Crowdtesting is a method that involves a large group of testers who are not part of the company’s internal QA team. These testers have unique skills and access to various devices. Organizations can engage with these testers through crowdsourcing platforms where they can submit their software or applications for testing. This process helps companies complete their test cycles quickly.
The significant benefits of using crowdtesting include:
Complementing in-house testing, crowdtesting offers effective user acceptance testing, providing real-world usage insights.
Crowdtesters run the software on their devices to see if they can spot any errors, bugs, or areas for improvement. They can be asked to look at the program as a whole or specific aspects such as feature testing, accessibility testing, functional testing, usability testing, etc. People chosen through crowdsourcing will usually have diverse experience, skills, etc., and use diverse devices.
