QA and test automation, priced
This is for small software teams and businesses shipping an app, especially on Supabase or a modern stack, that have no tests yet. We'll set them up.
Open-ended work: $110–$140/hour. Defined work has a fixed price, below.
What we test, and what it costs
Test Automation Audit & Strategy
$1,500 flat
A written report on your tests, or their absence: what is covered, what fails at random, and what to fix first.
Website Test Automation Setup
$2,800 flat
Scripts that walk up to ten key paths through your website every night and file any failure. Two to three days.
Test Upkeep
$350/month
Up to two hours a month keeping those scripts right, every failure read and answered, and a one-page monthly report.
Test Automation Framework Build
$4,000–$15,000
A full test suite (the scripts that re-check your software) from scratch in Playwright, Cypress or Selenium, priced from scope.
CI/CD Pipeline Setup
$2,500–$8,000
The checks that run on every change before it ships (CI/CD), in GitHub Actions, TeamCity or Octopus Deploy.
Regression Suite Rescue
Quoted from scope
A slow by-hand re-test, automated. Tyler cut one from about two weeks to under one at NAVEX.
Nightly Monitoring / Reporting Automation
$1,000–$3,000
A nightly comparison that spots what changed, reports exactly what, and files the failure itself.
QA / Automation Retainer
$1,000–$3,000/mo
Tests kept working, release checks kept running, and each release verified before it ships.
The website test setup and its Test Upkeep are open now to our website clients, beside any website package.
Why QA is our strongest work
Tyler Hardiman spent four years as a QA automation engineer at NAVEX, an enterprise compliance platform, and was promoted to Associate Senior Software Engineer QA. That career is on record, which is why QA has our top rate.
