BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - January 26, 2010) - uTest, the world's largest
software testing marketplace, and
TCL, a
leading UK software testing consultancy, today announced an expanded
partnership to bring on-demand software testing to the UK. The partnership
enables TCL to leverage uTest's community of 22,000 professional testers
from 163 countries around the globe, providing its customers with a
cost-effective way to test their web, desktop and
mobile
applications.
The pilot program between uTest and TCL was launched in March 2009 and is
already in active use by a number of organizations, including leading UK
online retailer,
Iwantoneofthose.com, and
specialist government agency, the
Met Office. uTest enables TCL to
build an on-demand testing team for its clients, based on their testing
requirements, such as location, language, operating system and browser.
They then get real-time bug reporting and application feedback from uTest's
community of testers.
"Rather than using costly, long-term contractors, uTest's on-demand model
enables real-world testing that can reduce test cycles from weeks to as
little as 2-3 days," said Stewart Noakes, Co-founder and Chairman of TCL.
"This enables software companies to reduce the total cost of testing and
launch desktop, mobile and web applications more quickly."
"TCL offers a wealth of experience in the UK software testing space, as
well as an established track record of excellent service and an impressive
roster of clients," said uTest CEO, Doron Reuveni. "uTest is excited to
expand our partnership with TCL and to offer world-class software testing
services to UK-based companies."
