| Abstract: | Crowdsourcing is becoming more and more important in software design and software development. But how does it affect testing? And what are the effects it has on testers and test managers alike? Crowdtesting is a form of crowdsourcing in which you use (un)known people, the crowd, to test software. In other words crowdtesting is the use of a crowd of people and knowledge when testing software applications. An important difference with traditional testing is that the test focuses on accepting the software instead of finding defects and has a different reward compared to ‘normal’ testing. The crowd tests for you and your company, but how do you get this crowd to do this, why do clients want to use crowds and how do you control this? After listening to this presentation an occupant knows what crowdtesting is and how it can be used. People need to understand the risks when using crowdtesting with confidential and classified software. The presentation will describe three models around crowdtesting, one of them is about managing the crowd, one about the different rewards and the last one about the interaction between companies, users and the product for reasons of crowdtesting. |
