uTest on How Crowdsourcing Helps Companies Test Mobile Apps at SIC 2009

CEO and Co-Founder Doron Reuveni to Present at Leading Software Industry Event in Mobile Platforms Track

uTest, the world’s largest software testing marketplace, today announced that CEO Doron Reuveni will present at the Software Industry Conference (SIC) in Boston, MA on July 16th at 2:15pm (Track B) on “Crowdsourcing Your Way Through the Mobile World.”

In the increasingly competitive world of mobile applications, getting to market quickly and app quality can make or break the success of a company. What has worked in the past in terms of testing applications (an in-house QA team or an outsourcing firm) is not conducive to the mobile world. Companies must test their software across multiple locations, languages, carriers, handsets, platforms and a host of other criteria.

This calls for a new, revamped testing model – crowdsourcing. In this session, Doron Reuveni will examine the growing trend of crowdsourced software testing for mobile apps – highlighting its benefits, challenges and uses as compared with conventional QA options.

“With new apps for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and others battling for media attention and consumer dollars, the pressure to get apps built, tested and launched quickly has never been greater,” said Doron Reuveni, uTest CEO. “When users are dispersed across the globe, your testers should be too. With crowdsourcing, any company that develops mobile apps can have world-class testing coverage.”

SIC will be held this year at the Boston Marriott Quincy from July 16-18, 2009.
