Wavefront has partnered with Mob4Hire to provide our members with an online community where users of mobile smartphones, feature phones, wireless devices and tablets ( iPad, Amazon Kindle, etc.) help content publishers (mobile and tablet developers, mobile market researchers, mobile advertisers, consumer facing brands) with mobile market research and in-market functional and usability testing of mobile applications ( apps ), mobile websites (mobile 2.0), mobile ad campaigns and mobile appvertising.

Mob4Hire significantly reduces costs and time to market by connecting mobile developers with an eager, lower priced, crowd sourced global workforce of mobile testers and market focus group and research panel members. Mob4hire was formed to help solve the daunting testing and marketing problem that occurs when mobile developers are faced with the tremendous variety of mobile handsets, networks and platforms that exist today.

With 51,000 mobile testers in 152 countries, and 1,700 registered mobile developers from 90 countries, Mob4Hire is the world’s largest mobile testing and market research community

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.
