End-user testing is always a challenge so Wavefront has partnered with Mob4Hire to provide our members with a unique mobile testing solution that allows real people to test mobile applications in real field conditions. Mob4Hire provides mobile application developers with access to quality mobile testers located throughout the world. Mob4Hire currently has a database of 8000+ handsets with testers located in 91 countries on over 250 different networks.

 

 

MOB4HIRE SERVICES

• Technical Mobile Testing
  Simply log on to the Mob4Hire site and post your application along with a test plan, then select the required handsets, countries and networks from the Mob4Hire database. Mob4Hire will contact the appropriate testers and encourage them to bid on your project. Approximately 50% of the Mob4Hire handsets are in the hands of professional testers. Once you have selected your testers, they will download the application and complete the test plan. All payments are made through PayPal and Mob4Hire collects a commission. Monies are held in escrow for 5 days to allow the developer to judge the quality of the test report.
• Mobile Market Research
  The procedure for mobile market research is exactly the same as above but the test plan is different. In this case, a developer will pay a tester to download an application and complete a marketing survey along with key demographic information. This is an excellent, inexpensive method for a developer to contact early adopters anywhere in the world and ask key marketing questions such as: How did the GUI look on your handset? Was the application intuitive? Would you pay for this application and how much would you pay? Did you find any bugs? Would you recommend this application to your friends?
• Revenue Generation by Testing for Others
  Mob4Hire provides an excellent revenue opportunity for Wavefront members. Many developers have invested considerable money buying handsets in order to complete their own in-house testing. But in-house testing departments are not necessarily engaged 100% of the time. Mob4Hire can help you recoup some of your investments by adding your handsets and testers to the Mob4Hire site, where they can complete testing for other developers. Build community with other developers and make money, too.
