Ship with confidence.We manage the QA.
Critical-path browser coverage in 30 days. AI drafts Playwright; senior engineers verify. Flat monthly pricing.
30-min call · free coverage analysis
From $3,500/mo
Published flat rates. Unlimited concurrent runs. No per-test or run overages.
Playwright you own
One-click export anytime. Run anywhere — no proprietary lock-in.
AI + senior engineers
Models draft Playwright. Humans verify before you trust a run.
30 day critical path
Staging access to CI-green journeys — built for speed.
The gap
Shipping got faster. QA didn't.
AI tools accelerated product. Regression safety did not keep up. That gap is where production bugs hide.
AI ships 3× more code
Cursor and copilots sped up product. Your regression net is still last decade.
Suites rot under you
Selectors break every redesign. Engineers burn sprints on flakes, not features.
A hire is slow & expensive
A loaded SDET is ~$140k+ and months to ramp — while you keep shipping untested.
How it works
AI writes fast.Engineers keep it real.
Pure AI is flaky. Pure manual is slow. We combine both — models draft Playwright in minutes; senior QA verifies before anything is trusted in CI.
- Apps shipping with Cursor, v0, Bolt, and similar tools
- Chatbots, AI reports, and other shifting UI
- Self-healing when the UI moves — engineers confirm what matters
AI drafts
Steps and boilerplate in minutes — not a blank-page sprint.
Engineers verify every failure
Humans separate real bugs from flake. You only get actionable reports.
CI keeps running
Every PR gets real browser coverage. Maintenance included.
Onboarding
Critical coverage in 30 days
Process is the proof when you're early — a clear plan, not invented logos.
Map what matters
Staging access, critical journeys, shared Slack. No RFP theater.
AI drafts, engineers harden
Fast generation. Senior QA reviews selectors, waits, and edge cases.
Green in your CI
Journeys run on PRs in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or your pipeline.
Expand & own it
More coverage, flake SLA live, exportable suite whenever you want.
We test what users actually do
Unit checks can all pass while checkout is broken. We automate full journeys in a real browser.
100 green checks, broken product
Buttons render. Forms validate. None of that proves a customer can complete an order.
“I can't complete my order.” — email after a green CI run.
One journey, start to finish
Browse → cart → ship → pay → confirm. If the path works in a real browser, the product works.
Checkout journey: passed
What you get
One flat subscription — people, platform, runs, and maintenance.
Dedicated QA partner
A real person who learns your product.
Shared Slack
Direct line — not a ticket queue.
AI draft + human verify
Speed with judgment.
CI on every PR
Unlimited runs on plan.
Engineers review every failure
Flake-free for your team — real bugs only, with video + repro.
Maintenance SLA
UI shifts are our problem.

Why teams pick Guardian
Faster than hiring. Clearer than outsourcing. Less drama than tool-only AI.
In-House Team
- High Costs: ~$140k+ cost per engineer (salary + 1.25× multiplier).
- Slow Scaling: Months to hire and onboard; turnover disrupts coverage.
- Opportunity Cost: Engineering time lost to QA maintenance instead of shipping features.
- Infrastructure Debt: Your team must build and maintain the parallel runner grid.
Typical Outsourced QA
- Outdated Pricing: Vendors keep AI savings for themselves instead of passing them to you.
- Inflated test counts: Incentivized to split one journey into 10 billable tests.
- High Maintenance: Fragmented tests lead to "flaky test fatigue" and slow releases.
- Incentive Mismatch: Per-test billing rewards volume, not coverage value.
QA Guardian
- Flat monthly fee (predictable)
- You own the code. No vendor lock-in.
- Unlimited parallel runs (built-in)
- 24hr self-healing SLA
- Engineers review every failure (flake stays with us)
- AI + engineer verification
Hands-on by design
You work with a dedicated QA partner who learns your product and stays in Slack. We grow capacity carefully so early customers still get attention — not a call center.
