Types of software testing we deliver
How testing fits our service pillars
Testing is available through Continuous Monthly Development for ongoing testing needs, or a Fixed Price Project for defined testing projects. See our Web and Software Testing page for how these engagement models apply to testing.
Functional testing
Our functional testing services verify that each feature of your software works according to specified requirements, correct outputs for given inputs, without examining the underlying code. We test user-accessible features, entry and exit points, data processing, error handling, and business logic validation across complete user workflows.
UI/UX testing
Evaluates your application from the user's perspective: layout, navigation, visual elements and interactive components across browsers and devices. We verify buttons, menus, and forms respond correctly, validate visual consistency across screen sizes, test navigation flows, and confirm accessibility compliance for keyboard navigation and screen readers.
Integration testing
Validates that different modules or systems communicate correctly, a website exchanging data with a CRM, connecting to payment processors, or pulling inventory from backend systems. We test data flow between systems, API responses, authentication handshakes, error handling when external services fail, and timing or data-format edge cases.
Regression testing
Verifies that new code changes haven't broken existing functionality. Our regression testing services run after each deployment cycle, focusing on critical user paths, payment processing, data integrity, and integration points. For applications with frequent updates, we implement automated regression testing that runs on schedule.
AI-assisted automated QA
Automated QA using AI: agents test your website or shop on a fixed schedule, 24/7, checking load time, form submission, functionality such as search, checkout and calculations, and flagging site changes for human review, among others. Available as an add-on to Care Plus, Care Ultimate, and Fixed Price Projects; token usage is billed separately, based on actual usage, and not all automated tests use tokens.
Smoke testing
A rapid check that core functionality still works after a build or deployment, can users log in, do critical workflows complete, does data save correctly. We run smoke testing after every deployment to catch obvious breaks immediately; if it fails, we halt further testing until the issue is resolved.
API testing
Verifies that APIs function correctly: data exchanges properly between systems, responses return accurate and timely information, error handling works as intended, and security mechanisms protect against unauthorized access. This matters particularly for applications integrating with payment processors, CRMs or inventory systems.
Load testing
Simulates realistic user traffic to identify performance bottlenecks before they affect real users, response times under concurrent load, database queries that slow down under pressure, and infrastructure constraints. This matters most for applications expecting traffic spikes: product launches, seasonal sales, or marketing campaigns.
Performance testing
Measures page load times, resource optimization and overall performance from a user perspective, desktop and mobile load times, images or scripts slowing renders, time to interactive, and whether caching and compression work correctly.
Security testing
Identifies vulnerabilities that could compromise data or expose user information, CMS security patches, authentication and authorization logic, common vulnerabilities in custom code, and secure data transmission and storage. For thorough penetration testing or security audits, we recommend working with specialized security firms alongside our application-level testing.
User acceptance testing (UAT)
Validates that software meets actual user requirements before launch, real-world workflows, business process validation, and whether the software solves the problem it was built to solve. We set up testing environments, create test scenarios based on user stories, and coordinate between technical teams and business owners.
Internationalization and localization testing
For software serving multiple regions or languages: character rendering, date and time formats, currency symbols and number formatting, address and phone number validation, and government number formats.
Why our testing approach improves project outcomes
Experienced software testers. We've tested thousands of projects across industries, platforms and technologies, experience that matters when evaluating edge cases and anticipating integration problems.
In-house QA team, not developer testing. Our testers focus exclusively on finding issues and think like users, not like the developers who built the features, a perspective that catches problems developers are too close to the code to see.
AI-assisted testing, verified by experienced QA engineers. AI gives us coverage and speed; our QA engineers provide the judgment, verification and user perspective that automation alone can't.

Commonly asked questions
Which types of testing does my project actually need?
All projects need functional testing and UI/UX testing. Add regression testing if you have frequent updates. Include integration testing if you connect to payment processors, CRMs or external APIs. Use load testing for applications expecting traffic spikes. Security testing matters for applications handling sensitive data. The right combination depends on your project’s risk, complexity and user expectations.
Can you test software we develop internally?
We provide standalone QA testing where our team works alongside yours. You don’t need to use 1902 Software for development to access our testing expertise, many clients use us for testing while maintaining their own development teams.
How does testing fit into the development timeline?
Testing happens throughout: early specification review, design review before development starts, full testing on staging before launch, and ongoing regression testing after launch. It’s continuous, not just a final pre-launch activity.
What platforms and technologies can you test?
WordPress, Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify, Umbraco, custom .NET applications, PHP-based systems, React frontends, mobile apps, and API integrations. If you’re using a platform we don’t actively develop on, we’ll be honest about whether we can provide effective testing for it.
