WAVE

"We'll automate later. We don't have time right now."

Your team has said it. Every team says it. Then, months later: "We should have automated ages ago."

Testing by hand costs you more every release. WAVE automates it. Visual, fully offline, and no heavy platform to adopt.

WAVE is live today. Build your test on a visual canvas, watch it run, and let the machine repeat it every release.

You did not choose to test by hand. You got here for two honest reasons.

01

First, there is never time. The deadline is now. Automating is later. So you re-run the tests by hand one more release, and one more, and the "later" never comes.

02

Second, the tools do not fit your environment. The tools that could really take this work off your hands assume the cloud. They phone home. In a regulated or air-gapped environment, that rules them out. So testing by hand can feel like the only option left.

Meanwhile the cost is real, and most of it is hidden. It is not the testing itself. It is everything around it:

re-run
You re-run the same tests, again and again.

One outside change, a security patch, a library bump, a moved connection, forces a full re-run by hand. Many times a year.

wait
You wait.

Tests run only when someone is at their desk. They do not run at night. A slow run holds up a release, and a held-up release is revenue you have not earned yet.

prove
You prove it.

Someone puts together the proof for the auditor or the customer by hand, every single time.

And it grows every year. More tests. Faster change. Each year you say "later," the number is bigger.

You are probably guessing at that number right now. You do not have to.

03

We built a free calculator that shows you the loss, in your own numbers.

It uses the true cost of an engineer's hour, not just the wage. It counts the re-runs, the waiting, and the proof. And it shows you how the loss grows over the next few years if nothing changes.

It asks for no email. Your numbers never leave your browser.

That last part matters. If our free tool keeps your data on your own machine, you can guess how the product treats your data.

04

WAVE gives you what is good about testing by hand and what is good about automation, without the bad side of either.

You can see it, like testing by hand.A machine repeats it, like automation.

Here is what that looks like:

01 Build your test on a visual canvas.

You see the whole flow, not a wall of code.

02 Watch it run, step by step.

Set a breakpoint. Pause. Look at any value in the middle of a run. Run a single step again by hand.

03 Build the hard part once, as a reusable piece.

Export it, and your whole team uses it. When the person who wrote it moves on, the testing still works.

04 Every run saves its own complete record:

what was checked, what passed, what failed, how long it took, who triggered the run, and the full logs, with secrets masked. Export the whole thing as one HTML or JSON file.

05 Reopen any past run.

The exact test repaints on the canvas, each step colored by whether it passed or failed.

06 Run it unattended.

A small script, or the CI you already use, can start a full run over a web call. It finishes on its own, even at night.

07 It runs fully offline, in your own environment.

Nothing phones home.

What that does to the loss you just measured:

  • re-run

    The re-running stops being by hand. The machine runs the same flow the same way, every release.

  • wait

    The waiting drops. A run can finish unwatched, at night, started by your CI.

  • prove

    The proof comes with it. Every run writes its own record, so no one has to put the proof together by hand.

And here is the part that matters most for a busy team. Heavy tools fight you. They ask you to stop everything, adopt a whole platform, and carry more in your head. So "later" never comes. WAVE goes the other way. You start where you are. Nothing has to stop, and there is no big adoption project. You turn chaos into order before it sets into how your team works.

05

WAVE is built for one kind of team. You will know if it is you:

  • You build and test a real, integration-heavy system, and testing it by hand is slow and risky. Especially if you work in a regulated or air-gapped environment, where cloud test tools are off the table.

  • There is a date with money on it. Penalties if you slip. Revenue when you deploy.

  • You test by hand today.

If that is you, the calculator will show a large and growing loss, and WAVE is built to bring it down.

If testing by hand is not a heavy, repeating burden for your team, WAVE will not help much, and we will tell you so. We would rather be honest than sell you something you do not need.

06

Here is the honest part.

WAVE is live. You can build and run real tests on the canvas today. But it is early, and we are not selling it to everyone yet. It is still growing, and there is a lot more coming.

So we are taking three founding partners. Three, not thirty. Here is what that means.

  • 01

    You help decide what we build next. You shape the roadmap, and we build the hard parts with you.

  • 02

    You lock the lowest price WAVE will ever have. Founding partners pay less than every team that comes after, for as long as you use WAVE. That is your reward for being an early adopter.

  • 03

    You work directly with the engineer who builds it. Not a sales rep.

Here is what is coming next. As a founding partner, you help steer it, not just wait for it.

next

From your own machine to your whole team. Today each engineer builds and runs their own tests right on their own machine. That is how WAVE is meant to work. The next step is a shared server, on your own hardware, where your whole team runs those tests together as your testing grows.

next

Deeper into the systems your tests touch. You tell us which ones to connect first.

direction

Turning your test plans into real tests. Many teams already keep their test plans by hand, in Excel, Word, or PDF. Turning those into real tests by hand is often the real reason "we'll automate later" never happens. So the direction we are most excited to explore with our first partners is your own AI, on your own hardware, doing that work for you. Your AI, your hardware, your data. Nothing leaves your environment. This is the least sure thing here. It may never get built. Being one of only three is what earns you a real say in whether it ever does.

This is not a fixed plan. You help set the order. And for some of it, you help decide whether we build it at all. It gets built with you, not sold to you.

Two honest things before you apply.

First, this is a paid partnership, not a free trial. You are paying to help shape something early, and we do not take that lightly.

Second, we only want you as a founding partner if WAVE, the way it works today and is meant to be used, will really make your team's work better. It is not the right fit for everyone, and that is fine. A partner it does not fit will not be happy, and that is good for no one. So if it is not right for your team, we will gladly point you to what is.

What about the price? We walk through it together on the first call, openly and honestly. It is based on the value WAVE brings your team, not a number we make up. You hear the whole price first, with no commitment, then you decide.

When the three spots are filled, the founding cohort closes.

Alex, the engineer behind WAVE

WAVE was not built by a sales team. It was built by an engineer who lived this exact problem and got tired of testing by hand. That engineer is me. I am Alex.

I have worked in IT since I was 16, more than twenty years now. I have been an architect since 2021. I built and tested distributed systems for satellite networks, the kind of software that ships into regulated, high-security environments where failure is not an option. I have also done the same for large telecom platforms.

So I have lived your exact problem. I built the test automation by hand. I wrote the simulators for the tests, the traffic, and the web clients. I built the CI/CD pipelines myself. The work paid off. I took one regression suite from four weeks down to three days, with about 80 percent of it automated. I pushed unit-test coverage to about 99.8 percent, using in-memory databases and simulators.

That win is why WAVE exists. Here is the story. I could not find a tool that let teammates with little or no coding skill work on the automation with me. So I wrote my own in Python, built so teammates could add test specs with ease. But it had no visual help, no UI. The ease brought hard limits. My tool could be easy or flexible, not both. I did not like that choice.

I also watched the trap set in, up close. "We'll automate later. We don't have time right now." Good teams say it under a hard deadline. Then later never comes, and testing by hand hardens into how the whole team works.

WAVE is my answer to that choice. The visual canvas is the visual help my Python tool never had. Easy and flexible, at the same time. I built WAVE so the next team does not have to learn that the slow way. I am an engineer like you, not a sales rep.

That is the whole pitch. No logos we have not earned. No customer quotes we do not have yet. Just a working tool, an honest number, and the engineer who built it. If that is the kind of team you want to bet on early, apply above.
