uTest - The Software Bug Exterminator

December 30th, 2008 in News, by Head Honcho

For software developers, quality is the key. But however a meticulous a software developer is, functionality or security problems in the software will most likely crop up.

A bug in a software is annoying for the end-users, to say the least. If it’s troublesome enough, word can easily spread around on the net. This is not good new for the software developer, since the software’s bad reputation may just very well be its death knell.

The thing is, finding software bugs is not an easy task. Even the giant Microsoft is deluged with bug complaints whenever they release a new operating system. But because it has a lion’s share of the market, Microsoft can just easily release a service pack fixing the bugs. For the majority of software developers, this alternative may not be available.

For software companies who want to nip the problem in the bud, they can turn to uTest to run the softwares and check for bugs before the big release.

uTest is a marketplace for software application testing - providing software companies with testing services by its community of professional software testers.

In the website’s elevator pitch, it says:

uTest has assembled the first, only, and largest on-demand worldwide pool of professional software testers delivering a full range of testing services: functional, usability, load, and performance testing throughout the product development lifecycle.

For members if its community, uTest provides several perks. They can work whenever they want on any product they prefer and earn significant income at the same time. And by testing yet-to-be-released softwares, they get to check the latest technologies and applications before anyone else.

uTest and its crowdsourcing approach to software testing has reaped satisfied customers. As Yaniv C. of Incredimail says:

With millions of end-users, uTest is the only service that gives us answers in real-time, which is critical in our fast-paced environment.

Here is uTest CEO Doron Reuveni describing how uTest checks its own software - using its own community, of course.
