NSTL, the world's leading technology testing company, and SQS-UK have developed a cost-effective mobile application testing solution that allows developers to accelerate the time-to-market of their mobile applications.

Based on the application testing experience gained managing the industry's most successful certification programs, our offering provides mobile application developers/publishers:

  • Acceleration of Time-to-Market
  • Platform Expertise
  • Budget Flexibility

 

 

Budget Flexibility
Our standard offering provides no surprises when it comes to price. Our cost-effective rates are a function of team size and overall testing time. This flexibility allows developers/publishers to manage their budget appropriately and eliminates or reduces the need for a fixed cost, in-house test team. NSTL and SQS will manage and execute all of the testing, thereby removing the potential HR headaches associated with adding and removing staff.

How we do it
Mobile application testing is a core competency of NSTL. Because of this, we have teams of testers that we can devote and can provide flexibility by adding or reducing staff based on our client's needs. Whether because of adding handsets, titles or simply trying to accelerate time-to-market, we have the capabilities necessary to increase scale with demand. It all simply means that you only pay for the resources you use. By pre-testing your application, if it passes we guarantee that it will then receive final certification. This removes any possibility of having to re-apply and redevelop after failure and incurring more costs.

Acceleration of Time-to-Market
With the ever-changing demands of the wireless marketplace, nothing is more critical than time-to-market, especially for the bottom line. Our mobile application offering will accelerate the time-to-market of an application by using our expertise and flexibility to better prepare the application for:

  • The entire QA process
  • The various industry certification programs
  • Eventual market launch

 

 

 

Our experience with these programs and standards is unmatched and will allow us to quickly and efficiently identify important application issues, thereby reducing the total QA time while not sacrificing quality.

Platform Expertise
NSTL is the authorized test facility for six leading certification programs (BREW, Microsoft Mobile2Market, Microsoft Pocket PC, Microsoft Smartphone, Java Verified, Nokia OK) and performs application testing for many of the major carriers in the United States and Europe.

These programs and partnerships allow us to not only perform testing on most of the handsets in the marketplace, it also allows us to become familiar with them prior to the market launch.
