Challenges we solve

Your independent software testing partner should give you control, not cause delays. We help when: 

  • You are releasing faster than testing can match.
  • Testing is taking time away from building new features.
  • You cannot see how much of your system is properly tested. 
  • Defects appear late, costing more to fix and risking deadlines. 
  • QA and delivery teams work in silos, creating misalignment. 
  • Projects are slipping and you need to recover momentum.

Our Approach

Our Prevent, Detect, Recover (PDR) framework ensures quality is built in from the start: 

  • Prevent problems with early planning that matches business goals and compliance needs.
  • Detect issues quickly through structured testing and clear reporting. 
  • Recover quickly when defects are found, with prioritised fixes that keep delivery on track. 

We place software testing specialists directly in delivery teams, applying SAFe, GDS and DevOps practices. This means QA works at the same speed as your development and programme teams, ensuring a coordinated, consistent approach from planning to release.

  • Clear visibility of test progress, coverage and results at any stage. 

  • Faster release cycles through targeted automation and efficient test execution. 

  • Lower risk of reputational or operational damage from defects in production.

  • QA fully aligned with delivery priorities and timelines. 

  • Confidence that your approach meets sector and regulatory standards, such as GDS or FCA requirements. 

  • A route back to control when delivery has slipped.
