Introducing Myself to the uTest Community
Hello uTesters – allow me to introduce myself. My name is Peter Shih and I recently joined uTest as the Community Manager. My background has been in software product management and engineering, where I worked closely with the QA team and performed the fun task of testing during the critical release phases. I appreciate the passion and skill required to find high-quality bugs in a methodical fashion, so you can imagine how excited I am to be a part of this community.
My primary responsibility at uTest will be to help serve you, the testers. As I watch the number of QA professionals increase each day, I’ve become quite optimistic about the power and the potential of our global community. With more and more releases coming in, there’s a growing demand for top-notch testers in all segments, particularly web and mobile applications. Therefore, I’ll be looking for ways to help testers further sharpen their QA skills, get more work, and of course, make more money through uTest.
Feel free to contact me directly at peters@utest.com with any comments or suggestions about the community, the forums, fresh ideas, etc. Once again, I’m delighted to be joining the uTest team and I look forward to working with you!
Hello Peter,
Nice to see your blog, and I am very happy that now there is someone to whom I can shoot e-mails quoting my queries, concern about bugs, feedback. Untill now it was not specified whom we should contact in case of any help needed. Looking forward to work with you !

Shital

Peter, hi!
I am new at uTest, I’ve been here for a few days and I am a bit confussed. I didn’t find any release available to start testing yet. I guess there are few active projects at the entire uTest, and if we add the filtering according to my profile, nothing is there left for me to start doing someting. I would really like to try, I hope I wont have to wait so long!! (if you have an idea of the average time someone can get on the process, please, let me know so that I set my expectations down). On the other hand, I was thinking maybe all there is available is already taken by the top testers… those who have months on their backs testing for you. What is the space we, the new ones will ever have?
Thank you!!
Sofia
Hi Sofia,
Projects are available to testers whose profile match the project requirements/qualifications. For new testers, the best way to get started is participating in our quarterly Bug Battle competitions (http://www.utest.com/bugbattle).
Since the latest competition just ended recently, you will need to wait for the next available project to start participating with uTest. You can also visit our forums (http://forums.utest.com) to view new project opportunities.
Regards,
Peter
