It is a rapidly growing trend in the field of software testing which makes use of the inherent efficiency of crowdsourcing and the cloud platform to provide developers with many benefits.
The crowd testers at Outsource2india have delivered projects to leading companies across the globe. Our team of expert software testers works with you to thoroughly understand your requirements, designs a test plan, and then guides the crowd testers to test your software application in a manner that suits your detailed requirements.
Our Managed Crowdsourced Testing Services
Managed crowd testing is very efficient and improves the coverage with respect to device localization, fragmentation, and UX. It also helps the testing activity to remain ahead of schedule. With managed crowd testing, real devices are used on real networks. Managed crowd testing has now become widely used by large and small companies alike as it provides an affordable, wide-reaching testing option for anybody developing software products.
When you outsource your testing to the crowd, you get access to a large set of eyes with a fresh perspective that will report on your project. These fresh eyes bring fresh insights, which is priceless. The fresh perspective means that the crowd testers may also make very useful usability suggestions that could be missed by your in-house team that has been looking at the same product for a very long time.
Crowd testing processes are intended to complement the existing testing procedures and not to replace them. By integrating managed crowd testing into our test processes, we have developed cost-effective methods to provide top-quality software testing. Some of the key services we offer include -

-

-

Unlike other methods of software testing methods, crowdsourced testers are always available on short notices and allow the companies to get the test results within quick turnaround time.

Crowdsourced testers are located across the globe in different time zones due to which they are available at all times of the day, which in turn is extremely beneficial during emergencies and strict deadlines.
-
Multi-platform Testing
When the application is tested by external crowdsourced testers, it is bound to encounter different hardware and software combinations than those you have in-house.
-

In this way, bugs and defects can be found in a much more efficient manner. The bugs and defects can also be rated from low to high severity, allowing your developers to work on the high priority ones first.
-
Load Testing
Managed crowd testing is sometimes referred to as "load testing" because it can also be used to test how the software behaves when it is accessed by multiple users simultaneously. The purpose of load testing is to ensure that the software functions smoothly under real-life load conditions. Load testing usually involves -
- Determining the maximum operating capacity of the software
- Determining whether the present infrastructure is enough to successfully run the software
- Determining whether the software performs well under peak user load
- Determining the number of concurrent users that the software can support and the amount of scalability that is present to allow more users to access the application.
-
Beta Testing
Crowd testing is also sometimes referred to as "Beta Testing" since it is often used to gauge the level of satisfaction of the end-users, which in this case are the testers. Since the testers use the application for an extended period of time, their feedback on the design usability and functionality is invaluable and helps the software developer assess the usefulness of the product.
The reasons for beta testing varies. The marketing manager may focus on the end user's opinion on each feature, while a usability engineer may focus on product usage and ease of use.
