About Plain Morrow
A careful, independent view of your product.
We are Nicholas Farquhar and Jaco Smit, application development graduates in South Africa with hands-on application testing experience. We started Plain Morrow Testing to help teams find and explain product issues before important releases.
Why we do this
Clear evidence helps teams move forward.
Both of us earned bachelor's degrees in Computer and Information Sciences, specialising in application development, and graduated cum laude. Testing real applications taught us how much detail matters when a user journey breaks.
We focus on agreed journeys, repeatable evidence, and reports that developers and decision-makers can both use. Every quote defines what we will test, what we will deliver, and what falls outside the scope.

Relevant experience
Experience shaped by a real product.
Nicholas and Jaco helped test BlastPro's web and Android applications for surface blast planning. They shared feedback with the project team as the applications developed.
That experience informed Plain Morrow Testing’s approach: agree on the journeys, explain what happened, and give the team a useful next step. BlastPro was project work, not a paid Plain Morrow client engagement.
