Integration / API example

✓ Simulate upstream service failure503 unavailable

✓ Retry with backoffRetry 1 → 2 → 3

✓ Service recovers200 OK

✓ Recovery behaviour demonstrated.
System recovers as designed under test conditions.

Security example: Access revocation

✓ User token → API200 OK

✓ Revoke access for userAccess revoked

− Same token → API401 Unauthorized

Revocation behaviour demonstrated.
Access correctly denied after revocation.

Evidence you can useClear, challengeable findings and recommendations.

Security, FDE and AI implementation

Specialist engagements and defined delivery projects, with scope and responsibilities agreed around your requirement.

SecuritySecurity architecture, engineering and implementation, penetration testing and remediation verification across applications, integrations and platforms.

Forward Deployed EngineeringWork with your team and customers to understand requirements, build integrations, troubleshoot deployments and deliver a usable handover.

AI implementationBuild and integrate AI tooling and automated workflows, evaluate behaviour and support deployment and adoption.

SDET, API integration and automation

For software vendors, delivery partners and engineering teams with API, security, workflow automation and customer implementation work.

SDET — Software Development Engineer in Test

Build and maintain test automation frameworks, API and integration tests, CI quality gates, performance tests and resilience investigations. Reproduce failures and provide findings engineers can act on.

FDE — Forward Deployed Engineering

Support customer implementations, build API integrations, troubleshoot deployments and connect field requirements with engineering. Agree the implementation scope, handover and verification with your team.

Engage a specialist alongside your team or discuss a defined project. Skills, availability, location, rate and delivery responsibilities are agreed for each assignment.

Security architecture, engineering and testing

Engage security specialists for architecture, engineering, implementation, penetration testing and assurance. Work spans applications, identity, integrations and platforms, including trust boundaries, access controls and secure development.

Security architecture and engineering

Design and review security architecture, trust boundaries and control requirements. Support security engineering and implementation across applications, integrations and platforms.

Penetration testing and assurance

Conduct scoped penetration testing and investigate application, API, identity and isolation controls. Provide reproducible findings, remediation priorities and retest evidence.

Work runs within an agreed scope and authorized test environment. The report records the controls and conditions examined and the limits of the evidence.

The evidence gap

Existing delivery testing provides important evidence that the API behaves as expected. An API & Integration Assurance Review adds focused challenge around defined conditions where additional evidence may be useful.

DependenciesWhat happens when dependencies fail, degrade and recover?

TransformationsWhat evidence supports transformation behaviour across the data conditions in scope?

State and retriesWhat happens to state across retries, partial failure and recovery?

Identity and accessWhat happens when identity, token or access state changes?

IsolationWhat evidence supports separation between users or tenants?

Boundary conditionsWhich failure, recovery and boundary conditions are represented in the available evidence—and which remain unresolved?

Integration and automation
assurance.

Explore our supporting assurance services across APIs, security, cloud, workflows and AI.

Integration & APIs →MuleSoft, Boomi, Apigee, Kong and other integration stacks.

API Security →Authentication, authorization, revocation, token behaviour and access controls.

Cloud & Platform →Resilience, failover and automated recovery controls.

Process & Workflow Assurance →Process mining, automation paths, handoffs and control effectiveness.

AI & Automation →Automated decisions, runbooks and agent actions before they earn authority.

AI implementation and workflow automation

Build and integrate AI tooling, connect it to your systems and automate business workflows. Agree the use case, acceptance criteria, deployment and handover with your team. We can also help teams introduce AI into engineering and testing: choose useful applications, set up practical workflows, evaluate the results and develop the team’s skills.

RAG setup and evaluationHelp configure retrieval-augmented generation workflows and test retrieval quality, source grounding, freshness and unsupported answers.

Test AI-generated softwareInvestigate integration behaviour, data, access and recovery in software built with AI, using tests designed around the risks that matter.

Evaluate generated test suitesThousands of generated tests are useful only if they detect meaningful failures. We investigate coverage, assertions, duplication and defect detection through controlled experiments.

Workflow automation and AI adoptionBuild and integrate automated workflows, connect systems and services, and investigate exception paths and handoffs. Support AI adoption through implementation, workshops and evaluation.

Discuss AI implementation

API & Integration Assurance Review

A focused specialist review of your API and its integrations, investigating agreed failure, recovery and security conditions. Receive reproducible findings, engineering recommendations and a clear account of residual risks.

Agreed review scope

One API product · Up to 10 endpoints · One test environment · One agreed test-data set · One retest round.

What you receive

A Delivery Evidence Report recording the engagement scope, tested behaviours and conditions, material findings, coverage gaps, retest results and unresolved conditions.

Evidence report within 15 working days of confirmed working access.

Testing takes place in your supplied test environment. Your team retains control of release decisions.
