Bug Battle: A Software Testing Competition

The uTest Bug Battle is a quarterly software testing competition, open to every member of our global QA community. Over the course of a week, hundreds of testers from around the world compete to find the most compelling bugs in various web, mobile, gaming and desktop applications.
Update: In our latest Bug Battle, testers competed to find bugs in five of the top Twitter applications. To learn more about our latest Bug Battle, click here.
Once the competition is over, testers fill out a detailed survey, ranking each app in terms usability and intuitiveness. From there, a panel of uTest judges evaluate each submission, and awards prizes in the following categories:
- Top overall tester
- Top novice tester
- Top US tester
- Top bugs
- Best feedback
Here's a recap of our first two uTest Bug Battles:
Battle of the Social Networks - We asked our testers to evaluate Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn.
Battle of the Browsers - In our first Bug Battle, our testers evaluated the beta versions of IE 8, Firefox 3.1, and Google Chrome.
If you have questions, of if you'd like to suggest a software application for future Bug Battles, be sure to let us know.
