Our testers have an average of 6.5 years experience, and we take on a limited number of clients each year to ensure the best possible service.
We’re available to chat with our clients via Slack, IM, phone, email, or whichever chat client your team prefers, with always-on chat connectivity while your project is in test. Get the benefit of an internal team with the flexibility of an external one.
We provide technical services like compliance, automated testing, and Quality of Service checks, have high bug writing standards, and screencap and video capture issues.
We support for most popular consoles like the PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PSVita as well as PC/Steam and iOS devices.
We build a custom test plan and package for each client. Use our bug tracking and secure file transfer system with unlimited developer accounts and log-ins, or we can seamlessly integrate into your established workflow.
