Lahti Stockholm
Oslo
14 tests! 700+
test users!
Traditional type of testing is done either in a laboratory or with a finalized product after r&d.
The new way of testing is doing in real environments with real users. Testing is a central method of development throughout the process, starting from the very early phases.
What is testing?
1. Because with complex new issues, you can not plan
2. Because it is the end-users who decide if the product is good or not
3. Because testing makes you fast
4. Because testing helps you to convince your partners and investors that you have something that is more than an idea
Why is testing necessary?

USER PERSPECTIVE
”I was astonished by how smoothly and accurately the delivery worked. This is like made for me I thought!
I didn’t use the phone order option though, I think it’s easier online where you can see things.
Drivers even offered to put the shopping in place in the kitchen!”
