Detailed Description

• Imagine this: you finally finish writing that code. Now comes the tedious part - setting up the testing environment with the latest versions of all the tools you need. Wouldn’t it be awesome to have this easily available to you?
• Millions of our enterprise customers and software vendors deal with this every month. It slows down their progress and makes their lives a little less fun. They cannot easily re-test their code as new security updates for Windows come out every month.

We actively create an environment where everyone’s ideas can be heard and can contribute toward a much better end result.
