Quality is bigger than testing.
The question behind the Luvo 100 is simple: who are the people making the most significant contribution to better software?
Nobody needs "quality" in their job title. We recognise engineers, leaders, researchers, accessibility and security specialists, SREs, platform and AI practitioners, open-source contributors and community builders — anyone whose work materially improves the quality of software.
How the rankings workHalf community. Half editorial.
