The situation
A payments platform where a regression is not an inconvenience but a financial event. Releases were gated by manual testing that could not keep pace with the deployment cadence the team wanted.
What we did
Appsierra built an automation suite into the release pipeline rather than alongside it, so tests run on every commit and block a merge when they fail. The programme moved testing from a pre-release scramble to a continuous gate.
How we worked
Weekly standups with the client team, communication over Zoom and Slack, and a reporting cadence the client’s quality lead owned rather than received.
Where it stands
The application now runs hundreds of automated tests before deployment, and the engagement has continued past its original scope.
