uTest.com - The Software Testing Community

uTest is a global online community for testing software. It provides a central location for virtually connected software testers to link on-demand to companies looking to test their products. This virtualization ensures that companies can quickly upload the software and access testers, who in turn can rapidly review the product and send it back- drastically reducing the time of the traditional testing cycle. uTest also employs a “Pay Per Bug” business model; testers are paid based on the number of flaws they find in the software. These factors combined allow uTest to offer quality and economical alternatives to traditional testing services.

“uTest is revolutionizing traditional software testing by introducing the first global marketplace for software application testing coupled with a Pay Per Bug business model. Companies in need of software QA testing are able to access testers on-demand through the uTest Global Community for the purpose of quality assuring and testing software release prior to market launch.”

uTest combines two innovative concepts- a global marketplace for testers and a Pay Per Bug model. The efficiency and savings realized by this format will likely have companies clamoring to use these services.

Will testers be willing to only receive payments if they find bugs? Will this dissuade more experienced testers from joining the network, thus depriving it of legitimacy?
