Faster, Better, Cheaper: How Fortune 500 Companies are Seeing Massive ROI from Crowdsourced Testing

WATCH THE WEBINAR

The race to innovate can be costly without the right solution

In 2017, software failures impacted an estimated $1.7 trillion in assets, and more than 70% of these failures were the direct result of software bugs or usability glitches. These failures are unacceptable in a digital-first world — yet given the rapid pace of innovation, device fragmentation and increased global app usage, software quality issues are increasingly difficult to avoid. To combat these challenges, crowdsourced testing has emerged as a valuable complement to traditional QA, but how do you know which resource to invest in? It all comes down to ROI.

Applause recently commissioned a survey with Hobson & Company, a research firm focused on Return on Investment (ROI) studies, to better understand the key metrics used to evaluate and measure the business impact of their crowdsourced testing solution. In just 1.7 months, Hobson found that Applause clients can receive a full return on their investment, and a 753% ROI after 3 years. Applause and Hobson uncover the study's results and find out how crowdtesting can improve your organization's QA strategy.


WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Common QA challenges organizations face
  • Why crowdsourced testing is becoming a crucial aspect of QA teams’ processes
  • Specific areas where Applause created value for an existing client
  • 5 key metrics of concern when creating your own value assessment
