Software Testing in Durham
Independent testing for Durham businesses about to release something that matters. We work out what would actually hurt if it broke, test that deliberately, and report defects with the steps to reproduce them — so your developers get a fixable report rather than "it did not work".
Why this comes up
The problem
Teams test their own work against the path they had in mind while building it. The failures that reach customers are almost always the paths nobody thought to try.
What you get
What we deliver
- A test plan built around business risk, not around counting features
- Functional testing across the journeys that carry money or compliance weight
- Cross-browser and cross-device coverage on the combinations your analytics show
- Defects logged with steps, expected result, actual result and severity
- Regression testing before each release, so old bugs stay fixed
- A written release recommendation you can act on, including what is not ready

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what software testing would actually involve — whether or not you use us.

Software Testing in Durham — common questions
- Our developers already test. Why pay for more?
- Because they test what they built, against the behaviour they intended. Independent testing approaches it as a user with no knowledge of the design, which is the only way the assumptions get challenged. It complements developer testing rather than replacing it.
- Manual or automated?
- Both, for different jobs. Automation is right for regression — the same checks on every release. Manual is right for exploratory testing and for judging whether something is usable, which no script can assess.
- How much testing is enough?
- Proportionate to what failure costs. A payment path or a clinical record deserves exhaustive coverage; a marketing page does not. Spreading effort evenly across everything is how the important paths end up under-tested.
- Can you test a system you did not build?
- Yes, and independence is an advantage rather than a handicap. We need access to a test environment, the requirements as they stand even if incomplete, and someone available to answer questions about intended behaviour when the documentation runs out.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
