SDET engineers who turn your test automation into an advantage
SDET engagement models offered by DeviQA
DeviQA provides SDETs through two engagement models: a dedicated QA team for ongoing automation ownership and staff augmentation for additional individual capacity.
Dedicated SDET team
A stable team of senior SDETs works within your product development and engineering processes. The team designs and maintains automation frameworks, integrates tests into CI/CD, stabilizes automated test execution, and expands coverage as the product evolves.
Best for:
Ongoing ownership of automation architecture, implementation, and maintenance
Building a new automation framework or replacing an existing setup
Expanding automated coverage across UI, API, integration, and component layers
SDET staff augmentation
Add individual mid- or senior-level SDETs to your existing engineering or QA team. The engineers follow your tools, workflows, and priorities while adding test automation, programming, API, performance, or CI/CD expertise.
Best for:
Adding technical expertise in a specific automation framework, testing layer, or product domain
Increasing automation capacity for ongoing product development and test suite maintenance
Supporting framework migrations, coverage expansion, CI/CD integration, or another defined automation initiative
