I expect, like most companies marketing their wares on the web we have become slightly obsessed, perhaps even unhealthily obsessed, with the number of visitors turning up at our web site each month. After all, like many companies now, the success of our business depends on the sales we make from people visiting our web site. So this isn’t an insignificant point on which to become obsessed.
So it was with some degree of excitement that we saw this month’s web traffic almost double. The subsequent level of curiosity surrounding this turned up a slightly unexpected reason for this doubling of traffic. As it turns out a company that, some time back now, implemented QaTraq have been awarded the CNET ‘Best Of CES’ award in the Emerging Technology category. The resulting increase in traffic that Bug Labs were seeing was cascading down to us as well.
When test teams contact us about our test tools there is always a certain amount of curiosity around what sort of business the company is involved with. In the UK some would use the term being nosey but we like to think of it as curiosity. With Bug Labs though that curiosity was further aroused when we spent time looking at their web site. You will see what I mean if you take a look at http://www.buglabs.net/.
Anyway, we got them up and running with QaTraq in order to help them manage their test process but the intrigue remained for many months following that as their product continued to develop. I think it would be fair to say now though that we are just as excited, as many others are, about what it is that they have created.
We were even more excited earlier this month to see them win the CNET award for ‘Best Of CES’ in the Emerging Technology category. Not only are we elated to see a company that uses our product win this award but we are genuinely thrilled to see this teams vision come to fruition having followed their progress over the last year. Congratulations Bug Labs!
