An article about software testers. It's enough to fill you with dread, right? Not this one.
Picture five friends in the software testing industry who loved what they were doing; providing stellar software testing services, with a passion for customer service. Cinq Amis was born. And, because we value long-term relationship building as much as the work we do, we're very selective about who we partner with. Like Afferent!
In the beginning there was… software testing
Pre-Cinq Amis, our directors worked in many different areas of software testing. One thing was clear though, it wasn't always as smooth a process as we knew it could be. We saw skills gaps in teams. Testers were siloed off to the dark recesses of businesses. There was a LOT of process.
But we loved what we were doing, dammit. We wanted to be in the light. Banging the drum for innovative testing, not just throwing people at the problem.
Our collective experiences started to morph into a hive mind when we all sat down and thought, why not? Let's do it ourselves.
Cinq Amis was formed so we could build relationships for the long-term. Testing doesn't have to be faceless, boring and corporate. It can be five friends, becoming directors, doing what they love with clients that keep coming back because we save them money, speed up results and routes to market, and much more.
What do our clients say?
'The founders of Cinq Amis are in my opinion the perfect example of a team. Every one of them is dedicated, professional and very good at what they do. Most importantly though they are extremely nice people and make even the most challenging of implementations fun.'
