About

Test Hats are a team of independent Software Testing and Quality Assurance professionals, who can act either as your sole outsource solution or as a multi-source partner.

We are specialists in testing consumer facing and interactive software. This covers assets such as websites and web applications including micro-sites, social media integration and email campaigns, mobile and portable media, gaming and games across all platforms, CMS, creative and technical design and CAD applications.
