Great News for uTesters

uTesters,

We’ve had a great month at uTest, and we wanted to share with you some of the interesting things that have been happening!

The uTest Forum

Some great discussions are happening on the uTest Forum. If you haven’t checked it out already, make sure you take a look. And don’t forget that we’re giving away prizes every two weeks until the end of October. All you need to do is post in the forum during that two-week period, and you are eligible to win!

Here are a few of the really great discussions going on right now:

• What if there isn't enough time to test the application completely??? – A discussion about what a tester can do when testing in a time crunch.
• Acceptance testing – All about what acceptance testing really means.
• Regression testing and its significance.. – What is regression testing and how is it useful?

Also, congratulations to our last two forum winners! Anju H. won a Gameboy DS on September 5 and Pappu Sunny won a Gameboy DS on September 19. Would you like to win a prize? We’ll pick our next winner on October 3, and we’ll be giving away one of Apple’s gorgeous new iPod Nanos. If you haven’t seen their new look, you should definitely check them out!

Check out the uTest Blog

We’ve got a lot of good stuff appearing on our blog. Make sure you check out some of our great posts:

• Principles of Testing – Based on a great conversation on the forum, we’re doing a series on some of the principles of testing.
• When to Stop Testing: The Customer’s View – Another post based on a great forum topic. When should you stop testing your software?
• Video: Our CEO at Launch Silicon Valley – Watch our CEO, Doron Reuveni, talk about the history of uTest and where we’re headed!

We are always grateful when our community members refer us customers, and as a reminder we have a customer referral program just for you. If you suggest to us a possible customer who then signs up with uTest, we’ll credit your uTester account with $500! There are a few rules, so make sure you check out our Community Referral page for all of the details.

Bug of the Month

Don’t forget our bug of the month contest. Over the month of September, we are looking for the most interesting and compelling bug in any project, and awarding the tester who finds it an iPod Nano! Anyone who submits a bug during September is entered to win, and all you have to do is find a really great bug.

We’ll be evaluating the bugs based on their technical level, complexity, and how accurately and clearly they were reported. The more unusual, complicated, or interesting, the better!

Wrap-up

That’s it for our September newsletter, so as always, happy testing!

Best,
Roy, Stanton, Marshall, and the Rest of the uTest Team
