uTest has started an innovative idea of pay per bug approach. It has tied up with few companies in a pilot program. You can register as software Tester on this site and you will be given an application to test. More number bugs you find more you get paid.
How will it work?
uTest is going to tie up with some companies which don’t have dedicated QA teams and want to outsource their testing work. Such companies can use uTest services and testers community to get their application tested. In return companies will pay some amount to uTest based on the severity and priority of the bug. At the end this amount will be awarded to testers who find these bugs.
Anyone can sign up with uTest to test software’s and make cash for finding bugs. Testers can earn from few hundred to few thousand dollars per month based on experience and performance. The bug pricing will be decided by bug type, type of application and severity of the bug.
What are the benefits?
Good cash benefits for your skills,
Work from anywhere,
Flexible working time (work whenever you want),
And last important benefit: Be your own boss
As per now I think this is win-win condition for customers who don’t have separate QA departments and testers who want to earn some descent cash from their skill and experience.
Presently uTest is running a pilot program only for selected testers and 8 companies are taking part in this program. I have registered myself as a tester and even I got Debit card from uTest but I was not lucky one to get selected in Pilot program. I can't guess anything about the success of utset's approach we can just wait and watch.
Hello, I am starting this blog to share my experience as a software tester. I wish to share the real time challenges in my job and current news about software testing. Thanks!!
