Playwright Automation Framework Case Study
Automation Services
Engagement Overview
AJQ partnered with a leading insurance organization to design and implement an automation test framework for a core platform experiencing frequent defects and production incidents. The objective was to improve software quality, accelerate release confidence, and embed automation into delivery squads with minimal disruption.
Over a 3 month engagement, AJQ consulted with the client on the most suitable automation frameworks and approaches and delivered a Playwright framework end‑to‑end, from discovery and design through build, knowledge transfer, and adoption support, enabling the client to scale automated testing across their platform.
The Challenge
- Frequent bugs and production incidents impacting platform stability
- Heavy reliance on manual testing slowing delivery cycles
- Limited automation capability across squads
- Need to improve release confidence without disrupting sprint cadence
- Requirement for sustainable handover to internal teams
AJQ Approach
AJQ applied a structured yet flexible delivery model focused on rapid discovery, solution design, iterative build aligned to sprint cycles, and strong knowledge transfer. The engagement emphasized minimizing impact on delivery squads while ensuring the framework could be adopted and scaled effectively.
