  • TestMDM 2.0 is now live!

    It’s been two years since the release of TestMDM 1.0. Today, I unleash version 2.0 onto the world!

  • TestMDM 2.0

    As TestMDM has just had its second birthday (I can’t believe it either), I wanted to start sharing some of the changes I’ve made in version 2.0. The core of the product remains the same with a few improvements to the code. The biggest change is that TestMDM will now… Read ⇢
