get unstuck
Get unstuck and accelerate delivery
The same habits that enable rapid growth at a project's outset can slow down productivity as teams scale and complexity mounts. Embedding pairs of senior, multi-disciplinary consultants makes a difference. They get up to speed freaky fast, deliver early and often, and don’t need a lot of management. That closeup view surfaces relative strengths to build on and also uncovers opportunities for improvements. As a bonus, it's also more cost-effective!
Tech & Techniques
We also speak a bunch of languages, frameworks, tooling, and techniques. And we’ll meet your team where they are, using your tools and processes.
Build Better
Improving what is built and how it's built
Think of us as extra capacity you can trust. We have experience to get things right the first time—because we’ve seen it before. Software teams succeed when they not only build the right thing, but also build it right. Combining experienced software engineers with experienced product managers is a great recipe for helping teams move faster to achieve quality software that unlocks true business value.
Working with industry-leading clients:
Value Quality
What makes for quality software?
Every team is different, and will face different challenges along the way. But those challenges often rhyme.
We focus on some essential truths to help teams improve how they build software:
- Scope to strategy
- Clarify complexity
- Fight for feedback
- Trust your team
- Own the outcome
I always left my interactions with Dustin & Test Double staff thinking that I was working with good people. Honest, transparent & accountable. If I’d had the chance, I wouldn’t mind going riding or making some turns on the mountain with them and sharing a drink at the end.
The last time I hired TD, their devs had a production commit by end of day one and were completing stories just like staff by end of week one.
Test Double wasn’t just in a rush to fill open seats. Instead, they worked with us as a business partner to ensure optimal technical and cultural fit.
Hot take: just have Test Double build all your stuff.
A software project delivered on time. Who would have guessed?!
Test Double delivered a performance that in one case doubled our throughput . . . Steve continues to see around corners— identifying gaps in our architecture, proposing and implementing new approaches. I couldn’t imagine this project succeeding without his technical leadership.
No task is too big or small, too glamorous or dirty—they are all handled with care and attention to detail. Test Double has been by far my favorite consulting experience in my career.
Test Double just works. I never have to worry about the level of skill and experience. Test Double always has it. I also never have to worry about trying to work their way. Instead, they work in my way—but always seek to improve it.
Each and every Test Double agent brings a spirit of empathy, humility, and earnestness to their work. They bring new and exciting ideas to the team without a lot of fanfare or ego. They coach and educate without being corrective or judgmental. They empowered our employees to lead efforts and encouraged them along the way. They became part of the fabric of the team—not them and us, but one team.
Matt Jones is a rock star. He has taken it upon himself to resolve several thorny issues. Just this morning he spiked out some code that made my request for the team to get a round-trip of a use case done super obvious about how to proceed. Bravo.
I love Test Double. I’m going to be working with them until I retire.
Give Test Double your hardest problems to solve.
Working with the Test Double team was very comfortable. They had deep experience with Rails and jumping into new codebases. They have good communication skills, they’re collaborative and are able to move forward quickly.
The technology backbone developed by Test Double made this project possible at the scale that was achieved. Test Double instantly jumped in to help bring the Curbside Concerts project to life. By providing two developers they worked several weeks to stand up the online interface and a custom scheduling tool to receive concert requests and schedule routes for the driver and artist that enabled us to bring joy to over 700 seniors amidst the height of the pandemic.
Since engaging Test Double, attrition has gone down and morale has gone up. It was a really easy discussion with my finance team to explain why we wanted to keep working with you all.
