Electrical Testing Software for site results
If you are searching for electrical testing software, you are probably trying to capture results while the job is happening, not rebuild the inspection later from paper notes.
Direct answer: TestFast is electrical testing software for UK electricians. It helps record test results on site, capture circuit data and observations, use Megger MFT-X1 LiveSync where available, keep core report entry usable in poor signal, and produce certificates from the same workflow.
- ✅Can I record inspection and test results while I am still on site?
- ✅Can Bluetooth test data, circuit schedules, and manual entry live in the same workflow?
- ✅Can the testing workflow keep moving when signal is weak and still produce certificate output?

Trusted by UK electricians looking for electrical testing software
"After years fighting the NICEIC system, slow, complicated, and opaque, TestFast is a breath of fresh air. Data entry that used to take forever now takes minutes. The zero lag performance is crucial for me. As someone who enters all the data but does not approve certificates, I need something that just works. No loading screens, no crashes. Simple and transparent."

"Methods have fallen behind the times given the importance of the industry. TestFast has enabled us to focus more on actually testing and inspecting rather than data entry and proofreading. After losing schedules through one of the big bodies multiple times, my frustration was peaking. The zero-lag performance means no more lost work. Genuinely well-built software, and the back-end support has been fantastic. Everybody wins."

"NoteScribe OCR has been a game changer. I used to type every observation manually, now 60% of my report is done quicker, giving me more time for actual inspections. I scan my handwritten sheets and just QC what has been scanned instead of typing everything. More time on the tools, less time on admin."
Wayne Grant
Electrical Manager • Aberdeen • NICEIC • 20 years
"Other software tries to do everything and does it all badly, every update breaks something else. TestFast just does the basics brilliantly. Taking a photo of the board and having it auto-fill saves me 15-30 minutes per EICR, and the speed means I can be more thorough on site rather than rushing to escape the admin. Just try it, it changed my life."
Simon Hammond
Electrician/Director • Devon • NAPIT • 17 years
"The NICEIC online system always felt slower and clunkier than it needed to be. Now I can type up a whole schedule in about 30 minutes, it just works smoothly. I wouldn't recommend TestFast to anyone I wouldn't consider a true sparky. If you cut corners on test sheets or miss the obvious fails in front of your face, this isn't for you."
Callum Bradley
Director, Electri-Cal NE Ltd • Northumberland • 18 years
"Typing up observations used to eat my time. NoteScribe OCR has made my reports around 50% quicker and actually more thorough and professional. Better than any other software I've tried."
Stephen
Electrician • Leeds • NAPIT • 26 years
"Grid entry was such a pain I'd given up and gone back to handwritten reports entirely. TestFast changed that, the Observation Builder makes the whole process simple and I'm done in under 20 minutes. Fast, professional results every time."

Why do electricians search for electrical testing software?
Why does testing data get typed twice?
Many inspection and testing workflows still split the job into two separate tasks: collect the results on site, then rebuild the report later.
Test values recorded on paper, photos, or rough notes before being typed into a certificate.
Circuit schedules and observations created separately from the inspection workflow.
Weak signal, slow forms, or unsupported tools breaking momentum while the electrician is still testing.
When the testing workflow and the certificate workflow are separated, the electrician pays for it in duplicated admin.
Testing data should move with the job.
How should electrical testing software work?
TestFast connects site testing with report creation. It helps UK electricians capture results, circuit data, observations, and certificate output in one workflow, with LiveSync for Megger MFT-X1 where available and manual entry always supported.
Record test results as the job happens instead of rebuilding them later.
Use NoteScribe OCR for circuit schedules and Megger MFT-X1 LiveSync where it saves real entry time.
Keep core report entry and observations usable in poor signal, then sync when connection returns.
Faster site admin without thinner inspection records.
The electrician still reviews the work. TestFast removes the repeated typing around the work.

TestFast
Hey, it's Michael 👋
For 10 years, I was on the tools, thorough inspections, detailed observations, doing it right even when no one was watching.
Then I spent three years as a software engineer. I learned that slow, clunky tools are a choice, not a technical limitation.
When I came back to the tools, I couldn't unsee it. The EICR software was forcing me to choose: do thorough work, or get home on time.
I was rushing through observations to escape the interface. Skipping details to avoid the soul-crushing grid entry. I was doing worse work because software made thoroughness harder, not easier.
That's when I realised: if cheap tools make you do cheap work, then crap software makes you do crap reports. And I refused to accept that.
So I built TestFast on one principle:
Automation should eliminate the admin. Your expertise stays on the inspection.
- Your time on electrical work, not data entry
- Thoroughness should be easier, not harder
- Your standards don't change, the friction does
This isn't just another cert app. It's the tool I wish I'd had for the last decade.
How does TestFast support inspection and testing?
Electrical testing software has three practical jobs. Capture results, shape findings, finish the certificate.
Can test results go straight into the workflow?
On a busy board, the slow part is often not taking the reading. It is making sure every reading lands in the right place later.
That is the duplicated admin electrical testing software should remove.
Record results while the inspection is still in front of you.
LiveSync - Megger MFT-X1
Where available, LiveSync streams test values from the Megger MFT-X1 into the workflow so supported readings do not need to be typed again.
Manual entry stays available
Live data capture is useful, but electricians still need normal manual entry for unsupported testers, checks, edits, and practical site situations.
- The testing workflow should support both automation and ordinary manual entry.

That's why they remember you.
That's the reputation that separates you from sparkies who cut corners.
What should electrical testing software include?
For UK electricians, testing software should support the practical site workflow: opening the job, capturing circuit data, entering or syncing test values, writing observations, working through poor signal, and producing the certificate from the same data.

Questions to ask before choosing:
Can I enter test results manually as well as use supported Bluetooth capture?
Does it support Megger MFT-X1 LiveSync if I want live tester data?
Can circuit schedules, observations, and test results stay in one workflow?
Can I keep working on site when signal is weak and sync the report later?
Testing software should make the report faster because the data path is shorter.
Not because inspection detail was skipped. Because the same site data carries through to the certificate.
How much does electrical testing software cost? Start free, then upgrade when testing admin costs more than the plan.
