Hiring guide

What to look for in a Automation Testing freelancer

A strong automation engineer writes tests that are stable, readable, and worth keeping. Look for:

  • Command of a modern framework: Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
  • Coding skill, not just recording, so tests are structured and maintainable.
  • A war on flakiness: proper waits, selectors, and isolation.
  • CI/CD experience, so tests run on every commit and report clearly.
  • A pragmatic view of coverage, automating what pays off rather than everything.

Ask how they keep tests from becoming flaky, which is where most suites fail.
