Testing Audit
A problematic test suite quietly saps your team's time and energy. Developers start ignoring failures or wasting time re-running CI builds until they pass due to flaky tests. Slow tests prevent building and shipping new features quickly, and no one can do much about it because the test suite is a nightmare to maintain and keeps getting worse by the day. Most teams know something's off with their testing processes, but don't have time to work on the issues.
Your testing process should give you confidence, not slow you down. I audit Rails applications to help sort out test flakiness, bad patterns, performance bottlenecks, and gaps in your testing strategy, then give you a clear plan to fix them.
Who needs a testing audit?
A testing audit will help you if:
- Your test suite has gotten out of control and nobody's sure what to trust
- Developers complain about flaky or slow tests but nothing gets fixed
- You're not confident your tests actually catch real bugs
- Manual testing feels ad-hoc and you're not sure what's covered
What's included with the testing audit
Kickoff call
We discuss your current testing setup, pain points, and what you're hoping to improve.
Audit
I dig into your test suite and testing process by reviewing your codebase, identifying current patterns, and spotting gaps in your current testing processes.
Report delivery
You receive a prioritized report covering existing issues and recommendations, with context on why it matters and how to fix it. We'll review the findings together so your team understands the priorities and can ask questions.
What you'll get
- A clear picture of what's broken and why
- Prioritized, actionable fixes your team can implement
- Recommendations for improving your overall testing strategy
- Confidence that your tests actually help instead of hindering process
Need someone to fix the issues found in the testing audit? I also offer implementation packages to address the problems found, whether that's speeding up your test suite, eliminating flakiness, or improving maintainability for the long-term health of your application.
Pricing
Final pricing depends on the size of your codebase and test suite complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the audit take?
Audits typically take 1 to 2 weeks depending on the size of your codebase and test suite.
What if our tests are mostly fine and there's not much to fix?
That's a good thing! You'll get confirmation that your suite is healthy, plus any minor improvements I spot. The initial kickoff call helps set expectations so there are no surprises.
Can you help us set up better testing practices going forward?
Yes, either as a short engagement or through fractional work with your team.
