uTest Puts a Human Face on Crowdsourced Testing with Community-centric Apps

Crowdsourced QA Leader Introduces “Meet Our Testers” Application, Community Forum, and Rebranded Interactive Website

uTest, the world’s largest software testing marketplace, today launched a new website that increases visibility into its global testing community and enhances collaboration and information sharing among QA professionals.

The new site introduces a “Meet Our Testers” application featuring an interactive global map; a Community Forum enabling 16,000+ testers to share ideas and best practices; and a complete website redesign highlighting the human face of software testing. Visitors can now access an unprecedented amount of information about testers and testing best practices.

“Collaboration has always been critical to successful software testing, as the process often involves multiple teams and multiple projects,” said Doron Reuveni, CEO of uTest. “With the social web, geographic barriers no longer constrain us from working effectively with a team – whether it’s based in Boston, Berlin, Bangalore or dispersed among all three. uTest is excited to further extend our leadership in human software testing by facilitating the free exchange of ideas.”
