Let's make magic

Welcome to the Wolf Pack! 

We’re thrilled to be working with you. This guide walks through the pilot period so you know what to expect and — more importantly — how we can work together to make the most out of our partnership. 

If you haven’t already, now’s a good time to get some basic set up out of the way:
  • Connect the Slack or Teams channel
  • Choose an environment to test. We suggest the environment just below production.
  • Send environment credentials to {INSERT EMAIL HERE}
  • Accept the invites to the Kick-off Meeting and Product Tour

Let’s make magic,
QA Wolf
Our goal in the first month is to create a test plan that incorporates your coverage priorities, existing test coverage, known regressions, manual regression testing areas, and product timelines. The test plan guides the Implementation period and serves as a reference for QA Wolf to determine whether a failing test is a bug (i.e., the product isn’t behaving as described.)
Timeline
3-4 weeks depending on how quickly blockers are cleared.
Typical blockers:
  • Environment credentials are not provided.
  • Testing environment is unavailable, misconfigured, or unresponsive. What makes a great testing environment 👉
  • QA Wolf team is unable to receive emails at the @qawolf.email email domain
  • Your team is unresponsive when QA Wolf reports possible bugs or asks for product clarification.
  • Your team is unavailable to review the test plan.

Test creation is usually an S-shaped curve with the highest priority and most complex tests done first, and lower priority, simpler tests done later. Tests start running as soon as they’re built and our goal is to provide as much value as quickly as possible, starting with your business-critical workflows.
Timeline
2–3 months from Test Plan approval
Typical blockers:
  • Misalignment between stakeholders delays Test Plan finalization
  • TK

CI/CD integration
We run the full suite once a day standard, which you can request to run multiple times per day or on deploy. The setup is easy: Add a curl command in your deployment pipeline that calls the QA Wolf platform.
If you’d like to poll for results to block deploys when tests fail, ask your QA Lead to help you set that up.
Bug reporting
Bug reports are created by QA Wolves when investigating a failing test. Our standard procedure is to send the bug report in the shared Slack or Teams channel.
We can also submit bug reports directly into your issue tracker (Jira, Asana, Linear, Clickup, etc.) with the same information that’s sent in Slack.
What's included in a bug report:
  • Expected behavior and actual behavior
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Video of the headful browser run
  • Loom video walk-through of the bug and relevant additional information
  • Link to the test run with Playwright trace logs and HAR files
