Why We Started Test Double
Software is broken, and we're working hard to fix it. At Test Double, our mission is to improve the way the world builds software. While the goal may seem audacious, it’s what drives us. We believe that the current state of software development is not good enough and we’re looking for others to join our cause.

Our Consultants
Developers at Test Double focus on writing high quality software to solve our customer’s problems. We implement solutions that are well-tested, easily maintained, and built with empathy for users. Many of our engagements allow us to work alongside our clients as embedded members of the team. We take on a variety of projects and clients, which provides a kind of experience accelerator.

Core Values
Knowledge sharing and continuous improvement are among our core values. We're proud to support our Double Agents when they speak at conferences, blog, contribute to open source, and organize in their local software community. Another core value is that we’re owners. We own problems and solutions. And we’re all actual owners, because Test Double is 100% employee-owned through an ESOP.

Our CultureTest Double is a small, growing, and adaptable agency. We actively enlist the help of all of our developers to guide and improve our business. Those opportunities include participating in our candidate qualification process, strategic expansion with our current clients, and active involvement to support equity, diversity and inclusion.

Central to our success over 10 years as a growing company is focusing on people first. We want all of our Double Agents to feel happy, healthy, and supported. Work-life balance is paramount to achieving this goal. We provide ample opportunities for our developers to feel engaged, including employee resource groups centered around interpersonal growth, weekly team hangouts to learn a new skill, coffee chats to meet other team members, TD Connect internal events, and much more.
