On-Demand Software Testing Company Develops New Business Model that Helps Customers Thrive During Economic Downturn


Austin, Texas, Feb 03, 2009 (PRNewsChannel.com via COMTEX) --
As the recession reaches more and more companies each day, Austin-based TESTCo, a premier On-Demand Software Testing company, has restructured the way it does business in order to accommodate small businesses at an economic crossroads facing layoffs and tighter cash flow, the company announced today.



With innovations like On-Demand Software Testing, TESTCo has streamlined its testing process to meet the needs of fast moving businesses and companies that find themselves with too few people to complete their software projects on time. Now, instead of taking two weeks to create a solid team of testers, it takes only one day.

That has allowed the On-Demand Software Testing company to slice what used to be a two month testing process down to just five days.


The weakening economy has put enormous pressures on businesses to do more, faster with even less, says Jeff Hotz, president and CEO of TESTCo. For us, it was a wakeup call to see what needed to be done differently to make a difference for more businesses, and amazingly, it has helped us and our clients thrive.

Now, the On-Demand Software Testing company is also catering to businesses other than software companies with needs that didnt seem to exist before. Hotz says he noticed that businesses needed to move quickly to cut expenses, generate revenue and create cash flow, so he adapted to the economic environment and created a different business model.

Success in this market requires that we get money moving again and our clients cant afford to have their customers wait. With our new offering, were able to immediately be part of the solution, says Hotz.

As TESTCo found a new niche in its industry, the company also realized there was a growing base of non-software companies creating software. Hotz cites a recent client like New York Magazine. The publication, just like many media outlets, uses customized software to provide online access and information for their subscribers. The magazine turned to TESTCo for its On-Demand Software Testing abilities when it needed to increase the pace at which it builds and releases new business capabilities.

TESTCo was crucial to meeting our project goals and deadlines, says Apaar Trivedi, senior software engineer for New York Magazine. Even though I was too busy to provide proper direction to the testing team, they were able to get started on their own, create test plans based on what I wanted and deliver results from day one. As the testing needs of the project grew, TESTCo was easily able to grow with us.

Even in the current struggling economic environment, TESTCo continues to grow as a business itself.
The Austin Business Journal recently honored the On-Demand Software Testing company with the distinction of being one of its Fast 50 companies based on the companys astounding 241% revenue growth from 2005-2007.

Changing with the demands of an ever-changing economic climate has been one of our best moves, yet. Our On-Demand Software Testing now costs less, requires fewer people and provides real value the very first day, says Hotz.
