Test automation: faster and more reliable releases

New releases have to go live faster and faster, without losing quality. With smart test automation, you can prevent errors in production and keep a grip on quality, pace 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 releases follow each other more rapidly. If you only rely on manual testing, you will inevitably run into problems: increasing turnaround times, unstable releases, and errors that only become visible to users.

 

That is why many organizations are taking steps towards test automation. But without a clear structure, initiatives often fail: tests become unstable, maintenance takes more and more time, and the framework becomes so complex that only specialists can work with it. The result: frustration, higher costs and loss of trust.

The key to sustainable test automation lies in a solid foundation. Exactly that is what we have with SPARTA offer: Simply Powerful Automated Regression Test Architecture. A proven approach that allows us to set up a robust architecture that is scalable, maintainable and reliable from the ground up. Thanks to separate layers and best practices, the framework remains clear, grows with your organization and fewer technical team members can also work with it.

 

This way, you prevent maintenance from becoming complex and time-consuming, you maintain speed and test automation remains valuable in the long term.

Test automation that moves with your organization

We help organizations organize test automation structurally and scalably. We do this by jointly setting priorities, selecting the right tools and building frameworks that really work in practice.

Our specialists know commercial and open-source tools and frameworks such as Tosca, Leapwork, Playwright, Cypress and Robot Framework. In addition, we develop our own solutions such as JOSF and the TestBot, with which we respond to specific sectors and platforms.

We link tests to CI/CD pipelines, train teams and provide clear documentation. This way, you can keep a grip on quality and testing remains a reliable part of your development process. Not a single check at the end.

Scenarios that we automate

We focus test automation on situations that provide immediate value. By automating recognisable use cases, you get results faster and you can be sure that your approach covers risks and remains scalable.

Framework stability

A robust framework that is understandable and maintainable. No unstable tests or code that only specialists can manage, but a foundation that continues to work.

Continuous testing

Automatic validation with each commit. CI/CD integration ensures that feedback reaches the team directly and issues are visible early.

Mobile test automation

Frameworks that test apps under realistic conditions: various devices, OS versions, and networks. Bugs surface before users experience them.

Performance checks

We simulate peak loads and extended usage so that your application remains stable when it really matters. Bottlenecks become visible and resolved before going live.

Security & compliance

We test how software deals with sensitive data and APIs and check AVG compliance. This is how you build trust and prevent risks.

TA Health Scan

A compact scan that provides insight into the quality of your test automation in one session. With scores, advice and clear next steps.

Playbooks

Easily set up and execute your scenarios with our unique playbooks.

Multi-browser support

Ready for all browsers with automated version control.

Our own solutions

In addition to proven tooling, we develop solutions ourselves that respond to specific market issues.

JOSF

JOSF makes test automation accessible to all (low-code) testers and developers. It integrates with platforms such as Mendix and OutSystems and thus accelerates the adoption of test automation within development teams.

The TestBot

Especially for the healthcare sector. The TestBot performs automated tests on HiX, ChipSoft's electronic health record. Thanks to the integration with Supportbook, healthcare organizations have one environment for testing and securing all software changes.

What does test automation provide

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

Key benefits:

  • Faster results. Complete regression tests have been greatly reduced, so you get feedback much faster and don't have to wait until the end of the cycle.
  • Bugs remain in development. Problems arise immediately, not just weeks later in production.
  • Always the same quality. Each test runs the same way, no missed steps or forgotten checks.
  • Instant feedback for the team. Automated tests significantly reduce the feedback loop.
  • Everyone can work with it. Clear documentation and a structured framework make you independent.

Why do organizations choose us

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

We have carried out successful projects at Rijkswaterstaat, PwC, Stedin, TenneT and Robeco, among others. Our Sparta approach prevents instability and technical debt. Through the Cerios Academy, we ensure that your team can continue independently. No black box, but transparent frameworks that will continue to work structurally.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about test automation

Want to release faster without losing quality? Many organizations are taking steps towards test automation, but have questions about frameworks, tools, and integration with CI/CD. Here you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our Sparta approach, tooling such as 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 via a framework. This way, you get feedback faster, reduce the risk of human error, and keep a grip on quality with every release.

Why does test automation often fail without a good foundation?

Without a clear architecture, tests become unstable, maintenance takes more and more time, and only specialists can manage the framework. With our Sparta approach, we are building a scalable and maintainable basis so that test automation continues to add 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 have our own solutions: JOSF for low-code platforms such as Mendix and OutSystems and the TestBot for healthcare organizations with 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 become visible early, allowing developers to make immediate adjustments and allow teams to release faster and more reliably.

What does test automation deliver in concrete terms?

With well-designed test automation, you reduce regression tests from days to hours, and bugs remain in development instead of production. Teams are daring to refactor more, infrastructure costs are falling and releases are becoming more stable and predictable.

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

Yes. Thanks to clear documentation and separate layers, everyone in the team can work with the framework. So you are not dependent on one specialist and make test automation widely applicable.
