About this site

Publisher

Published by the author named on this site as an independent reference. The site sells nothing, accepts no listing fees, and has no paid placements.

Self-funded by the author. No sponsorships.

The site does not sell testing, does not rank tools and does not recommend vendors. How risks and tests are chosen is in the methodology; types that did not meet the evidence threshold are on the not-published page.

Two external resources are linked from fixed slots on this site: one on deciding whether to test at all, one on choosing a testing vendor. This site has no relationship with their publishers.
