Solving Critical Software Quality Challenges

Quality at Speed

Shipping faster without losing confidence in reliability or test coverage.

System Complexity

Maintaining quality consistency and trust as your systems grow.

AI Validation

Testing non-deterministic, AI-driven behaviour beyond traditional pass/fail checks.

Services

Test Strategy & Process Improvements

Quality Strategy & Risk Management

I design pragmatic, risk-based test strategies aligned to business goals, delivery speed, and regulatory needs.

Test Process Optimisation

I streamline testing workflows by removing obvious bottlenecks, and embed quality earlier in the SDLC without slowing teams down.

Shift-Left & Quality Coaching

I work with teams to introduce early testing practices, clearer acceptance criteria, and shared quality ownership.

Test Automation

Automation Strategy & Architecture

I design scalable automation strategies and frameworks aligned to your product, team structure, and release cadence.

UI Automation

I build maintainable UI automation using tools such as Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium with Java, TypeScript, Ruby, or Python.

API & Integration Testing

I implement robust API automation using REST and GraphQL, validating business logic and data integrity.

CI/CD & Automation at Scale

I integrate automation into CI pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to provide fast, reliable pipelines.

AI-Assisted Test Automation

I leverage AI to improve test coverage, identify fragile tests, prioritise failures, and reduce overall maintenance overhead.

Specialised Testing

Performance & Load Testing

I identify scalability risks and performance bottlenecks using tools such as JMeter, Gatling, and cloud-based load testing platforms.

Accessibility Testing

I help teams achieve accessibility confidence through WCAG-aligned testing, assistive technology validation, and AI-assisted tool analysis.

Security Testing

I integrate security testing into development workflows using automated scanning, dependency checks, and targeted exploratory testing.

AI & Agentic System Testing

I design testing approaches for AI-driven and non-deterministic systems, focusing on validation, risk, and responsible behaviour.

Data & Test Environment Strategy

I help teams manage realistic test data, environments, and dependencies to reduce test flakiness and imrpove environment robustness.

About Me

Eoghan Phelan Speaking

With over 10 years of professional experience, I specialise in transforming quality assurance from a bottleneck into a strategic advantage. My goal is to make complex testing concepts accessible and actionable for teams of all sizes. I have successfully led QA teams and managed quality efforts for many software products, ensuring delivery excellence.


My expertise lies in architecting, scaling, and maintaining robust automated test frameworks across a wide range of platforms and technology stacks. I am experienced in strategic test and release planning, ensuring that quality is built in from the start.


Beyond that, I am committed to driving the Quality Assurance industry forward. I am a chapter leader in BrowserStack's Software Testing Meetup Group hosted in Dublin.


I write a wide variety of articles on software quality, leadership, and technical strategy.
