Applause Review

PROS: Applause is very flexible tool, and they work along with our company and they changed the way they serve us. I feel that they really care of their customers and customers’ success. They helps us to make our experience more positive. I feel Applause as part of my QA team, that’s how loyal they really are.

CONS: I don’t have dislikes by now. Once I asked them if they could make tests during the night, which they did that, but I realized it wasn’t working the way I want, so I contact their team and they got me new team that works during the day. They are really great in meeting our needs.

PROS: We all know testing web or mobile app how difficult can be with all those operating systems types, versions, screen resolutions and many other factors. Applause solve the problem with in-house testing for small businesses. They provide specific testing option so you can test your app on different devices. It has great coverage of Oss and some other devices for testing, and you don’t need to buy various devices in order to test your app. You are able to control the tests and to link with Applause testers whenever you want. You will get updates no matter the status of the tests, the interface is extremely user friendly and intuitive, they even offer multilingual test so you can test the app in your native language if you wish, and it has integrations with many bug tracking systems, testers can attach video clip or even screenshot to the bug report as well. Their customer support is fantastic.

CONS: If your testers are not familiar with the app they need to test it takes time for testing process and test cycles, testers level is very important because they need to dig deeper to find even some hidden issues so they need more detailed testing plan that has to be prepared by the developer. It takes some time to learn how to use the program more effectively. It is expensive tool but on the other hand you don’t need to buy many other devices for testing.

PROS: Applause helps us to keep track of some issues and provides similarities over an extensive variety of mobiles. We are able to apply to various Coding Apps in Business Users group and an engineer group. We haven’t yet applied other options from this software, but we plan to apply them following months. It’s great tool with multiple types of testing that are accessible from practical to security testing. The analyzer group is huge, and in the event that we are searching for specific cases we are able to find out what we are searching for within the group.

CONS: I asked them if they could make me a group so I can test amid and I haven’t receive the answer. Also, it has some disadvantages to the compensation structure. Analyzes are not decent, there is a hole between coating up the testers and getting the results you need.

PROS: Great product for quick app improvement. We are able to put the content to the suit and it can be sorted on database. It is very helpful app and I am very satisfied that we finally found a way to automate it. The UI examples are incorporated with stage and helps us to do the work quickly and effortlessly. Out IT department can customize the venture app in less time and with greater flexibility.

CONS: When we tested our windows app, we faced some issues. In the development phase it didn’t catch some glitches, and we found about it later. Sometimes it breaks down and we need to quit app. But, for Android and iOS device work perfectly.

PROS: Its PM team is very responsive and helpful, they helped us to set up the test cycles and to get a test up and running without noticing it. Testers are from everywhere and they do the test anytime, so they can get overnight and weekend cycles testing. We use the bug management solution and we can leave messages for testers if we have some questions about the bug.

CONS: In my opinion there are some drawbacks for pay-per-bug compensation. Some bugs were uncovered and some of them were extraneous and it was difficult to sift through them all. I feel like I waste my time when I go through bugs in order to figure out which one were reproducible. Also, I found that tester engagement dropped quickly when we run some re-testing.

PROS: With Applause we are able to test our app in countries where we want to launch our products. We had some issues with customers in Columbia, and we couldn’t replicate the problem in US. But, Applause make it happen, they put a team together in Columbia and they managed to found the root of the issue.

CONS: Sometimes testers are not up to par, but this is not on a daily basis.

PROS: Great product with so many different types of testing such as functional and specialist security testing. We have just started using this product and we are really satisfied for now. It helps us to track important bugs before launch the app. We use it for getting short reports of quick review cycles so we can provide out QA teams with more coverage and breadth. It runs even when you are at home. We would like to use other Applause products like tracking software.

CONS: There is nothing to dislike about Applause, it is flexible tool and helps us to build professional team.

PROS: Launching app can be really stressful process. In the market there are lot of devices, software, platforms, OS permutations that run the testing in-house and they can be really expensive though. We use Applause for testing problems and we adore the ‘In-The-Wild’ service. We are provided with huge managing resources by global testers that stimulates the real-world testing.

CONS: Even though the Applause manages the testers, there is a gap between lining up them and receiving the results you want/need. There is a balance between new and glossed over bugs, and runs the risk of being ignorant product vs. providing testers with more in-depth details of the issues, risking test exhaustion and some perspectives. In order to generate the results you need your testers need direction and to maintain close relationship with its project manager so you can be sure that the test-team works perfectly.
