What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their work was high-quality and very professional. We go back to them because of the results they deliver.
How did Test Double perform from a project management standpoint?
From a project management perspective, with me as project manager, they were good to work with and managed their time well. When needed, they’d work late and long hours when there was a customer issue. We could always count on them being there.
We used a pretty typical agile framework with sprints about every two weeks. We used Pivotal Tracker for our workflow management and communicated through email, Slack, GitHub, and Zoom.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They provide qualified staff augmentation; you can get top-rate developers that merge with internal staff and come up to speed pretty quickly. Sometimes we needed more bandwidth, and they were able to provide that for us.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They should be careful as to not dilute their quality as they grow. It’s hard to expand and continue to offer the same expertise.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Make sure to establish the desired relationship with them up front. Know project needs and communicate that with them before starting the collaboration. This holds true whether you're strong in your practices but need staff augmentation, or you're a company that does not have a lot of experience with software development and need process and project management.
High-quality deliverables, professionalism, and stellar time management are highlights of their work. Test Double’s willingness to work overtime when issues arise and the availability of their top-level developers who catch on quickly during projects make them the preferred partner for future work.
