Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand · UTC+7 ## Questions about adding a Test Automation Engineer to your team. What if we have no automated tests at all? Our engineer starts with the critical paths, such as sign-up, checkout or the core workflow. A focused suite that runs on every build protects you from the first day. Coverage then grows sprint by sprint, prioritised by risk, while the suite stays fast enough that your own developers keep running it. Who maintains the suite? The test automation engineer assigned to you does, for as long as your team runs. A suite without an owner decays: tests turn flaky, run slowly and get ignored. Ongoing care, fixing flaky tests and removing outdated ones, is what keeps the suite trusted and keeps releases moving. ## Add remote test automation engineers to your team.
