asknet and testhub Enter Strategic Partnership
Karlsruhe - August 1, 2013 - asknet, a leading provider of global
e-commerce solutions for software producers, has agreed to an exclusive
collaboration with testhub, a Berlin-based IT company specializing in
crowdsource software testing. The goal of the partnership is to give
asknet's customers access to highly professional website tests, mobile apps
and software products through testhub.
Regular usability tests are essential for websites, online shops and
digital products. However, because of the high costs of such tests, many
businesses, especially small ones, often only perform them occasionally.
testhub, a Berlin-based company, is specialized in providing inexpensive,
fast and detailed tests, conducted under real conditions, with high
target-group accuracy. testhub uses a pool of more than 10,000 testers -
from students to experts to silver surfers - for its tests.
Affordable Usability Tests for asknet Customers
Thanks to this new partnership, asknet customers now have an easy and
affordable way to have their digital services precisely tested by real
target-group users. 'In discussions with our customers, we noticed again
and again how big of a need there is for professional testing,' says
Christian Herkel, VP Global Accounts&E-Marketing at asknet AG. 'We are
thrilled to be able to offer this service to our customers through the
partnership with testhub, which is a highly expert vendor in this field.'
'Processing all IT testing requirements in-house is only possible for a few
companies these days,' says Torsten Meyer, COO of testhub. 'Because of
this, there are frequently blind spots that cannot be comprehensively
tested due to a lack of time or budget restrictions. This results in
unsatisfied customers and, consequently, drops in sales and usage numbers.
Using testhub's testing methods, you can find a targeted remedy here.'
About testhub
testhub has been developing and implementing software tests for large,
medium-sized and small companies from all different sectors for years.
testhub uses a heterogeneous pool of over 10,000 testers (as of June 2013),
which helps businesses receive target-group specific, high-quality test
results in all phases of software and web development that are
cost-efficient in comparison to conventional software tests. testhub's
crowdsource testing procedure is based on both quantitative and qualitative
testing methods. Crowd usability tests and the employment of 'thinking
aloud' methodology make it possible to obtain a dedicated view into the
intellectual world of customers, which produces valuable reporting results.
testhub affordably provides the basis for usability and conversion
optimization measures for digital products. Quality assurance -
professional bug tracking via Crowd - helps companies avoid organizational
blindness and reduce their resource expenditures. Our testers' high level
of motivation in searching for mistakes is guaranteed by performance-based
pay. Both explorative tests and the development of individual test cases
are possible. Use the power of crowds to find mistakes before your
customers do. Additional information can be found at www.testhub.com.
