Beyond Testing: Quality for Mission-Critical Software

Indexnine QAE We deliver enterprise-grade quality engineering and outcome-driven test automation to help startups and enterprises alike ship reliable products faster and with confidence.

The Quality Dilemma:
Balancing Speed, Cost, and Reliability

In a competitive market, pressure to innovate has never been higher. Development teams are forced to move faster, but without a modern approach to quality, this leads to brittle tests, rising bug counts, and eroded customer trust. Manual testing can’t keep up, and traditional automation often creates more maintenance overhead than it saves.

QAE Solutions in Action

Powered by our proprietary automation platforms, purpose-built internally to accelerate implementation and maximize ROI.

  • Playwright-based MCP server
  • Human-controlled, transparent AI

Snap TestOrchestrate™

AI-driven test orchestration platform that connects TestAuthor, TestAutomate, and Atomic QA to enable faster, scalable test execution across environments. TestOrchestrate applies a shift-left approach with on-demand runtime provisioning to reduce execution time, infrastructure cost, and operational overhead.

  • Shift-left execution and feedback loops
  • On-demand environment provisioning
  • Scalable orchestration with self-healing execution

Case Study: Outcome-Based Automation

Enabling Velocity for a High-Growth B2B Travel Platform

A rapidly scaling B2B Travel Platform client was crippled by a 5-day manual regression testing cycle, blocking their ability to release new features. We implemented a comprehensive test automation suite using Robot Framework, tied to a 100% success-fee engagement model.

The Outcome-Driven Automation Blueprint

Our philosophy is that quality isn't a phase, it's a measurable outcome. We transform your QE practice from a cost center into a strategic enabler of speed and reliability with our proven, three-step methodology.

BUILD an AI-Assisted Foundation

We establish a scalable, low-maintenance test automation framework using modern tools and AI-powered test generation, creating a resilient foundation that grows with your product.

ADOPT Shift-Left Principles

We integrate quality checks early in the development lifecycle ('shifting left'), enabling your developers to catch and fix bugs faster, reducing downstream costs and delays.

DEPLOY Smart & Efficiently

We implement intelligent test selection and parallel execution strategies, ensuring fast, targeted feedback from your CI/CD pipeline so you can deploy to production with confidence.

The Right Tool for the Job:
Robot Framework vs. Playwright

In today’s competitive landscape, the pressure to balance quality, velocity, and cost is relentless. Cutting corners on Quality Assurance (QA) isn’t an option when your product’s reputation is on the line, but slow release cycles and rising technical debt can sink you before you find product-market fit.

The good news? The days of wrestling with the flaky tests and cross-browser nightmares of legacy frameworks are over. Two modern titans have emerged to address these pains: Robot Framework and Playwright. They deliver the speed, reliability, and developer-friendliness that modern quality engineering services have been missing.

Your Quality Engineering Questions, Answered

Can you use Robot Framework and Playwright together?
Yes. Robot Framework can use Playwright’s engine directly through its modern Browser library. This is a popular and powerful combination that offers Robot’s simple syntax with Playwright’s speed and reliability.
Is Playwright better than Robot Framework for enterprise QA?
Playwright is often preferred for larger, developer-heavy enterprise teams due to its raw speed, native multi-language support, and advanced debugging features. However, Robot Framework’s readability and extensibility make it a highly viable and scalable enterprise solution as well, especially in Python-centric environments.
What are the main differences between Robot Framework and Playwright?
The main differences are in their philosophy and primary user. Robot Framework uses a keyword-driven syntax designed for accessibility and collaboration. Playwright is a developer-first tool with a traditional coding syntax in multiple languages, built for maximum speed and efficiency within engineering workflows.
Can you integrate Robot Framework with Playwright for hybrid testing?
Absolutely. Integrating Robot Framework with the Playwright-based Browser library is an advanced strategy for hybrid testing. It allows you to write simple, maintainable test cases that are executed by Playwright’s powerful and reliable automation engine.
How does this integrate with our existing development team?
Our model is collaborative. We work within your existing agile process, integrating directly with your developers in their environment (e.g., GitHub, Jira). Our goal is to empower your team by building systems they can own and extend long-term.
What is the typical ROI on a test automation project?
ROI is measured in several ways: reduced manual testing hours, decreased bug-fixing costs (by catching them earlier), and increased development velocity. During an APQ Roadmap, we build a specific ROI model based on your metrics to justify the investment.
How long does it take to see results from test automation?
With our Sprint 0 approach, you’ll see working automation within 2 weeks. Measurable ROI typically appears within 3-6 months as the automated tests accumulate saved hours and prevent costly production bugs.
Do you support legacy systems and older technologies?
Yes. Our platforms are designed to work with both modern and legacy systems. We often help companies bridge the gap between old and new technology stacks while maintaining comprehensive test coverage.
