Announcing the Centercode Community Forums
Posted August 25th, 2011 by Adam Wright in Connect. View CommentsWe often hear from beta managers that they’d benefit from a broader sense of community among people who have that job. It’s easy to get information from peers within your company, but what if you want a fresh perspective from other people who have beta management experience? As it turns out, there’s an invisible thread that connects a lot of outgoing and helpful people in this industry—they’re Centercode customers. So we’re helping to spur interaction between them by launching the Connect Community Forums as part of our help.centercode.com site.
We’re happy to announce the release of Centercode Connect 9.4 this week, with customer roll-outs beginning today. In this post, we’ll talk about some of the new features and improvements from this release, including a brand new module called Assigned Test Platforms.

Centercode So Far (2009 Edition)
Posted January 13th, 2010 by Luke Freiler in Connect, Corporate. View CommentsAs part of our internal 2009 year-end review I asked my engineers to run some queries on our entire software platform to illustrate the total impact our software has had on the world so far. These numbers only cover the last 3 or so years, but I believe they’re great fun stats and do a good job showing the effect we’ve had so far.
We’ve just posted a video overview of our Connect Beta Test Management software, which provides a ~10 minute introduction to a Beta/Project Manager perspective of using our product. Connect is an enormous product that was extremely difficult to summarize in such a short time, but we worked hard to pack as much information into as brief a period as possible, while still using a realistic use-case that our potential customers could relate to.
This video includes a quick look at managing various aspects of a beta project including Surveys, Tasks, Feedback (Bugs, Suggestions), Forums, Reports, Knowledge Base, and Users, and can be accessed here:
The New Centercode
Posted October 20th, 2009 by Luke Freiler in Connect, Corporate, Programs. View CommentsMy name is Luke Freiler. I am a co-founder of Centercode, and as of 2009 I have taken on the role of CEO after spending 8 years serving as CTO and leading the design of our beta test management system – Centercode Connect.
So What Does the New Centercode Mean?
For Centercode’s first 7+ years, my co-founder Rich Morgan served as Centercode’s CEO. Rich has a background in finance and operations, and he focused on getting the business established while I concentrated on creating the beta test management system I envisioned. During a discussion in late 2008, we concluded that we needed to refresh our business by broadening the reach of our software and updating our managed beta offering. This provided the perfect circumstance for something we had been discussing for a while – me stepping into the leadership role as CEO.
