End-to-end test automation
Robust, maintainable UI suites built to run on every pull request. We pick the best fit for each client's needs, including Playwright, WebdriverIO, Cypress, Selenium and Robot Framework.
AI-Multiplied QA
Every QA engineer we place delivers the output of a whole QA team.
Barroco Consult is a QA consultancy for startups and early-stage tech companies. Our experienced QA engineers work AI-multiplied: backed by our own agentic QA tool, QI, each one plans, generates, runs and reports tests at the scale of an entire team. 100% remote.
Services
What our engineers deliver, from the first test to a mature QA process.
API, GraphQL & contract testing
REST and GraphQL validation, contract and JSON-schema testing, all written in code, including event-driven and messaging flows. We pick the best fit for each client's needs, with brokers such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS/SNS, Google Pub/Sub and Azure Service Bus, and languages such as Kotlin, Java, Python and TypeScript/JavaScript, among others.
Performance testing
Load and stress scenarios to find bottlenecks before your users do. We use whatever fits your stack best, such as k6, JMeter, Gatling and Locust.
QA audits
Accessibility (WCAG), responsiveness, SEO and sitemap checks, delivered as a prioritized, actionable report.
Visual regression
We use your current, validated production version as a golden dataset and compare it with each new release before deploy, catching visual issues that would otherwise slip through. Tools fit your stack, such as Playwright visual comparisons, BackstopJS, Percy or Applitools.
CI/CD quality gates
We plug tests into the CI/CD you already use, such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, Azure DevOps or Jenkins, among others, with fast, readable feedback.
QA strategy & team setup
Test strategy, process, shift-left and BDD practices, and setting up a QA function from scratch.
QI: our agentic QA engine
QI is the in-house tool every one of our engineers works with. Powered by agentic AI on top of Playwright, it turns requirements into executed tests and a clear quality report.
- Reads Jira tickets and product docs to derive test cases
- Tests generated by agentic AI, executed with Playwright against your app
- Flags coverage gaps in accessibility, responsiveness and security
- Plugs into existing CI/CD pipelines
How we work
Flexible engagement models, all powered by QI from day one.
