Software Testing

Satisfice - Satisfice specializes in heuristic testing, risk-based testing, exploratory testing, and other practices that have become state of the art in this world of rapid, component-based software development. But we don't believe that test practices, alone, are of much use. Good testing depends on the testers themselves, and the quality of the environment in which they work. That's where we focus. We develop methods of recruiting and training testers, managing the test process, and managing software projects that allow our clients to produce great software in a chaotic world.
