Smoke testing for UK banks, fintechs and regulated firms
In short
Fast, low-cost checks that prove the build is fit to test further. You need it on every deploy, before any deeper test suite runs. A 5-minute smoke pack wired into CI with clear pass/fail telemetry.
What smoke testing actually is
Fast, low-cost checks that prove the build is fit to test further.
When you need it
On every deploy, before any deeper test suite runs.
What Forth delivers
A 5-minute smoke pack wired into CI with clear pass/fail telemetry.
The pitfall we don't repeat
Smoke tests that take 40 minutes — they stop being smoke tests.
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 smoke testing as a managed service?
Yes. We can run smoke 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 smoke testing engagements start within 2-4 weeks of a signed SoW, faster if there's an existing supplier framework in place.
