MCV speaks to Testology’s Sam Read about the importance of getting the best people for the job
Tell us about your company for those who are unfamiliar with your services. We’re Testology and we like to break games. Testology has been helping game developers with functional, compat and compliance testing for eight years now.
Our MD Andy Robson founded Testology after running the test teams at Bullfrog and Lionhead. We take pride in the work that we do, we genuinely care about the final quality of our clients’ projects and we’re pretty fun to work with too.
What is your biggest success so far?
We’re still here after eight years and we’re here to stay. There’s nothing we’re more proud of than that.

What are the biggest challenges you face? We’ve got pretty high standards when it comes to hiring QA staff so finding the right people can be a challenge. We designed our interview process to highlight natural testing talent – an essential base for anyone wanting to join the ranks. We reckon we’ve interviewed around 4,000 people since Testology started. Everyone that applies for a job gets an interview. We know there’s undiscovered talent out there and we’re willing to give people the chance to prove they’ve got what it takes.
We’ve interviewed around 4,000 people since Testology started. Sam Read, Testology
Tell us something about your company no one knows. Our slogan ‘The Testosterone in Test’ was thought up by Andy’s partner Cara Wright.
We’re also planning a games- related world-record attempt, watch this space.
How did you choose your company name?
An ology is a discipline of study and we believe that QA is a skilled profession. This respect is what we are built on and we think ‘Testology’ reflects our approach to QA quite nicely.
