6:30pm - 8:30pm, Beyond 5 stars -- Quantify quality by leveraging app users, by Jason Arbon
Appstores for mobile, desktop, and web apps offer a treasure of new data to be mined for quality and testing. Do you know if your app is to slow? Crashes more than your competitors? Do users think your UI is beautiful? Its a new opportunity to finally quantify quality, trend it, compare with your competitions apps, and get insight into what customers are saying about your app. We’ll walk through great apps, see why the same app is loved on one platform, but horrible when ported to another, fun insights into the minds of reviewers, and how to leverage this data to affect change in your team and your app. Whether we like it or not, appstore data now defines the perception of quality for customers and your team.
