Test automation that scales across all your variants.
No AI, no maintenance hassle. With smart open-source tools, it’s possible – we’ll show you how!
Do the testing frameworks you use reflect the variety and complexity of your products?
We’ll show you how to use new open-source tools to make your QA scalable across product variants—and significantly reduce the maintenance effort required for automated tests in the process.
With that, …
- you’ll develop your test automation faster than any AI agent can understand your requirements
- your test automation will immediately require less maintenance – each test has already been validated by you to ensure it works
- you’ll be able to draw on the collective expertise of an entire open-source community
The more work that goes into QA, the more confusing it becomes? Especially when new product variants or technologies are to be tested.
With the right QA tools, you can ensure that your test automation scales seamlessly with every new development – without having to constantly start from scratch or constantly copy or rewrite existing tests.
This results in significantly lower maintenance costs and means that new product variants can be accommodated many times faster – without any additional effort.
Why does quality assurance become a challenge for growing businesses?
The more your business grows, the more complex your products and processes become. Linear QA tools cannot cope with this complexity.
Increasing product variety
Hardly any company sticks to just one product. As the company grows, so does the range of products. And these different variants need to be tested.
Product variations
Apart from simple parameterisation, linear testing frameworks do not allow for meaningful reuse of tests. New product variants usually result in the core logic being copied – and thus in duplicate maintenance effort.
Maintainability
Duplicate tests mean duplicated effort. Many frameworks are not designed to scale. In many companies, maintenance costs alone account for 60–80% of the budget.
The result?
Far too much time is spent on maintenance tasks.
There’s hardly any time left for the actual test development…
We’ll show your team how they can implement future-proof and scalable test automation using open-source test frameworks!
Products have many dimensions
And your test automation should be able to reflect that as well.
Many tools are well suited to writing simple tests, but quickly fall short when you need to scale to accommodate new product variants, versions or other technologies.
We’ll show you open-source tools that meet precisely these real-world requirements and enable genuine reusability.
Your QA must be measurable
How else could you optimise them?
We focus on simple, easy-to-understand metrics that immediately show you the real progress and added value of your test automation – so that you can make continuous, data-driven improvements.
Open-source tools for maximum flexibility
Commercial tools restrict your team’s flexibility, incur high costs and result in lengthy approval processes.
With open source, you gain complete freedom, draw on the expertise of a strong community and save time and money in the long run – often whilst achieving significantly better quality.
With us, you also get commercial support on top of that, if you wish!

Frequently asked Questions
Do I have to work with you?
No.
You’re under no obligation whatsoever. Everything we show you consists purely of open-source tools.
In this free 90-minute workshop, we’ll show you live how your QA team can use these tools to make test automation scalable and low-maintenance. Afterwards, you can decide for yourself whether to implement everything on your own or with our support.
How much time do I need to allow for the implementation?
The time required depends primarily on the size and complexity of your project – that is, on the number of product variants, the existing test suite and your tech stack.
During the free 90-minute workshop and the subsequent pilot project, we’ll provide you with a clear, realistic estimate of the time and effort required specifically for your project.
Thanks to reusable test logic and scalable open-source tools, the overall effort is usually significantly lower than with traditional QA approaches – and you’ll start to see the first results after just a short time.
Which programming languages and frameworks do you support?
We have deliberately chosen Balder as our core testing framework, in combination with the BalderHub ecosystem.
This has clear advantages for you:
- Python-based – deliberately simple and quick to learn. We made a conscious decision to use Python because it is one of the clearest, most readable and simplest programming languages. Any developer or tester who has already written code – regardless of the language – can usually get to grips with Python very quickly and easily. That is precisely why we rely on it: your entire team will understand, write and maintain the tests much more quickly and with greater acceptance.
- BalderHub ecosystem: With the ready-made BalderHub packages, you can easily port existing test logic to new product variants, versions or technologies. This saves a huge amount of development and maintenance effort.
- 100% open source: All recommended tools and packages are open source. Your team retains complete flexibility, is not tied to any licence costs, and can develop its own extensions if required.
In this free 90-minute workshop, we’ll show you live just how well Balder fits into your tech stack and how quickly you can start using it productively.
How much does it cost to work with you?
The cost of working with us depends primarily on three factors:
- the scope of your pilot project
- the number and complexity of your product variants
- the level of support required for implementation
Getting started is completely free: simply book our free 90-minute workshop. During the workshop, we’ll listen carefully to your needs, analyse your current QA processes and demonstrate live which open-source tools will have the greatest impact on your business.
As soon as we’ve agreed on a clear plan for your pilot project, we’ll give you a fixed, transparent price – with no hidden costs or nasty surprises at the end.
Important: We deliberately do not offer a low-cost service. Many companies initially try to save money by using cheap commercial tools or home-grown solutions – only to end up paying twice as much later on due to high maintenance costs and unreliable testing. With us, you get exactly what saves you money in the long run: scalable, low-maintenance and measurable quality assurance.
But don’t worry – that doesn’t mean you’ll have to budget for five- or six-figure sums. Feel free to let us know your budget, and we’ll tailor the pilot project and its implementation to fit it perfectly.
Ultimately, there’s only one thing that matters to us: does the new QA save you more time and money than the collaboration costs? – That’s exactly what all our solutions are designed for – to ensure your investment pays off quickly and significantly.
