How Clouds, Crowds and Communities are Changing the Game
By Roy Solomon, VP of Product and Co-Founder of uTest

In this highly competitive world of modern applications , the pressure to get high-quality apps built, tested and launched quickly has never been greater. But traditional testing methods (in-house testing, offshore testing firms, emulators/simulators, beta testers etc.) have fallen short of meeting these demands. The testing matrices have become far too complex. Companies must test their apps across OS, browsers, location, handset makers/models and wireless carriers.

This unmet challenge calls for a new approach - crowdsourcing. Real-world, ‘in-the-wild’ software testing meets the demands of today’s complex quality challenges. Using a crowdsourcing model, companies of all sizes can get their web, desktop and mobile apps tested through a skilled and diverse community of professional testers. Since app users are distributed around the globe - under ‘in-the-wild’ conditions - app testers should be too. Benefits include increased application quality, faster time to market and dramatically reduced testing costs.

uTest is the world’s largest marketplace for software testing services. The company provides real-world testing services through its community of 30,000+ professional testers from 168 countries around the world. More than 1,000 companies - from startups to global software enterprises - have joined the uTest marketplace to get their web, desktop and mobile applications tested.
