Presentation Abstract

If you want to make money in business, you have to comply with a set of rules. Three rules require special attention within the context of software testing an e-business solution. Present the benefit of the offering to the customer. Under all circumstances, this presentation must be KISS (keep it simple and stupid), in e-business it must be e-KISS, extremely - KISS. The challenge is usability.

The need for a smooth purchasing process. If you are confronted with a closed shop door or have to queue up longer than expected, you are inclined to look for alternatives. In e-business, the alternative is only one click away. The challenge is availability and performance of the site. Confidence in the transaction and the people involved. You do not give your money to anybody, you do not even accept money from everybody. With e-business you do not have a voice, a face or a reference to check. The challenge is security.

I know that you are already aware of these challenges, but what are you going to do to avoid making a (big) mistake? Having know-how and experience in each of the domains is too much luxury for most companies. Come and talk to us.
