About Altom

Altom is a Romanian software testing company founded in 2008 by a group of senior test consultants - Oana Casapu, Ru Cindrea and Alexandru Rotaru. From the beginning, our goal was to start a company that would do exclusively software testing and provide the benefit of having independent consultants evaluate the clients'​ software. Our main office is located in Cluj-Napoca, a city that offers very good business opportunities, as well as excellent software testing experts and well-trained IT specialists.

One of our main goals is to help consolidate the testing community and contribute to changing the view on testing. This is reflected in the name we have chosen for ourselves - "Altom"​ - which translates as "a different / a new person"​, echoing an old Romanian saying "Ma simt alt om"​ (literally, "I feel like a new person"​, meaning "I feel so much better and refreshed"​ after a positive change). Indeed, we are trying to promote and support a different attitude to testing and help our clients and our employees enjoy the benefits of this change.
