Software Testing
At Pace IT we know that the testing phase of development is just as important as the design, content and implementation. Efficient software testing services are vital to ensuring your new software is achieving the business solution it was designed to, helping you to:
- Reduce risk
- Offer your customers the reliable and high-quality user experience that they associate with your brand
- Identify bugs and issues early, avoiding the risk of expensive redesign and/or reimplementation later in the development phase
Pace IT’s bespoke Software Testing Services
As an independent software testing company, our advisory-led solutions help find the right approach for your specific project. We offer a range of services adapted to each project, including:

Functional testing
We utilise a mixture of verification and validation techniques to ensure the features and functionality of the application operate as intended.
- Verification – Verify the application features behave correctly and without error for the end user
- Validation - Validate that features meet business requirements. Validation is defined by the client and key stakeholders

Exploratory testing
Exploratory testing focuses on key user journeys, testing the user experience throughout the software, from the end user’s perspective. We employ a number of techniques including:
- Disruptive and edge case testing
- Positive user flows
- Out-of-the-box thinking in an attempt to break the application
Exploratory testing is a valuable exercise for projects and budgets of all sizes, and compliments a scripted approach.

Scripted Testing
Our in-depth documented (scripted) approach to manual testing uses test suites to generate test cases addressing each of the functional requirements of a piece of software. This ensures the test process is:
- Measurable
- Traceable
- Repeatable

Compatibility testing
Compatibility testing ensures a consistent user experience over a number of different platforms. By testing both the functions and the look and feel of an application, across a range of devices, this ensures a seamless and consistent customer experience, regardless of how your customer is engaging with your application.
