WHAT CAN WE DO?

What are the benefits of outsourcing to Aspyr?
First and foremost, we are central US-based gamers who love what we do! Our tried and tested recruitment, screening, hiring, and development processes ensure that only the most committed, motivated, and technically proficient professionals are here to serve your needs. Our Test, Central Quality Control, Technical Certification, and Compatibility departments have the knowledge, experience, and equipment to handle any platform from PC and Mac, to console and mobile gaming. Every member of our staff started as a tester, where we learned the importance of providing accurate and timely feedback in a courteous and professional manner.

How can Aspyr QA save you money?
On average, Aspyr Quality Assurance can save you up to 60% more than the leading QA outsource providers. QA Testing, Technical Certification, Central Quality Control, and Compatibility teams are essential for complete game testing. By removing the burden of providing personnel, equipment, and a management structure for these teams internally, you'll save more in overhead alone than testing the product yourself. Our process and workflow are structured for maximum efficiency of work with an emphasis on smaller, scalable, and smarter teams. This saves you money, and the quality of our work ensures that the rest of your company has the maximum amount of time to accomplish their goals.

We provide solid structure, not just solid testing.
Through real world, industry tested experience, we have devised our very own Aspyr Media Quality Assurance Process and Workflow that has successfully earned regular first time submission approvals from companies such as EA, Activision, Sony, and Microsoft, just to name a few. Simple, efficient, and absolutely complete, we meet all of our goals with unrivaled accuracy and a constant free flow of information and documentation throughout development. From Pre-Alpha to Gold Master as well as patches and demos, we've got it covered. Should your company have a development or QA process that you're more comfortable using, we're just as adept working within your own process and individual needs. Our teams are smart, flexible, and motivated to see your product succeed.
