Testing for Alexa Skills

Launching a successful Alexa skill is dependent on an infinite number of variables–from user accents to background noise. The complex and connected nature of voice can only be tested with native speakers and real devices.

Deliver A Five-Star Alexa Skill Experience

Receive actionable insights to make informed decisions.

With more than 50,000 Alexa skills available in the U.S. alone, developers are challenged to create a skill that is unique and valuable for consumers. Users who have one poor experience using a skill will likely not engage with that skill again. However, due to the complex and evolving nature of voice, delivering a skill that is natural and engaging for users is no simple task.

Leveraging a trusted global community of vetted digital experts, Applause assembles customized testing teams of native speakers that match your unique requirements. This allows developers to test their Alexa skills with real voices, validating they work properly across languages, dialects, genders, and age groups.

With Alexa capabilities available across a wide range of devices, your skill must be tested across the entire experience. Applause provides unlimited device coverage so skills can be tested on any Alexa-enabled device, including multimodal interfaces. Developers will receive actionable results and in-depth feedback to ensure their Alexa skills function properly and are intuitive for every user.
