We're software developer and product management consultants
We solve software investment problems holistically—from strategy to execution
We’re not your typical software consultancy. We’re strategic advisors but we also embed with your engineering and product teams and work alongside them to uncover and solve root cause problems.
We get things done and set your team up to drive repeatable outcomes
So you succeed when we’re no longer needed. We tackle the technical and human aspects of every problem, striving to build both:
Great Software
- Build the thing right
- Focus on business value

Great Teams

Renew your legacy systems
Avoid expensive legacy rewrites by renovating existing systems and leveraging innovative uses of automated test tools.
Rewrites are costly, and generally don’t lead to the outcome promised. With legacy renovation our testing experience helps safely factor your legacy codebase while avoiding a costly rewrite.
Test Double employs a variety of techniques using automated testing to remediate legacy systems. Refactor with confidence, knowing your code is maintainable for years to come.
If your unique circumstances do point to a rewrite as the best option (long abandoned frameworks or tech) we’re still here for you. We have experience with large and complex rewrites, including supporting training and pairing on new tech.
Considering a rewrite? There’s a better way.

Update Rails versions seamlessly
Upgrade to secure, stable, and supported versions of the frameworks, libraries, and tooling your mission-critical applications rely on. You get more than a predictable upgrade plan. We lead by example and mentor your team to stay updated in the future. Because there’s always another Rails version update.
Clients like GitHub, Gusto, Zendesk and more have worked with Test Double to upgrade existing Rails applications forward. We have built a body of knowledge around how to update Rails versions and avoid risks. Your day-to-day production work can continue, and dual booting strategies can avoid running two versions of Rails all the time.
See how this approach paid off for Gusto.
Unsupported, insecure dependencies?

Scale with holistic DevOps
Evolve your DevOps practice, achieving more predictable costs and observable infrastructure.
We help cut cloud costs, increase security, and uncover more efficient processes so you can scale up sustainably in the right way at the right time.
We go further, by making sure your DevOps tooling is understood and can be managed by everyone on the team. Your team and infrastructure is more sustainable and predictable. You gain visibility for better decision making at all levels.
Wasting too much time on infrastructure?
Automate it!
Flexible Infrastructure
We seek first to understand your DevOps needs, and then design a solution that’s the right fit. We even train team members, so they can easily manage the platform and pipeline long after we’re gone.
- High availability infrastructure & disaster recovery
- Infrastructure as Code & CI/CD pipelines to enable your team
- Optimized platform expense & smarter decision making
- Infrastructure & security assessments
