The pitfall we don't repeat
Failing ARUDD handling on day one of go-live — and only finding out at month-end.
How we engage
Fixed-scope discovery, a 30-day pilot against a real workload, and a continuation engagement with named UK-based engineers. Every artefact is version-controlled and ready for second-line review.
Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver bacs testing as a managed service?
Yes. We can run bacs testing as a one-off engagement, as part of a programme, or as a continuous managed service with monthly reporting.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Yes — most engagements augment an existing team. We work to your tooling, your standards and your release process, not ours.
What evidence do you produce for our auditors?
Every engagement produces traceable evidence: scenarios mapped to requirements or controls, run logs, defect history and a sign-off pack your second line can use without rework.
How fast can you start?
Most bacs testing engagements start within 2-4 weeks of a signed SoW, faster if there's an existing supplier framework in place.
