Polteq. Premium software quality
Polteq tests software. We have been the very best at that, for almost 25 years. As an anchor within dozens of Agile and DevOps teams, we guarantee the quality of your software. From Performance to Process Test. From Advice to Acceptance. In The Netherlands and Belgium.
We test where software touches your critical processes. Where it would hurt, if things were to go wrong. Our test experts oversee the entire complex process of software development. This allows us to quickly assess where the biggest risks are specifically for you. Good testing is customized. Even Automated Testing never goes without a personal touch.
Professionals work at Polteq. Only highly trained, accredited testing professionals. We know that for sure, because we train the entire test market ourselves. Our colleagues, our customers, even our competitors. This is how our testing professionals elevate your software to the very highest level, because that’s what it’s all about.
Software development is people work. And making mistakes is human. Finding, eliminating and preventing these mistakes is Polteq’s raison d’être. This ensures maximum quality and optimal user experience. And that the client is happy with software.

How it began: Polteq Pioneers
In 2000, Martin Pol and Marjolein Steyerberg founded Polteq together, as pioneers in the field of software testing. Polteq was established with a focus on delivering high-quality services through experienced test consultants and test managers. Their goal was to develop software testing as a profession and to provide solutions to current challenges.
Being the Best
Martin, the founder of the Dutch practice for software testing, has a long and proven track record in the testing field. He initiated the development of the TMap® testing methodology and the Test Process Improvement model (TPI®), methods that are applied worldwide.
He is the author of numerous publications on structured testing and the founder of the Dutch SIGIST, TestNet. Now with nearly 2,000 members, TestNet is the popular network organization by, for, and of testers. In 2010, he was knighted in the Order of Orange-Nassau for his international role in the development of structured testing. He was also the first recipient of the European Testing Excellence Award in Munich, Germany, in 1998. Martin is still frequently invited to speak about innovations in IT and their related impact on the field of software testing.
In addition to Martin, Marjolein served as co-director, responsible for daily operations. She implemented growth plans and ensured that nothing was overlooked. Today, she remains a member of Polteq’s Advisory Board.
Beyond consultancy and expanding training programs in software testing, Polteq further broadened its services in 2004 with test engineering and test coordination. Once again, a smart move that met the needs of our clients. Polteq subsequently grew into a company with eight offices throughout the Netherlands and Belgium.
Staying the Best
Today, Polteq still embodies the pioneering spirit. Our test professionals are continuously seeking innovation and improvement, keeping Polteq at the forefront.
Remaining the best testing company is achieved by maintaining our high level of knowledge through our own training institute and our involvement in innovations. Our R&D department closely monitors market developments.
Polteq’s focus is entirely on ensuring software quality, making us the specialist in this field. But we are not only the best software testers; we are also specialized in establishing and improving test processes and solving the most complex testing challenges.
This makes us more than a service provider; we are your partner in success. We are proud that in a quarter of a century we have grown into one of the largest specialized providers of consulting and testing services in the Netherlands and Belgium.
