Explore Strategy →Test Automation
Self-healing scripts. Parallel execution. Zero flakiness. We build engines that enable you to deploy daily.
The "Set It and Forget It" Myth
Most automation projects fail because they become too expensive to maintain. We build differently. Our frameworks are designed with modularity and Page Object Model (POM) patterns to ensure that when your UI changes, we only update code in one place.
We focus on maintainability from day one. Every test is written with the future in mind—clear naming conventions, reusable components, and comprehensive documentation. When your team needs to update tests, they'll know exactly where to look and what to change.
Our Tech Stack
What We Deliver
- Framework Architecture: Custom built for your app with scalable patterns and best practices.
- CI/CD Integration: Seamless integration with Github Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps.
- Reporting: Detailed dashboards with screenshots, videos, and actionable insights.
- Parallel Execution: Run tests across multiple browsers and devices simultaneously.
- Team Training: Comprehensive documentation and hands-on workshops for your team.
Maintainable Code
We write tests that read like documentation. Clear structure, meaningful names, and comprehensive comments ensure your team can maintain and extend the suite long after we hand it over.
Fast Feedback
Our parallel execution strategies and optimized test suites deliver results in minutes, not hours. Get instant feedback on every commit and catch regressions before they reach production.
Self-Healing Tests
Advanced wait strategies and intelligent element location ensure your tests adapt to minor UI changes without breaking. Less maintenance, more reliability.
API Testing & Integration
Validate the core. Faster feedback loops. Stable backends.
Shift Left with API Validation
UI changes constantly. Your business logic doesn't. By testing at the API layer, we can validate 80% of your application's functionality before a single pixel is rendered. We use tools like Postman, REST Assured, and Supertest to build comprehensive suites.
Our API testing approach covers everything from contract testing to performance validation. We ensure your endpoints handle edge cases, validate data schemas, and maintain backward compatibility as your API evolves.
Testing Capabilities
Key Benefits
- Speed: API tests run in milliseconds vs. minutes for UI tests. Get feedback 100x faster.
- Security: Verify auth tokens, permissions, data masking, and OWASP compliance.
- Contract Testing: Ensure API contracts are maintained across versions and services.
- Performance: Load testing and response time validation for critical endpoints.
Schema Validation
Automated JSON schema validation ensures your API responses match expected structures. Catch breaking changes before they impact frontend teams.
Data Integrity
Verify data accuracy, relationships, and business rules at the API level. Ensure calculations, validations, and transformations work correctly.
Integration Testing
Test complete workflows across multiple services. Validate end-to-end business processes through API orchestration and data flow verification.
Manual & Exploratory
Finding the nuance. Uncovering the bugs that scripts miss.
Human Intelligence Required
Automation checks if features work as programmed. Manual testing checks if features work for people. We use session-based exploratory testing to uncover usability issues, edge cases, and visual defects.
Our manual testing approach combines structured test cases with creative exploration. We think like your users, anticipate their frustrations, and validate that your product delivers real value—not just functionality.
Our Testing Methods
What We Test
- User workflows and task completion
- Visual design and consistency
- Accessibility and screen reader compatibility
- Error handling and edge cases
- Performance and responsiveness
Exploratory Testing
Session-based charters where we creatively try to break your app using domain knowledge. We document findings in real-time and provide actionable insights.
Perfect for uncovering unexpected bugs, usability issues, and edge cases that automated tests miss.
Accessibility (a11y)
Ensuring your app works for everyone. WCAG 2.1 compliance audits using screen readers, keyboard navigation, and automated tools.
We test with real assistive technologies and provide detailed remediation guidance.
UAT Support
We act as the final gatekeeper, simulating real user workflows before release. Comprehensive test execution with detailed reporting.
Validate business requirements and ensure the product meets stakeholder expectations.
QA Strategy & Consulting
From chaos to confidence. We audit, plan, and mature your process.
Maturity Assessment
Do you have a "testing bottleneck"? Are bugs leaking into production despite your best efforts? We perform a deep-dive audit of your SDLC to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
Our assessment covers:
- Test coverage vs. Risk: Are you testing the right things? We map your test coverage to business risk.
- Environment stability: Evaluate your test environments, data management, and deployment processes.
- Defect management: Review how bugs are tracked, prioritized, and resolved throughout the lifecycle.
- Team skills and tooling: Assess your team's capabilities and recommend training or tool improvements.
- CI/CD integration: Analyze your pipeline and identify bottlenecks or missing quality gates.
- Metrics and reporting: Evaluate what you're measuring and how it drives decision-making.
Our Roadmap Deliverable
We don't just give you a PDF. We give you a prioritized, actionable plan with timelines and resource estimates.
Stabilize Critical Paths
Focus on high-risk areas and quick wins. Establish basic automation for critical user journeys.
Implement CI/CD Gates
Integrate automated tests into your pipeline. Set up quality gates that prevent bad code from reaching production.
Scale & Metric Tracking
Expand coverage, optimize execution, and establish metrics that drive continuous improvement.
Process Optimization
We analyze your entire testing workflow—from requirements to release—and identify inefficiencies. Streamline processes to reduce cycle time and increase quality.
Tool Evaluation
Not sure if your current tools are the right fit? We evaluate your stack and recommend tools that align with your team's skills and business needs.
Team Enablement
Beyond tools and processes, we help build testing culture. Training, best practices, and mentorship to level up your entire team.
About SurgeProto Labs
Engineering quality into the DNA of your product.
We are not just testers. We are engineers.
Founded in Ridgeland, MS, SurgeProto Labs emerged from a frustration with the traditional "throw it over the wall" approach to QA. We observed that most defects stemmed not from bad code, but from misaligned expectations and late-stage detection.
Our mission is to help software companies transition from "Quality Assurance" (finding bugs at the end) to "Quality Engineering" (preventing bugs from the start). We integrate directly with your dev team, participating in code reviews, architectural planning, and CI/CD setup.
Our Process
A lean, transparent workflow designed for speed.
Audit & Plan
We analyze your current stack and identify high-risk areas immediately.
Framework Setup
We deploy a skeletal automation framework within the first week.
Integration
Tests are connected to your pipelines to block bad merges automatically.
Handover
We train your team to maintain the suite, or we stick around to manage it.
