Improving quality together

One recent change in software development is developers starting to take responsibility for the quality of their work by writing and executing automated tests. As with any new activity, there is a wide range of ways to perform this task. DevCreek collects, aggregates, and displays testing activity for individuals, teams, and the developer community as a whole. The goal is to provide individuals with global norms with which they can compare their testing. We currently have twenty person-years worth of data, with the goal of collecting thousands more from a variety of languages, tools, and domains.
