A career devoted to better testing
You might not need a new framework. You need someone who’s seen this fire before.
Randy Rice has spent over forty years walking into situations where software is failing. He can find the fault lines that others have walked past. When your software isn’t working right, that’s the call.
The release looked clean. All the tests passed. Everyone went home.
Now, it’s 2:14 a.m., and your phone dings…it’s your outage, your customer on the phone, your name on the incident report. And the room is full of smart people saying the same thing:
“It worked in testing.”
That sentence is the problem. Passed and works stopped being the same thing a while ago – and most teams haven’t caught up to how far apart they’ve drifted.
Randy has stood in that room many times. He knows it’s rarely the bug you’re staring at. It’s the one three layers back that nobody thought to look for.
It’s not how many tests you ran or how many tests passed. It’s what those tests revealed or missed that matters.

Ways to work with Randy
Useful insight throughout – not just a report at the end.
He listens carefully, examines the evidence, and communicates candidly—including concerns your team may be too close to the situation, too overwhelmed, or too invested in previous decisions to see clearly.
When releases are failing…
Randy helps identify the biggest risks, distinguish symptoms from underlying causes, and decide what to address first.
When builds are green, but defects still reach production…
High coverage and passing test suites do not always tell the whole story. Randy helps leaders determine which measures provide meaningful information—and which may be creating false confidence.
After the immediate problem…
Randy can support ongoing improvement, help strengthen the team’s judgment, and establish practices that lead to better decisions when he is no longer in the room.
