Delivering comprehensive functional testing
Functional testing assures the quality of your digital product by ensuring requirements have been met and defects have been identified. As well as making certain all functionality works correctly, testing improves the usability of your software, on top of its security and safety.
Our functional testing service analyses your software end-to-end, identifying defects and ensuring all functionality works seamlessly. Whether for in-house software or third-party applications, we help enhance usability, security, and safety—delivering a superior product that protects your brand's reputation.

Why functional testing matters
Functional testing ensures that your software not only works but excels. We look beyond basic functionality to improve usability, security, and user satisfaction, helping avoid future issues and strengthening your product.
It is easy to overlook testing as a non-essential investment, but defects and glitches can cause major user experience hindrances and are likely to cause long term damage to a brand. Through effective procedures and practices, functional testing will help you deliver a superior product, and should be a process utilised for all updates and new features.
Our process
We ensure your software is fully tested based on your requirements, from user experience needs to compliancy regulations.
01
Ascertain requirements
During functional testing, we collaborate with the client to understand their requirements. From here we assess the risks of the intended functionality then go on to create a custom requirement and risk blended test plan.

02
Identify defects
During test execution, we will analyse the results and identify defects to be fixed, along with any enhancement recommendations to consider. Our development team are on hand to resolve any issues identified if required.

03
Retest
We conduct regression testing, with test cases re-executed in order to check if the previous functionality of the software is working and to confirm that recent changes have not introduced new defects.

04
Deployment
Once we confirm that the retest is successful, the website and/or application can be released with confidence in the knowledge that the industry standard quality assurance measures have been met.

05
Ongoing testing
Once released and when your software requires design upgrades or additional features, it’s vital that functional testing is included as part of the continuous delivery process to ensure a consistently good quality user experience.

Functional testing techniques
Functional testing covers a wealth of software features. From basic login screens to complex workflows and multiple integrations, it’s crucial that all functional aspects are tested fully to ensure the intended outcome is what you and the end user would expect. Testing allows us to measure the success of the product, identify defects and highlight areas for improvement ahead of a launch.
For testing to be a success we combine several techniques to maximise coverage.
Inputs are divided into groups to exhibit similar behaviour.
Testing between extreme ends or boundaries.
Testing system behaviour for different input combinations.
Exercises the whole system on each transaction basis from start to end.
Uses creativity, intuition and personal experience.
