Announcing the Q4 Bug Battle: Specialty E-Tailers

You know how every neighborhood has that one crazy lady who starts the holiday season a little too early (like before Halloween)? Well, this time it’s us.

With the holiday shopping season right around the corner, we simply couldn’t wait any longer to kick off our latest bug-hunting competition.

At this time last year, you may recall that the Bug Battle focused on the giants of online retail. This year, as a special twist, we’ve decided to focus on specialty e-tailers. With literally thousands to choose from, we ended up going with eBay, Overstock and Zappos - three of the most revolutionary companies in the auction, overstock and traditional e-shopping spaces.

The Bug Battle gets started this Friday, October 29 at noon (ET). Testers will be given ten days (until Monday, November 8 at noon) to search these applications for the most compelling bugs, and to report them through our online platform. We’ll be awarding nearly $4,000 in prize money for categories like Top Tester, Best Bug, Best Survey Feedback (survey runs November 8-10), Best Mobile Bug and more.

More details on this Bug Battle – as well as the rules, prizes and deadlines – can be found in the uTest Forums. Of course, we’ll be providing frequent updates via the uTest blog, as well as through Twitter and Facebook.

This competition is available ONLY to members of the uTest community. If you would like to become a member, sign up here.

Happy testing!
