Common Questions?
How quickly can you mobilise?
Typically 48 hours from agreement to tester working in your environment. This assumes environment access can be arranged quickly. If procurement or security processes take longer, we work around your timelines.
What if the tester doesn't work out?
Every engagement includes senior test management oversight. If issues arise, they're identified and addressed immediately. For longer engagements (3+ days), we can swap testers if needed, though this is rare given our vetting process.
If you're not satisfied with the first day's work, you don't pay for that day.
What tools and systems do your testers work with?
Our network covers:
- ERP systems (D365, SAP, Workday, NetSuite)
- Test management tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, TestRail)
- Automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress)
- API testing (Postman, REST Assured)
- Performance testing (JMeter, LoadRunner)
If you have specific tool requirements, we'll confirm tester capability during scoping.
Do you work on-site or remote?
Both. Most engagements are remote, which allows for faster mobilization and lower cost. For situations requiring on-site presence (security restrictions, end-user observation, complex environment access), we can arrange on-site work in major NZ cities.
Can we extend the engagement if needed?
Yes. If scope increases or you need additional testing, we can extend with your approval. Any extensions follow the same fixed-price model - you'll receive a clear quote before any additional work begins.

Who is this for?
How we're different
We're independent consultants, not tool vendors or staffing agencies. Our recommendations are based on what works for your situation.
We've led testing on everything from startups to enterprise implementations. We understand the difference between textbook best practices and what works in resource-constrained, deadline-driven reality.
Our consulting engagements are designed to build your internal capability, not create dependency. We succeed when you can continue without us.
Do you have a specific project need?
For specific project needs, including automation implementation, team augmentation, or urgent testing support, TestPilot can mobilise resources through established technology partnerships.
