Do you have questions regarding how we approach crowdsourcing?
What we test
Use the power of the crowd to test your software across a diverse spectrum of devices, environments, and perspectives.
Scalability
Leverage a global network of testers to scale testing efforts instantly, adapting to project demands and resource needs.
Resource exhaustion
Pushing CPU, memory, and network to their limits exposes performance degradation and denial-of-service risks.
Eye-strain testing
Look at visual design elements and interaction patterns to reduce user tiredness.
Cultural sensitivity testing
Use diverse user groups to find potential cultural biases, offensive images, or misleading representations.
Multivariate testing
Look at complex interactions between multiple variables to find the best combinations.
Chaos engineering
Test how well the system can handle failures, auto-healing, and disaster preparedness.
Mobile network emulation
Test mobile app performance under real-world cellular conditions (latency, jitter, packet loss).
Data mutation
Change records in unexpected ways to test the app’s response to data integrity issues.
And other validations like
Localization testing, installation/update testing, and recovery testing.
Crowdsourced testing elevates your product from the controlled lab to the messy reality of everyday use, leading to robust and adaptable solutions.

Shift Left Testing Approach: What It Is and Why It’s Essential in QA
- Nov 8, 2024
Shift Left Testing is all about moving testing further left, as far up the development process as possible. Tight schedules are another favorable factor in testing early and often so that the development process is smoother and of higher quality. Wondering how this approach works and why it’s causing such a massive shift in development practices? Now, let’s look at how Shift Left Testing makes efficiency, quality, and collaboration the focus of software development.
What is Test Observability in Software Testing?
- Nov 4, 2024
In software testing, it is our job to understand how applications behave in their real-world environment. With observability, teams gain a better view: not just detecting issues but understanding why they’re occurring in the first place. In testing observability, unlike traditional monitoring, which typically signals when things go wrong, observability focuses on why and where it happened so the team can optimize system health.
What Is Regression Testing in Agile? Concept, Challenges, and Best Practices
- Oct 25, 2024
Since Agile moves quickly with constant updates, regression testing is a key part of making sure the software stays reliable. With each new update, there’s a risk that changes might impact parts of the software that were already working well. Regression testing reduces that risk by checking that earlier features still work as expected after changes, helping to keep the software stable and dependable as it evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Crowdsourced Software Testing is a testing approach that involves leveraging a diverse group of external testers, often from different geographical locations, to perform testing activities. It differs from traditional testing approaches by harnessing the collective intelligence and diversity of the crowd, enabling faster test execution, broader test coverage, and access to a wide range of devices and environments.
Our crowdsourced testing services cover various testing types, including functional testing, usability testing, performance testing, and compatibility testing. We customize our services to meet the specific needs of clients across industries, ensuring that the crowd is strategically engaged to address diverse testing requirements.
Onboarding and training involve clear documentation, instructional videos, and webinars to familiarize crowd testers with testing objectives, tools, and project-specific requirements. We provide access to a knowledge base and support channels to address queries, ensuring that crowd testers are equipped with the necessary skills and domain knowledge.
Quality assurance involves implementing a comprehensive review process for test results. Testers' contributions are evaluated against predefined criteria, and automated tools may be used for result validation. A feedback loop is established to communicate with testers, providing clarifications and ensuring that the test results meet the required quality standards.
