Run automated tests without installing software or modifying the application under test in secure environments.
Create Once, Test Everywhere
Execute the same automated tests across Windows, Linux, desktop, web and mobile environments from a single platform.
Visual Automation & Verification
Capture operator interactions and validate interfaces using image recognition and OCR without modifying the application under test.
Secure On-Premise Deployment
Deploy within secure customer environments with complete control over infrastructure, data and execution.
Air-Gapped & Offline Ready
Support testing in disconnected, classified and restricted environments where internet access is unavailable.
Legacy & Mission-Critical Systems
Automate testing across long-life defence applications alongside modern software and embedded interfaces.
External Data & API Integration

Why Automate Defence Software Testing?
Defence software is becoming increasingly complex, with longer system lifecycles, more frequent updates and higher expectations around security, compliance and software assurance. Manual testing alone makes it difficult to validate mission-critical systems quickly, consistently and at scale.
Automated testing enables engineering teams to verify software earlier, increase release confidence and maintain consistent quality across secure and operational environments. It also provides the repeatability and traceability needed to support evolving standards, including the Cyber Resilience Act and other software assurance requirements.
- Improve software quality and release confidence
- Reduce repetitive manual testing and validation effort
- Increase test coverage across platforms and environments
- Support faster, more secure software delivery
Trusted by Leading Defence Contractors
Proven in Real Defence Projects
T-Plan has helped defence organisations accelerate software testing for mission-critical applications while maintaining the security, reliability and cross-platform compatibility required in regulated environments.
One recent project involved automating testing for a critical COVID-19 application developed within the defence sector. The team was able to install, configure and begin creating automated tests in just 15 minutes, with repeatable testing achieved within 3–4 hours.

Your Quality Assurance Testing Tool
T-Plan has over 20 years’ experience of desktop software test automation. We recognise how detail-driven accountancy is. Similarly, that delivering both HMRC compliance precision and an ultra-efficient, cost-effective client service is vital.
Moreover, the move to cloud-based accounting is right here, right now. Could quality issues get in the way?
The solution is as essential as a tax return.
T-Plan Robot can be your first choice for black box GUI automation. It automates the testing of software or business processes on a desktop or a mobile at end-user level, mimicking the work that a human being would do. Yet, more efficiently, much faster, without errors, and with no need for holidays or days off.
With no need for modification to the system or application under automation, there’s no “intrusion” necessary.
Software Testing for the Accountancy Sector
Our aim is to improve the quality, predictability and overall performance of accountancy applications, software and processes. With automated testing from T-Plan, any system bugs will be picked up before the product goes into production. And, of course, a long time before it reaches your end users.
repetitive, lower-level testing tasks, you could save hundreds of working hours. The benefits are clear: cost savings, with improved accuracy and efficiency.
Is your end product fit for purpose? With Robot, you’ll know.
This is T-Plan Robot.
T-Plan’s test automation software automates any type of application that employs a User Interface. It’s an “image-based” automation tool that’s tailored to your needs.
Technology Agnostic
We’re proud of our unique non-partisan, technological approach. Supporting Java, T-Plan robot works super-efficiently across all desktop platforms, including Linux, Windows and Mac, as well as on both iOS and Android mobiles.
Further, whether you operate Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox or any other browser, Robot won’t discriminate. It’s the automated testing tool that does all the hard work for you.
T-Plan’s solution is affordable: there’s no need for separate licenses. Robot works across all systems and all environments.
