Desktop application testing
We test your application on the systems, versions and resolutions where it really lives: Windows and macOS, different setups and screens. Working on your machine isn't enough; working on your users' machines is.
What is desktop application testing?
Desktop application testing checks that your installable software (on Windows or macOS) works correctly across the range of machines, operating-system versions and resolutions your customers use. It's not enough that it starts on your machine: it has to install, update and behave just as well in every environment.
We verify installation, behavior, display scaling, system permissions and performance across a real matrix of configurations. We reproduce the combinations where bugs usually hide (that Windows version, that 4K resolution, that machine with less memory) before your user finds them.
Why the same installer doesn't behave the same everywhere
The desktop is fragmented ground: operating-system versions, resolutions, DPI scaling, permissions and different hardware on every machine. An app that runs smoothly on your laptop can fail to install on Windows 10, look broken at 4K or crash on an Apple Silicon Mac. Testing that matrix before you ship separates a clean launch from an avalanche of tickets.
What you gain by testing in every environment
Without compatibility testing
What you gain with the matrix covered
We test Windows and macOS on your audience's real versions and resolutions, not just on ours.
We validate installing, updating and uninstalling in every environment so no one gets stuck halfway.
We check DPI scaling, multi-monitor and resolutions from 1080p to 4K with no broken or clipped elements.
We catch per-environment bugs before you ship, so your support team doesn't become the QA team.
Our process, step by step
Defining the environment matrix
runningWe agree which systems, versions, resolutions and setups represent your real users.
Setting up machines and virtual machines
queuedWe build real and virtualized Windows and macOS environments with every target version and resolution.
Install, update and uninstall
queuedWe test the full installer cycle in every environment: clean install, update from previous versions and uninstall with no leftovers.
Functional and visual tests per environment
queuedWe run the critical flows and verify scaling, multi-monitor, permissions and performance in each combination.
Compatibility report and recommendations
queuedWe deliver what works in each environment, the issues with screenshots and the actions to fix them.
Real environment coverage, explained without jargon
We're an ISTQB®-certified team with a fleet of machines and virtual machines covering the Windows and macOS versions your customers actually use. We don't test on "a computer": we test on your matrix, and tell you in your language what to fix and why.
