Relentless testing
Red Gate Software is focused on making customers more productive, saving them time in the process, and having a blast. Our experience is that developers and database professionals have high-pressure jobs with workloads that leave little room for negotiating longer deadlines. As with all professionals who work to a set of milestones and delivery dates, the best tool on their toolbelt will almost always fulfill the following criteria:
- It's a Blast to use
- It's Easy to use
- It Saves time
- It's Tried and tested
We think Red Gate tools are the best on your toolbelt because we make sure they are.
Our Software Engineer to Software Tester ratio is currently 3 : 2 and, we are recruiting steadily towards a target ratio of 1 : 1.
In addition, for every development/testing team we employ a Usability Engineer, from start to finish of every project.
For us, Relentless Testing means:
- designing right, so bugs have nowhere to hide
- coding right, so bugs are easily flushed out of the system on a nightly basis
- testing right, so that even the most extreme conditions of use are replicated
- performing right, so that the end-user has a blast whenever they use the software
Our dedication to relentless testing means that the relationship between testers and developers is one of relentless creative tension. Read more about relentless testing in this discussion between Test Engineer, David Atkinson, and Software Developer, James Moore.
