FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an SDET and a QA tester?
A QA tester designs and executes test cases, typically manual, sometimes using basic automation scripts. An SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) is a software engineer who specialises in quality engineering, building test automation frameworks, integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines, writing test infrastructure code, and often contributing to production code. SDETs typically command higher day rates (£450–£700/day in the UK) and are appropriate when you need to build or scale a sustainable automation practice, not just cover a testing gap.
What test automation frameworks do your SDETs specialise in?
Our SDET bench covers the most common enterprise automation stacks: Selenium WebDriver (Java/Python), Cypress (JavaScript), Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript/Python), Appium (mobile), RestAssured/Karate (API), JMeter and k6 (performance), and SpecFlow/Cucumber (BDD). We match to your existing or intended stack, we do not force a migration to a different tool unless there is a clear architectural reason to do so.
Can you provide an SDET who can also lead the QA team?
Yes. We have senior SDETs who can serve as QA Engineering Leads, defining test strategy, mentoring junior QA team members, managing the automation roadmap, and acting as the quality representative in delivery planning. This profile typically has 7+ years of experience and is priced accordingly (£600–£800/day in the UK market).
How quickly can an SDET add value after joining?
A strong SDET working on a well-scoped automation task can have the first automated tests running in a CI pipeline within the first week. For SDETs taking on a test strategy and tooling selection role, expect 2–3 weeks before code is in production, the upfront strategy work pays significant dividends in the quality and maintainability of the automation suite.
