Product testing, explained
What is beta testing?
Beta testing is using a product before it launches, as a real user would, to find bugs and confusing steps while they’re still cheap to fix. Testing after launch catches what slipped through and what new features broke.
Founder Michelle England has done beta testing and product feedback for software companies. She brings a small business owner’s view, a marketer’s eye for onboarding and messaging, and years in technical recruiting on data and search teams.
What do we test?
Anything a customer touches.
Software, apps and SaaS products
Websites, sign-up and checkout flows
New features before release
What isn’t this?
Clear limits.
Automated or load testing
Security or penetration testing
Large panels of hundreds of testers
Before or after launch
When should you test a product: before or after launch?
Both are useful. Testing before launch prevents problems; testing after launch finds what real use exposes.

Frequently asked questions about beta and product testing
How much does beta testing cost?
A product test is $750, including a recorded walkthrough, a bug list, usability findings and a prioritized report. Ongoing testing for each release is quoted.
What is the difference between beta testing and usability testing?
Beta testing checks a product before launch for bugs and problems. Usability testing focuses on whether people can use it easily. Our tests cover both from a real user’s point of view.
Do you test products after they launch?
Yes. Post-launch testing finds what real use exposes and checks new features as you release them.
Can you test mobile apps?
Yes, on the phones and tablets your customers use, as long as we can install a test build or the live app.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. We’re happy to sign your NDA before seeing an unreleased product.
Do you do automated or security testing?
No. We test as a real end user. For automated, load or security testing, you’ll want a specialist QA or security firm.
Do you work with companies outside Cincinnati?
Yes. Testing is done remotely for companies anywhere in the U.S.
