  • How do I register a domain name
  • How do I establish a web presence
  • How do I accept credit cards online
  • How do I manage my non profit membership

Product Feedback, Evaluation, and Beta Testing

posted Jan 14, 2012 1:18 PM by Douglas Ring ‎(Home)‎   [ updated Jan 14, 2012 2:20 PM ]

Do you have an existing or newly developed product, service, web site, application, requiring usability testing?  You're in luck!  I enjoy testing the latest gadget, service, software package, etc.  I will beta test your product/service and provide feedback on user interface, navigation, usability, functionality, etc.  I'm available to review your instructions or other written materials to ensure they make sense to your target audience.  If English is not your primary language, I can also review your documentation for proper grammar.

Send me a message and let me know exactly what kind of testing you are looking for, when you need the testing conducted, etc.  If you or your product/service compete with AT&T then I will be unable to evaluate.

Areas I enjoy testing or reviewing:

Wireless Technology - WiFi, Cellular, Satellite, RF - Radio
Portable Technology - Laptop, GPS, Night Vision, Tablets, GPS Tracking
Routing/IP - Home Routers, Bridges, Repeaters
Home or Small Office Printers and Scanners

Financial Web Sites - Micro lending, Personal Finance
Training Web Sites

Software packages - Non Gaming
Can test on Windows 7 or Mac OS X
