About this service

In an app that moves money, a small fault becomes a complaint at best: a transfer shown twice after a retry, a limit that resets at the wrong hour, a fee shown on one screen and missing on the confirmation. We write test cases for the flows you describe: transfers between own accounts and to other people, payments by details or by template, confirmation with a code, limits and fees as your rules set them, currencies and rounding, statuses such as pending or declined, history, statements and notifications, and what happens on a lost connection or a second tap. Each case has steps, test data, the expected result and a priority. You get an Excel workbook; from Standard a Word test plan, and in Premium a regression checklist and a bug report template. We write; your people run them in a test environment. The cases do not check compliance and are not financial or legal advice.

What is included

  • What you getAn Excel workbook with the flow cases: ID, flow, title, preconditions, steps, test data with made-up accounts and amounts on the edges of your limits, expected result, priority and a column for your result, plus a checklist per flow. From Standard, a Word test plan with devices, the test environment and what counts as done; in Premium, a full plan, a regression checklist for each release and a bug report template.
  • TransfersOwn accounts, other people and templates
  • Limits and feesAs your rules set them, at the edges
  • ConfirmationsCodes, timeouts and repeated taps
  • Statuses and historyPending, done, declined and returned
  • FailuresLost connection, retries and double sends

What we need from you

The flows to cover, the account types and currencies, your rules for limits, fees, rounding and cut-off times as they are set in the product, how a payment is confirmed, the statuses a payment goes through, notifications, the platforms and versions and what broke before. Screenshots with made-up data, a feature list or requirements: up to 5 files as images, Word, Excel or PDF. Never send real account numbers, cards, logins, codes or client data.

We will ask you:

  • Which money flows should be covered?
  • What are your rules for limits and fees?
  • How is a payment confirmed?
  • What has broken before?

Payment protection

You pay when you order, but the money is released only for accepted work.

  • Fixed priceThe package price does not change after you pay.
  • The money is reservedWhen you pay, the amount is only reserved. It is released to the service once you accept the work.
  • Checked before deliveryEvery result goes through a quality check before it reaches you, and you see it on the order page before accepting it.
  • Free revisionsAsk for changes within your brief as many times as the package allows.
  • Acceptance after 3 daysIf within 3 days of delivery you neither accept the work nor ask for changes, it is accepted automatically. If you write in the order chat after delivery, the order waits; once we answer, we may start the 3 days again and will say so in the chat.
  • Redo or a full refundIf the result does not match your brief and the revisions did not fix it, or the work takes more than twice its deadline, write in the order chat: we will redo the work or refund the payment in full.

Questions and answers

Will you test the app or make payments?

No. We write the cases and checklists; your people run them in a test environment. We never log in, move money or use your app.

Do the cases show that we meet banking rules?

No. We take your rules for limits, fees and checks as you give them and write cases that show whether the app follows them. Whether your rules meet the law or a regulator's requirements is for your compliance and legal advisers.

Is this a security test?

The cases include basic checks, such as a confirmation code not working twice. They are not a security audit or a penetration test.

Which data should we run the cases on?

On a test environment with made-up accounts and amounts. The cases never need real clients, cards or money.

Do test cases mean the product has no bugs?

No. They cover what you describe at the depth of your package; bugs outside the cases can remain, and the result depends on how carefully the cases are run.
