// QA and software testing

Find the bugs before your customers do.

We help B2B software teams plan their testing, check new features properly and automate the regression checks that should run on every release, so shipping stops feeling like a gamble.

What we test, and how

Testing sized to your product and release pace, from a first strategy to a suite your developers run themselves.

Test strategy

Decide what to test, at which level and how much, based on risk and how your product is used.

Exploratory and manual testing

Experienced testers work through new features and edge cases that scripted checks tend to miss.

Test automation

Automated checks for the paths that matter most, written to be readable and maintained by your team.

Regression suites

A curated set of checks that runs on each release, so old features keep working as new ones arrive.

API and integration testing

Check the connections between your services and the systems your customers plug into.

Release readiness

A short checklist and sign-off step before each release, with clear bug reports when something fails.

How an engagement works

Four stages that move testing from ad hoc to routine.

  1. 01 review

    Review

    Look at your product, release process, existing tests and recent bugs to see where risk sits.

  2. 02 plan

    Plan

    Agree a test strategy, the first areas to cover and how results will be reported.

  3. 03 test

    Test and automate

    Run exploratory testing and build automated checks alongside your developers.

  4. 04 handover

    Hand over

    Document the suite, train the team and agree how it is kept up to date.
