Crowdsourced Testing

Crowdsourced testing is an emerging trend in the field of software testing. It is an approach which involves different people with different backgrounds across the globe in testing process…!

What to do while crowdsourcing the testing ▪ Detailed Crowd Recruitment Policy Crowdsourced testing is all about hiring the right set of people to do the job. Scouting for right talent and having a good pool of testers requires having good recruitment policy in place. There has to be a wide spectrum of people and right fit can be identified based on mix and match of the requirements like demographics and technical setup. One factor to consider is response rate of the tester based on previous interactions. Sometimes, a tester may not respond well in time, thus delaying the whole process. Such testers should not be considered for time critical projects.

What to avoid while crowdsourcing the testing ▪ Do not select Random Testers Do not select testers randomly. Any cost cutting in hiring the tester may have a direct consequence on the quality of testing.

▪ Do not undermine the reported bugs

▪ Crowdsourcing adds an extra dimension to the quality process of the organization by facilitating feature regression testing or exploratory testing. Hence, it is important to keep in mind the best practices involved to maximize the benefits for all the stakeholders involved.

▪ Webomates offers a regression testing service that uses crowdsource, manual , automation and artificial intelligence testing together to guarantee all test cases (even modified ones) are executed in ONE day with exploratory testing, generating a list of prioritized defects for software teams to review and fix.
