Soak testing for UK banks, fintechs and regulated firms
In short
Long-duration testing that exposes memory leaks, connection pool exhaustion and slow degradation. You need it before any release to a service that runs 24/7 or holds open connections. 24-72 hour soak runs, resource trend graphs and a root-cause report on every drift.
What soak testing actually is
Long-duration testing that exposes memory leaks, connection pool exhaustion and slow degradation.
When you need it
Before any release to a service that runs 24/7 or holds open connections.
What Forth delivers
24-72 hour soak runs, resource trend graphs and a root-cause report on every drift.
The pitfall we don't repeat
Skipping soak because the smoke test passed — until production falls over on day four.
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 soak testing as a managed service?
Yes. We can run soak 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 soak testing engagements start within 2-4 weeks of a signed SoW, faster if there's an existing supplier framework in place.
