What your team gets back
Playwright is the right framework — but writing and maintaining a suite is a full-time job that steals engineering weeks from your roadmap. We take the job; you keep the confidence.
Ship without the fear
Every merge is gated by verified coverage of your critical journeys, so a broken checkout or login never reaches customers. We build that suite for you — senior engineers write the Playwright, AI just drafts the boilerplate.
Your engineers stay on product
No test-writing sprints, no CI babysitting, no per-run bills to police. Flows run on every merge with unlimited runs at a flat rate — your team reviews coverage instead of maintaining it.
Failures mean something again
A red build is a real bug — delivered to you with video and repro steps — never a flake. When the UI changes and a flow breaks, we repair it within 24 hours, guaranteed.

How it works
- 1
Coverage plan in week one
We map your critical user journeys — login, checkout, onboarding, whatever must never break — into flows. One flow covers a full journey, not a fragmented test.
- 2
AI drafts, senior engineers verify
AI writes the Playwright boilerplate fast; a senior engineer hardens selectors, verifies every assertion, and covers the edge cases before anything is trusted in CI.
- 3
Live in your CI within 30 days
Flows gate every merge. When one breaks — real bug or UI change — we triage it: bugs reach you with video and repro steps, test breakage is fixed within 24 hours.

Playwright service FAQs
- What does a managed Playwright testing service include?
- Everything after 'we should have E2E tests': we map your critical user journeys, write Playwright TypeScript for them, wire the suite into your CI, run it on every merge with unlimited runs, and fix breakage under a 24-hour repair SLA. Your engineers review coverage — they don't write or maintain tests.
- Do we own the Playwright code you write?
- Yes, fully. It's standard Playwright TypeScript — no proprietary runtime, wrappers, or DSL — committed to your own repository under e2e/guardian as pull requests you review. The suite runs anywhere Playwright runs. If you ever leave, nothing moves: it was always yours.
- How fast can coverage be live in our CI?
- Critical flows are typically live in CI within 30 days of kickoff — or we extend your onboarding at no extra cost. Most teams see their first verified flows running in the first two weeks.
- How is this different from hiring an SDET or using a low-code tool?
- A loaded SDET runs ~$140k+/yr and a low-code tool still needs someone to drive it. Guardian is the outcome instead of the headcount: a senior team plus AI drafting, from $3,500/mo, with maintenance included and no tool lock-in.
- What does it cost?
- Published rates, no sales call required: from $3,500/mo for 20 flows and $5,500/mo up to 50, with per-flow pricing that decreases at scale. Unlimited CI runs are included — no per-run or overage fees.
- Can you take over an existing (flaky) Playwright suite?
- Yes. We audit what you have, keep what's sound, rewrite what isn't, and put the whole suite under our zero-flake guarantee and 24-hour repair SLA.
In their words
What it looks like to run on Guardian
“The Guardian team is easy to work with and very responsive. We tell them which parts of the app matter most, they build the coverage, and when a release breaks something we know the same day, with a recording of exactly what went wrong. It has taken testing off our plate without taking it out of our hands.”
“We wanted to know the site still worked after every change without having to check it ourselves. Guardian had that running within a couple of days, and now it just runs in the background. If anything stops working we hear about it right away, and their team is easy to reach and quick to respond. It is one less thing to worry about.”
