Testing on your cadence. Pay for the work, not the idle seat.
E8 delivers reliable, fast, evidenced software testing as defined cycles. You fund testing when it happens, scale with every release, and own everything we build from day one.
You're paying for a seat, not the work.
Testing demand is lumpy. Builds hit the test environment in bursts, then go quiet, yet a full-time tester is paid all year regardless. The result is over-paying for idle capacity, or being under-resourced exactly when a release lands. E8 exists to close that gap: testing delivered as defined cycles, billed when it actually happens.
Services
Testing for the situations a full-time hire can't cover well: bursty demand, specialist platforms, and one-off automation builds.
Pay-when-active manual testing
Sprint-based test execution, defect management and reporting, plus test-case design and grooming between builds. Billed per cycle, not per seat.
Project-based automation
A full automation suite delivered in a fixed window once your solution is stable, covering web, API, database and full-stack, with CI/CD integration and scheduled runs.
Domain-specialist testing
Deep expertise in the platforms that carry real business risk: Dynamics 365 (CRM, Supply Chain, Warehouse, FinOps), Salesforce, Azure DevOps and TechnologyOne.
Upgrade & regression testing
Recurring regression runs aligned to your platform release waves. Predictable, calendar-driven coverage at a fixed price per run, so upgrades stop being a scramble.
Automation maintenance
Optional ongoing upkeep of your automation suite for a chosen period, kept green as your product changes and charged transparently to the level of cover you choose.
AI-accelerated testing
Using AI to speed test-case generation from requirements, self-healing automation that survives UI change, and broader coverage in less time.
Outcomes you can see, with nothing locked in.
Our model is built to be more transparent and accountable than a full-time hire, not less.
Outcome-based cycles
You pay per testing cycle for a defined outcome, never for idle time. Efficiency works in your favour.
You own everything
Code lives in your repository from day one, fully documented. No lock-in, ever.
Evidenced every cycle
Each cycle ships a verifiable test record, traceable in your own tools. You see exactly what was done.
Response SLA
Testing begins within an agreed window of a build reaching your environment. Availability is guaranteed.
Start with a low-risk paid pilot. One sprint of testing or a single regression run. Judge the outcome, then scale on a cadence that fits your releases.

How we test
Built on one conviction.
E8 Tech Consulting is a Melbourne-based software testing consultancy founded on a simple idea: companies should pay for testing outcomes, not idle headcount.
Traditional hiring leaves testing capacity sitting unused, paid for whether a release is in flight or not. E8 turns that waste into a model where you get experienced, specialist testing exactly when you need it, evidenced and owned by you from day one.
We work best with teams running enterprise platforms and frequent releases who need reliable, flexible testing without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.
Frequently asked.
You pay per defined testing cycle, for example one sprint's testing or one regression run, rather than for a full-time salary. You fund the work when it happens, and every cycle is backed by a verifiable record of what was done.
You do, from day one. Code lives in your repository, fully documented, with no lock-in. You can continue with us or take it in-house at any time.
We work under an NDA, inside your tools and environments wherever possible, and follow your data-handling requirements. Confidentiality is treated as a baseline, not an extra.
Typically within days, not the weeks or months a hire takes. A pilot can usually be scoped and underway in a single sprint.
With a low-risk paid pilot: one sprint of testing or a single regression run, at a fixed price. You judge the outcome before committing to a cadence.
