Most engineering teams in regulated environments cannot tell you which business-critical journeys are actually protected. The coverage number on a dashboard is a code percentage, not a risk map. It can pass every structural test and still show the wrong numbers, silently, in production.
We make software quality visible, credible, and defensible, at the speed AI-native development now demands. The Coverage Audit is the fastest way to start.
Coverage Audit, Quality Maturity Snapshot, and retainers. Risk findings your board can act on.
Quality Intelligence Platform. A live map of coverage risk across your systems.
UI Automation Framework. Enterprise Playwright with an AI agent pipeline.
Developer Efficiency Kit. Token efficiency for AI coding tools.
Coverage Audit
A risk-mapped picture of what your tests actually protect, framed for engineering leadership and the board.
Quality Maturity Snapshot
A structured assessment of how your team manages quality, with a regulatory overlay for DORA and FCA-regulated environments.
Advisory Retainer
Ongoing assessment and a monthly check-in. Quality risk, tracked as your systems change.
Journey-tier risk model
We rank every business journey by consequence. Tier 1: money movement, trade execution, authentication. Tier 2: the dashboards and statements that fail silently when the data is wrong but the page still renders. Tier 3: operational friction. Coverage is judged against this map.
Eight-dimension maturity model
A structured read of how a team manages quality, scored across Change Capability, Test and CI Health, Knowledge Architecture, Engineering Culture, Dependency Health and Learning Culture, plus Regulatory Alignment and Audit Evidence Posture for regulated teams.
Built for regulated environments
We speak the language your risk function already uses: DORA Article 25 testing evidence, FCA Important Business Services, test data exposure, and audit-ready release records. Findings land as regulatory risk, not QA tickets.

I started Certance after watching a portfolio dashboard pass every test it had and still show the wrong numbers. In regulated financial services, the gap between what a test suite checks and what the business depends on is everywhere, and almost no one can see it.
Before Certance, I spent years building and leading test automation inside regulated financial services. I built the enterprise Playwright framework and the AI agent pipeline Certance runs on, and learned which quality practices survive audits, refactors, and CI load. Certance turns that judgment into something a team can own.
A 3-day engagement that maps your test suite to the business journeys it is supposed to protect. Fixed fee: £3,500–5,000. No procurement required.
A business-readable report: a journey coverage table mapped to Tier 1, 2, and 3 business risk, the top five gaps ranked by consequence, and a clear picture of what is protected and what is not — framed for a Head of Risk, not an engineering standup.
