We buy crowdtesting to reach real devices in the field. Is a device lab the same promise?

The two conditions count different things. Crowdtesting at scale is met when the crowdtesting engagement model is offered and a tester pool of 10,000 people or more is published with a source. Device lab coverage is met when a device lab of 100 real devices or more is published with a source. One counts people who own the devices, the other counts devices the vendor owns. A single alternative carries the device lab tag, so a buyer swapping a crowd for a lab has one published option to read.

Our product is a car. Has anyone published a case about automotive testing?

UNGUESS has, in a bug hunting and customer feedback test run for a tyre manufacturer. No case published by the eight alternatives sits in automotive at all. Their published cases run through travel, ecommerce, fintech, gaming, media, healthcare, real estate and telecom instead. An absent case records only that no automotive account was published for that company. The one automotive account here belongs to the company being replaced.

What do the published cases actually measure, and does the difference matter when we compare them?

Almost every published case among the alternatives attaches a number to the work. One reports regression cycle time falling from weeks to two days or less. One reports a 15 percent drop in customer-reported issues. One reports 1.34 million US dollars of estimated annual savings across thirteen streaming platforms. One reports 400 community testers running tests in more than 60 countries. UNGUESS's own published case names no measured result of any kind, so the comparison here is between accounts with a figure and an account without one.

The companies

A company is listed here when it meets at least one of the same applicability conditions as the company at the top of the page. Those conditions are computed from published fields, so the list changes when the fields change and never because somebody paid for a place in it.

Field by field

The order is by the number of applicability conditions a company shares with the company at the top of the page, then by the number of verified reviews it has on external review platforms, then alphabetically by name. No position here is paid for and none of it is an editorial score.

No company in this table has a value recorded for these fields: Onboarding. Those cells are empty because no source recorded the value, and an empty cell is not a statement that the company lacks the property.

Headquarters spread across five countries, none matching UNGUESS's own

UNGUESS is headquartered in Italy. None of the eight candidates on this page share that headquarters country. Their eight headquarters spread across five other countries instead: three in the United States, two in Poland, and one each in the United Kingdom, Sweden and Ireland. A buyer whose requirement is a same-country headquarters for contracting or support purposes finds no match among the eight, only a spread across a different set of countries.

One engagement model for UNGUESS, six others named among the eight

UNGUESS lists one engagement model in its own profile, crowdtesting. Seven of the eight candidates publish at least one engagement model of their own; the remaining candidate lists none. Three of the eight list crowdtesting among their models, the same model UNGUESS uses. Across the eight, six other engagement models appear at least once, each under this catalog's own label: Project work, Continuous testing program, Managed testing service, On-demand testing, Staff augmentation and Dedicated team. Managed testing service is the most common of the six, on three of the eight. A buyer whose requirement is one of those six models finds it named among the candidates, while UNGUESS's own profile lists crowdtesting alone.

Named clients and client stage across the eight

UNGUESS names five clients in its own profile. Seven of the eight candidates name at least one client of their own; the remaining candidate names none. Separately, four of the eight publish which client stage they serve, such as startup, scaleup or enterprise buyers. UNGUESS's own profile does not state a client stage focus, so this page cannot say whether its work concentrates on any one stage of company.

A GDPR data processing agreement, and the one candidate that matches it

UNGUESS confirms a GDPR data processing agreement in its own profile. Its profile carries no confirmed business associate agreement for HIPAA-covered work. Among the eight candidates, one confirms a GDPR data processing agreement of its own; none confirms a business associate agreement. A client whose work is HIPAA-covered therefore reads the same blank on every one of the nine profiles here, and confirming that agreement stays a question for the vendor rather than a criterion this page can settle.

Questions

We buy crowdtesting to reach real devices in the field. Is a device lab the same promise?: The two conditions count different things. Crowdtesting at scale is met when the crowdtesting engagement model is offered and a tester pool of 10,000 people or more is published with a source. Device lab coverage is met when a device lab of 100 real devices or more is published with a source. One counts people who own the devices, the other counts devices the vendor owns. A single alternative carries the device lab tag, so a buyer swapping a crowd for a lab has one published option to read.

No case published by the eight alternatives sits in automotive at all. Their published cases run through travel, ecommerce, fintech, gaming, media, healthcare, real estate and telecom instead. An absent case records only that no automotive account was published for that company. The one automotive account here belongs to the company being replaced.

One reports 1.34 million US dollars of estimated annual savings across thirteen streaming platforms. One reports 400 community testers running tests in more than 60 countries. UNGUESS's own published case names no measured result of any kind, so the comparison here is between accounts with a figure and an account without one.

The rule behind this list and the basis of its order are on the methodology page. Every fact about a company comes from a listed source. A field without a source stays empty. A certificate counts as confirmed only when a registry, certificate or auditor report backs it; a certificate the company only claims about itself is published separately, under that label. Vendors can request a correction at hello@qa-rating.com. A correction is applied when it comes with a public source.
