Software Testing and QA Services for London Teams

Testriq provides software testing services to teams in London and across the UK, supported by our Mumbai-based team of ISTQB-certified engineers. We work remotely and collaborate with your team during overlapping business hours, including sprint calls and regular project discussions. This page covers what UK teams ask us to test, what the first two weeks look like, and where our responsibilities begin and end.

UK requirements we build into test plans

UK regulatory areas, where UK releases usually break, and what Testriq tests
AreaWhere UK releases usually breakWhat we test
UK GDPR and PECRCookie banners that set non-essential cookies before consent; staging databases holding real customer data; data-export and deletion requests that miss one systemConsent states across browsers and devices, scans of test environments for personal data, end-to-end data-subject request flows
Open Banking and strong customer authenticationStep-up authentication failing on mobile app-to-app redirects; expired tokens; unexpected error codes from bank sandboxesAPI behaviour against the specification you provide, negative and timeout scenarios, the full redirect journey on mobile
NHS-connected softwareAudit logs with gaps; integration messages (HL7 or FHIR) rejected or mis-mapped; clinical-safety hazards with no matching testMessage handling, access and audit-trail checks, test cases traceable to your hazard log
Accessibility (Equality Act 2010, WCAG 2.2 AA)Keyboard traps, invisible focus indicators, unlabelled controls, targets too small on touch screensAutomated scans plus manual keyboard and screen-reader passes
UK commerce and localeVAT and GBP rounding errors, postcode validation that rejects real addresses, delivery cut-offs on bank holidaysPrice and tax calculations, address and date formats, holiday calendars

We test against the requirements your compliance, clinical-safety or data-protection lead defines, and we hand back evidence they can review. We do not give legal advice or certify compliance.

Clock-change bugs

The UK clocks move on the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October. Scheduled jobs, booking slots, billing cut-offs and daily reports that assume a 24-hour day tend to fail on those two dates, and the failure often shows up a week later in a finance report. Our timezone testing exercises those dates before release.

What we test with

We work in your repository and your pipeline rather than a parallel one of ours, so the suites stay useful to your team after an engagement ends. Where you already have a tool in place, we use it.

A typical first two weeks with a London team

  1. Day 1: Kick-off call at 10:00 UK time, inside our overlap. We agree the release calendar, environments, access and which UK requirements apply.

  2. Days 2–3: Risk review of the product. You receive a written test approach to sign off.

  3. Days 4–8: We build the first automated regression and API suites in your repository and CI, and run exploratory sessions on the highest-risk journeys.

  4. Day 9: First full run against your staging build. Defects go into your tracker with reproduction steps.

  5. Day 10: Written report and a 30-minute review call covering what passed, what failed and what we recommend before release.

Fixed-scope bundle prices are on the pricing page.

Overlap with UK working hours

India Standard Time is 4½ hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time and 5½ hours ahead for the rest of the year. India’s working day therefore covers the UK morning and early afternoon. Stand-ups, defect triage and release-readiness calls fit inside that window, and anything we run before your day starts is waiting in your tracker when it does.

Work relevant to UK teams

  • Phyllo: we designed a testing strategy for an evolving API ecosystem, aimed at more reliable releases and less debugging time.
  • Canva: release testing for major interface updates across platforms.

Questions UK buyers ask us

Can staging run entirely on synthetic data?

Yes. We generate synthetic records, or mask copies before they reach a test environment. If your data protection officer needs to approve any real data, we wait for that decision.

Will you sign our NDA and data-processing agreement?

Yes. We work under the NDA and data-processing terms your legal team supplies.

Can you produce test evidence for an FCA or NHS audit?

We produce traceable test cases, execution logs and defect records mapped to the requirements you give us. Whether that evidence satisfies a regulator is a judgement for your compliance team.

Do you test banking apps that redirect to another app to authenticate?

Yes, including the return journey into your app. We test it alongside negative cases such as a cancelled or timed-out authentication.

Can you work inside our UK-hosted environments?

Yes, over VPN or remote access as your security policy allows. Data stays in your environment.
