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.

Pace IT’s Test Scripting and Planning

Careful and considered upfront test planning is essential, so for most projects we provide you with detailed Test Plans, considering:

Testable items
Risks
Test features

Test approach and strategy
Pass and fail criteria
Deliverables

Responsibilities
