Is your software ready for Windows Vista? Windows Vista is being touted
as the next generation in PC operating systems. Testing your products for Vista compatibility
is an absolute must, period. Beta Breakers will help you accomplish this goal.
Of course, the release of Microsoft's Windows Vista makes things more challenging
from a compatibility testing perspective. In most cases, you still need concern yourself
with the wide variety of other operating systems such as Windows XP, 2000, NT and ME.
Even Windows 98 still has a place in some areas of the marketplace. Add to that Mac and
Linux and you can appreciate that hiring a competent resource to test your software is
paramount to your success.
Testing for software and hardware compatibility is where Beta Breakers really
shines. We have five distinct labs within our office. Each is separate, secure and
equipped with a wide range of hardware, driver versions, operating systems, browser versions and third-party software. Plainly speaking, if you need to know if your product is compatible with the world's
technology, you can do no better than Beta Breakers. With all of the equipment at our
disposal, our engineers are more than qualified to take your product and distribute it
across every browser, operating system and platform that meets minimum specifications.
As issues are uncovered, BetaBugs tracks them. You will have secure access to them online
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Fixes can be tracked in real time.
Please take it from us.
The world is not the place for testing your software for system compatibility. Hire Beta
Breakers and know for a fact that, once launched, your software will function virtually
everywhere. You are welcome to provide us with your requests for a comprehensive compatibility
sweep or you can trust our testing experts to create a compatibility matrix for you.
Purpose
The purpose of compatibility testing is to reveal issues related to
the product’s interaction with other software (operating systems,
browsers, installed applications…) as well as hardware (video
cards, sound cards, processors…).
Methodology
Beta Breakers evaluates product compatibility by first identifying
the hardware/software/browser components that the product is designed
to support. Beta Breakers then designs a hardware/software/browser
matrix that indicates the configurations on which the product will
be tested. Then, with input from the client, Beta Breakers designs
a testing script that will be sufficient to evaluate compatibility
between the product and the hardware/software/browser matrix. Finally,
the script is executed against the matrix, and any anomalies are investigated
to determine exactly where the incompatibility lies.

Again, these days, cost is more of a concern. Our labs are
so organized and our internal compatibility testing methodologies have been so streamlined that we
have become very cost-effective. Most of our clients are pleasantly surprised to discover that we
can usually provide effective coverage for as little as $3,000 - $4,000. Contact us
and we will surprise you with our highly competitive service rates.
