In contrast to crowd testing, traditional software testing options cost you a hefty price. An added advantage here is that you pay only for outcomes that are produced.
That is, you pay only for the bugs found or for the test cases executed. This ensures that the system is transparent, that and you know exactly what you are paying for. Clients also get the option to test in various geographies, on different devices, platforms, ms, and other variables as per their needs.
We let them prioritize the features that they want to test and give them full control over the process. While clients on the platform enjoy the benefit of fast and economical testing solutions, testers get the chance to hone their skills and earn through paid projects from anywhere in the world.
