Specialised testing expertise
for difficult delivery problems.

We design and run focused technical tests, reproduce failures and investigate behaviour across systems. Work with us on a defined project, a specialist contract or alongside your existing team.

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.

The evidence gap

Existing delivery testing provides important evidence that the API behaves as expected. A Delivery Check 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?

Adopting AI in engineering and testing

We help companies introduce AI into their engineering and testing work: 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.
Help your team adopt AIPractical transition support: workflow design, tool selection, hands-on workshops and embedded technical work using your systems.

Featured engagement: API Delivery Check

Could a retry create duplicate orders after a timeout? Start with a focused investigation of one API product, with reproducible findings your team can act on.

Delivery Check includes

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

What you receive

Tested behaviours and conditions, material findings, coverage gaps, unresolved areas, retest evidence and residual risks.

$3,000 fixed price

Evidence report within 15 working days of confirmed working access.
