Software testing and QA

In-house testing is essential, yet it has a natural blind spot: the author of the code knows how it is meant to be used and uses it that way. An outsider arrives without that habit, tries what nobody expected and has no stake in a good result. It also frees your developers to spend their time building.

Yes. A council or public body taking delivery of a commissioned application can ask us for an independent review before acceptance, checking what the technical specifications required. If the tender calls for accessibility testing under Royal Decree 1112/2018 or security testing in line with the ENS, we include it. Tender proposals are handled through tender@apply.es.

For functional testing of a small application, a week or two is plenty. For load testing ahead of a campaign, allow a month or more, since improvements have to be made and measured again afterwards. For a penetration test, the timing depends mostly on getting the authorisation signed and coordinating with your hosting provider.

One-off jobs are charged by the hour at €75 per hour + VAT, with a cap approved in the proposal. If you need testing with every release, it can be included in a Start, Business or Premium monthly plan at a fixed fee. Invoices are issued electronically and paid by bank transfer within 30 days.

Ideally there is none: we suggest fictitious data or an anonymised copy. If real data cannot be avoided, a GDPR data processing agreement is signed first, access is limited to the bare minimum, logged, and withdrawn when the work is finished.
