Testing process
What we test for
We assess the 'out of the box' experience.
- We objectively measure the video and audio quality of a product.
- Assess the basic aspects of usability and that the packaging and manual are accurate and helpful.
Who is the certification team?
We are techies and gadget lovers with backgrounds in audio, video, signal processing, design and usability. We have years of experience testing and helping partners improve their Skype solutions.
Rating system
All products that have been Skype Certified will deliver a good Skype experience. Naturally, some are a little better than others. To differentiate these we have used a star rating system.
Impartial product photography
Why take all our own shots?
It's about trust. We take the photos so that you can be sure that what you see is what you'll be getting when it arrives.
