Calleo Software awarded the Partner of the Year 2018 for UK and Ireland

Calleo is the Micro Focus Partner of the Year – 2018 for UK and Ireland! 

We were both surprised and delighted to receive the award, on behalf of Calleo, at the recent Micro Focus worldwide partner conference in Berlin in June 2018.

We achieved Gold Partner Status in 2017, now this is a further recognition of our knowledge of the Micro Focus software testing solutions (formerly HPE) software tools. 

It’s a real honour – however, the bigger honour has been helping so many great companies find the right testing tools for their needs. I’m looking forward to helping many more of you in the future!

Test Automation Hype

Are Test Automation Claims Just Marketing Hype?

6 August, 2025

Read the marketing collateral from test automation vendors and you’ll encounter bold promises around costs, coverage, and defect reduction. However, for many who have been through multiple automation initiatives, the reality frequently fails to live up to the pitch.

Adding More Testers Makes Quality Worse

When Adding More Testers Makes Quality Worse!

30 July, 2025

You’re deep into a project, go-live is rapidly approaching, but there is a mountain of testing to get through. Then, a key stakeholder chimes in, “Let’s just pull more people into testing.” It sounds logical: bigger effort, higher quality. But doubling down on resources can easily lead to chaos, confusion, and worse software quality.

Is Open Source Trustworthy

Do You Trust Open-Source Tools for Enterprise Testing?

16 July, 2025

Open-source testing tools like JMeter and Selenium have obvious appeal—no licensing fees, endless customisation, and a community to lean on. But, if you’re using open-source for mission-critical testing, you need to ask—is it really worth the risk?

Should testers be allowed to block releases?

Should Testers Be Allowed to Block Releases?

9 July, 2025

Your testers find a critical bug the night before a major release. Should they have the power to stop the launch?

Testers provide essential insights into software quality and risk. Their analysis is critical for decision-makers, so would it make sense to give them the power to veto releases?

Bug seeding

Bebugging: Would You Plant Defects to Test Testers?

2 July, 2025

Would you intentionally plant defects to test your test team? Bebugging, as it’s known, is a technique where software flaws are purposely introduced to gauge testing effectiveness. Are there times and places where bebugging is a valid way to help improve processes, tighten up testing, or root out a potential weak link?

Unethical Test Tool Marketing

Exposed: Are You Being Conned By Test Tool Marketing?

25 June, 2025

We have all witnessed an alarming rise in deceptive marketing practices that undermine customer decision-making and market integrity, with tool vendors increasingly comparing their tools to industry leaders using deliberately misleading information.

Flaky Automated Tests

Are Flaky Automated Tests Better Than None at All?

17 June, 2025

Is flaky automation better than no automation at all? Does it help accelerate projects and reduce timelines, or does it end up causing more problems than it solves? And are the questions moot when, with modern AI-powered tools, there’s no excuse for flaky tests?

Software Testing Concepts

Software QA Mythbusting: 5 Misunderstood Testing Concepts

10 June, 2025

We’ve all been there—sitting in a meeting, nodding along, confident that everyone shares the same understanding, only to discover later that our ideas were built on shaky ground, based on false assumptions and an incomplete grasp of a complex situation. In the world of software development, nowhere is this more common, or more consequential, than with software testing.

LoadRunner v JMeter

LoadRunner: Cheaper & Easier Than JMeter?

3 June, 2025

Four years ago, I wrote about how LoadRunner Cloud was debunking the myth that open-source is cheaper. At the time, LoadRunner Cloud’s pay-as-you-go pricing, bundled infrastructure, and rapid setup were already making it a compelling alternative to JMeter and similar tools.
