Software testing and quality assurance
Quality is built into a project from the start. We plan and run the testing that finds problems early, and we automate the checks worth repeating on every release.
Your situation
Is this what you are looking for?
If any of these sound familiar, this service is for you.
- Every release brings new bugs in features that worked before
- Testing is manual, slow and depends on one person
- You do not know how many users the system can handle
- Users report problems that nobody on the team has seen
The work involved
What needs to be done
Whatever the size of the project, these are the steps that decide whether it succeeds.
- 1
Identify what matters most to test
List the features that would hurt most if they failed, such as payments, sign-in or data loss. Test those most deeply and first.
- 2
Agree test plans and pass criteria
Decide what is tested, in which environments and what counts as passing. Without agreed criteria, release decisions become arguments.
- 3
Automate the checks worth repeating
Turn stable, high-value checks into automated tests that run on every build. Keep exploratory and usability testing manual, where people notice more.
- 4
Test performance, devices and browsers
Run realistic load tests, and test on real phones, current browsers and screen sizes, including accessibility checks.
- 5
Run acceptance testing and report clearly
Let real users confirm the software fits their work, track every defect to closure and give the team a clear report to support the go or no-go decision.
How we can help
How we can help
This is what we do for you, so your team can stay focused on running the business.
Test strategy and planning
A plan covering what to test, how deeply, in which environments and with what pass criteria, based on the risks in your application.
Ask about thisAutomated testing
Unit, integration, API and end-to-end tests for stable, high-value behavior, running automatically in your build pipeline so regressions are caught early.
Ask about thisPerformance and load testing
Load, stress and endurance tests with realistic scenarios, a report of where the system slows down, and advice on fixes and capacity.
Ask about thisSecurity testing
Dependency and code scanning plus checks for common web and API weaknesses. This is not a penetration test, which we scope separately or refer to a specialist.
Ask about thisMobile and cross-browser testing
Testing on real iOS and Android devices and across current browsers and screen sizes, including accessibility checks.
Ask about thisUser acceptance testing and QA process
Acceptance test plans run with your users, defect tracking, release checklists and quality gates your team can keep using.
Ask about thisWhat is included
The kinds of testing and the environments we cover.
Test types
Environments
- Defects found before your users find them
- A regression suite that runs on every build
- Known performance limits and a plan to handle them
- Release decisions backed by test evidence
Common questions
Is security testing the same as a penetration test?
No. Our security testing covers scanning and checks for common weaknesses in an application. A penetration test is an attack simulation with its own scope and rules of engagement, which we agree separately or help you source from a specialist.
Can you test software you did not build?
Yes. We can test any web, mobile or desktop application or API, starting with a review of what exists, how it is released and where the main risks are.
How much should we automate?
Automate stable, repeated, high-value checks, and keep exploratory and usability testing manual. Automating everything is slow and brittle, so we agree a sensible balance and review it as the product changes. Testing reduces defects but cannot prove there are none.
