Beta testing can be slow and costly, and it is hard to show what you get back. To find out, Centercode interviewed seven customers in April 2020 about the challenges they faced and the results they saw.
The study turns those interviews into a three-year model of a composite organization, covering hours saved, feedback gathered, bugs fixed before release, and engineering efficiency. If you are weighing the value of customer testing, it offers a framework for judging the potential financial impact, built on real customer interviews.
What’s inside
Challenges before Centercode
What seven customers struggled with, from projects that took upwards of 180 hours and low tester engagement to test data scattered across email, surveys and spreadsheets.
Time, feedback, and bugs fixed
Study hours cut from an average of 180 to under 110, over 3,600 new pieces of feedback, bugs fixed before release, and a 10% engineering efficiency gain.
Benefits beyond the numbers
Gains the study left unquantified, like a testing framework, a better-matched tester pool and all test data in one tool.
A three-year composite model
How the findings roll up for a composite organization running 10 projects in year one, with a financial summary and the study's methodology.
