QA automation without the overhead.

HeadlessQA is a small team of senior SDETs, led by Alejandro Botero. We design, fix and run UI, API, performance and mobile test suites for software teams in the US, Canada and Europe: directly, in your working hours, with no agency layers.

  • ~30 years of combined experience

Illustrative run: one suite covering UI, API, performance and mobile checks, running headless in CI on every merge.

From a first framework to a suite your team trusts.

Every engagement starts from your product and your stack — not from a favourite tool. Not sure where to begin? Start with an assessment.

01

Assess

Know what to fix first before spending on a build.

02

Build & modernize

A foundation that is fast, readable and easy to extend.

  • Framework design & build

    Playwright or Selenium in TypeScript, JavaScript, Java or C# — page objects, fixtures, test data, reporting and docs, plus your first critical journeys.

  • Migration & modernization

    Move a legacy suite (Protractor, old Selenium, WebdriverIO) to a modern stack in deliberate steps, without losing coverage along the way.

  • Coverage expansion

    Automate the high-value regression scenarios your team keeps testing by hand.

03

Go beyond the UI

Catch problems at the layer where they are cheapest.

  • API testing

    Functional and contract tests with RestAssured, Postman or Playwright’s request API — fast feedback without a browser.

  • Performance testing

    JMeter load and stress tests with clear baselines, so you know how releases change response times before your users do.

  • Mobile automation

    Appium-based checks for the native and hybrid app journeys that matter most.

04

Keep it green

Tests are only useful if people trust the results.

  • CI/CD integration

    Tests running headless on every merge in GitHub Actions, Jenkins or Azure DevOps, with reports and failure artifacts people actually read.

  • Flaky suite rescue

    Find and fix the timing, data and environment problems behind intermittent failures, and stop new ones from creeping in.

  • AI-assisted QA

    Use AI agents to draft tests, triage failures and keep suites up to date — with an experienced engineer reviewing every change.

  • Ongoing support & enablement

    A monthly block of senior QA time for your backlog, plus pairing and handover so your engineers own the suite.

// stack

Fluent in the tools you already use.

Almost 30 years between us means we’ve worked across many stacks. We recommend what fits your team, not what’s trending.

// how it works

Clear scope before code.

  1. 01

    Talk

    A 20-minute call about your product, current tests and what is slowing releases down.

  2. 02

    Scope

    A short written proposal: deliverables, assumptions, schedule and a fixed fee or monthly rate.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Work in small, visible increments in your repo, with weekly updates and risks raised early.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    Docs, a walkthrough and a suite your team can run and extend without us.

Assessment

Fixed fee, one to two weeks. The low-risk way to start.

Project

Fixed scope and fee for a framework, migration or rescue.

Monthly

A reserved block of hours as your embedded senior QA team.
