skilled in Tosca, Playwright, Cypress, Leapwork, and Robot Framework, and know exactly when to use each tool or framework. With our own solutions, such as JOSF for low-code platforms and the TestBot for the healthcare sector, we go beyond standard tools.

We have successfully implemented projects for organizations including Rijkswaterstaat, PwC, Stedin, TenneT, and Robeco. Our SPARTA approach prevents instability and technical debt. Through the Cerios Academy, we ensure that your team can continue independently. No black boxes, just transparent frameworks that remain effective over time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about test automation

Do you want to release faster without sacrificing quality? Many organizations take steps towards test automation but have questions about frameworks, tools, and CI/CD integration. Here, you will find answers to the most common questions about our SPARTA approach, tools like Tosca, Playwright, and Cypress, and solutions such as JOSF and the TA Health Scan.

What exactly is test automation?

Test automation means that repetitive and critical tests are no longer performed manually but run automatically through a framework. This allows you to get feedback faster, reduce the risk of human error, and maintain control over quality with every release.

Why does test automation often fail without a good foundation?

Without a clear architecture, tests become unstable, maintenance takes more time, and only specialists can manage the framework. With our SPARTA approach, we build a scalable and maintainable foundation so that test automation continues to deliver value in the long term.

What tools do you use for test automation?

We work with both commercial and open-source tools, including Tosca, Leapwork, Playwright, Cypress, and Robot Framework. In addition, we develop our own solutions: JOSF for low-code platforms such as Mendix and OutSystems, and the TestBot for healthcare organizations using HiX.

How does test automation fit into a CI/CD pipeline?

By linking tests directly to your CI/CD process, each commit is automatically validated. Issues are detected early, allowing developers to adjust immediately and teams to release faster and more reliably.

What does test automation deliver in practice?

With well-implemented test automation, regression tests are reduced from days to hours, and bugs remain in development instead of appearing in production. Teams can refactor with confidence, infrastructure costs decrease, and releases become more stable and predictable.

Can non-technical team members also work with automated tests?

Yes. Thanks to clear documentation and separated layers, everyone on the team can work with the framework. You are not dependent on a single specialist, making test automation accessible and widely usable.
