Intuit QuickBooks Technical Review - FAQ
Intertek is an independent testing company chosen by Intuit to execute the QuickBooks Technical Review. All program specifics, including processes, test design, and program design, have been approved and are enforced by Intuit.
The QuickBooks Technical Review Program is designed to give the QuickBooks developer community the mechanism to ensure their applications meets the high quality standard of operation and compatibility expected by the customers. The purpose of the testing is to verify that 3rd Party applications appropriately integrate, exchange data, and are compatible with the QuickBooks platform.
Quickbooks is in the process of re-launching and will be establishing new membership levels in the coming months. Applications that have successfully completed the QuickBooks Technical Review Program will be awarded Silver level membership upon completion as soon as Quickbooks has re-launched. Those applications that pass the QuickBooks Technical Review Program will be granted benefits such as the ability to submit applications to the QuickBooks Solutions Marketplace. Passing the QuickBooks Technical Review is not a Full Product Quality Assurance guarantee. Interteks' test engineering service is to ensure that your product meets a set of Intuit compliance standards, and that your products' stability is adequate throughout the compliance tests.
