I’ve been doing development work for an online brokerage for 5 years, and my own startup the past 3. For me, development is fun and exciting. However, QA software testing is a nightmare.
Perhaps internet bandwidth and the ability to patch software made QA less important than years ago? However, just because the rules are more relaxed doesn’t mean it doesn’t impact corporate image in a very bad way every time somebody finds fault with your software or website.
Developers hate to do QA. Number one, just like writing, you don’t see your own typos. Two, the combination of hardware, OS, browser makes the testing process exponentially lengthy.
Now what if you can tap into the power of the internet to do QA for you? Thereby testing virtually all software/hardware combos? Well you can, and the key is that you can set your own incentive!
Pay4Bugs.com has created a cutting edge online platform that enables developers of every size to lower software QA costs. Upload details regarding your project, be it an executable or website, name your bug price, and let the community of testers work for you.
Want to find all typos on your website? Put up an reward for $0.10 a bug. What about broken links? Create a separate assignment at $0.15. Got a big project brewing at your company? Set bugs at $5 each and watch the community take on it aggressively!
There’s no cost to signup, you can even post free projects at $0 bug value. Some testers are simply kind at heart, I guess.
