software testers reviewing code and testing bugs

Software Testing

Comprehensive, Certified, and Agile: Ensuring Software Excellence and Security.

ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISEB accredited, quality drives our software testing.

With our agile software testing services there’s no need to run the risk of expensive downtime and performance issues – our expert consultancy will help you develop software testing strategies and quality control procedures that identify potential vulnerabilities in your process, highlight opportunities for efficiency or saving, and minimise risk.

British Medical Journal

Over 100,000 medical professionals across the globe rely on the BMJ Best Practice App to inform their clinical decision-making. When we rebuilt the app from the ground up, then, ensuring the accuracy of all information was vital.

Employing a variety of testing techniques – including replicating real-world scenarios such as patchy network connections – we were able to safeguard the quality of the finished app, which now provides access to crucial information more quickly and easily than ever before.

High quality software testing services

Evidenced by ISO 9001 and 27001 accreditations, Box UK’s commitment to quality runs right across the company. Our internal software testing processes are subjected to the very strictest standards, all code goes through several levels of approval before it’s allowed anywhere near a live environment and at least 98% of bugs are caught pre-release.

QA metrics and Pillars of QA

An agile, test-driven development approach ensures the design and delivery of robust applications, and our project-specific QA teams (who lead the BBC’s testing framework) support both manual and automated software testing â€“ targeting areas of particular interest and/or historical fragility to ensure your peace of mind. 

Along with the entire project team, our software testing consultants apply rigorous quality control processes to check that all QA activities have been completed and to confirm the development satisfies requirements. Each feature is subjected to testing to ensure both that it has been built correctly, and delivers what is needed.le insight into current performance and clear, prioritised recommendations for improvement.

Manual testing support

If there are strategically-important pages and journeys on your sites that require specific focus, our experienced testers can augment your team with specialist knowledge and skills, increasing your rate of testing and adding a valuable extra layer of quality control.

Our technology stack

In order to be effective, software testing services must be underpinned by technology that’s robust, proven and well-supported. Not only does this support the creation of software that’s bug-free and fit-for-purpose, it also increases the speed with which features can be signed off and released.

Drawing on a variety of modern, flexible testing testing tools and frameworks, we select only the most appropriate solutions for each individual project, ensuring all code meets our incredibly high quality standards, every time. Here are just some of the technologies at our disposal, which we use alongside an extensive range of physical devices up to the very latest models:
