We began working with Testled.com in early 2009, when we were approached to assist in developing a web application to conduct online usability tests. As Testled.com were at a pre-revenue stage, we took equity in the business in exchange for our participation. This approach to our partnership meant we were not constrained by a project budget, so we put as much of our time and expertise into Testled.com as the project demanded.
We worked with Testled.com to develop a detailed project specification, covering both the server infrastructure required and user-facing application. Through 2009, 84labs built the platform and the application, and the site entered it's beta phase in late 2009, to excellent reviews and a large amount of interest from the web usability community. Our experience in rapid product development allowed us to quickly iterate through many versions of the application.
The core of Testled.com is built on a fully-owned dedicated server platform, including application, database and media servers. The application itself is written in Django and Flash, using MySQL as a data store, and red5 as a media server, with the media files stored on Amazon S3. This gave Testled.com a combination of scalability and stability, as we fully owned and managed all our core services, while utilising cloud storage.
Testled.com is opening to the public in 2010.

We were looking for a small company with a proven track record in app development to partner with - approaching 84Labs to work with us on Testled.com was a no-brainer. In our business, you're dealing with so many different technologies, and you need someone with a 'can do' attitude that isn't afraid of getting their hands dirty.
