Mobile application developers who need professional quality-assurance (QA) services can take advantage of uTest, which comprises 14,000 professional testers from 150 countries. This software testing marketplace provides comprehensive testing coverage based on location, language, handset manufacturer, wireless carrier, operating system, and other factors, enabling developers to bring their applications to market faster, according to the company.

1Cast, the broadcast platform that delivers up-to-the-minute news video on the desktop and smart-phone platforms such as the iPhone and Android, has been working with uTest for the past few months and has already seen the benefits of using a crowd-sourced QA team, according to uTest. 1Cast’s latest smart-phone application was delivered on schedule and budget, and it was met with positive reviews from the mobile community, uTest says.

While the mobile application space is growing exponentially in popularity and level of competition, many of the standards that exist in Web development don’t yet exist in mobile, says Doron Reuveni, CEO and cofounder of uTest. “The number of testing permutations across handset makers, carriers, operating systems, browsers, and locations is mind-boggling, but uTest works closely with these companies to help them bring their mobile apps to market faster and bug-free, Reuveni adds.

The uTest community provides real-time access to testers with a wide range of locations, languages, and platforms, which is specifically important to mobile application developers, since having many unique dimensions in a testing matrix is a reality (and a daunting task) for mobile developers. Its crowd-sourced testing environment allows for developers to gain a competitive advantage.
