It’s Bug Battle Time: Facebook vs. LinkedIn vs. MySpace

In Q4, we held our first-ever Bug Battle — the “Battle of the Browsers”.  This QA contest yielded 672 bugs within IE, Firefox, and Chrome.  1,300+ testers participated and uTest awarded nearly $3,000 in prize money.  Now it’s time for our next Bug Battle challenge.

After a great deal of discussion with bloggers, analysts and members of our testing community, we’ve selected a fun and high-profile “battleground”:  Social networking sites.

Join other uTesters from around the world in testing the application quality and usability of the top three social networks:  Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace.

The contest begins Wednesday, Feb 11th and runs through Tuesday, Feb 17th.  uTest will once again be awarding $3,000 in prize money for:

  • Top overall tester (based on quantity and quality of bugs and feedback)
  • Top novice tester (same criteria)
  • Top individual bugs in each of the sites (highest profile, most interesting, most severe)
  • Best feedback (about the feature set, functionality and usability)

See complete details for the uTest Social Networking Bug Battle.  Get ready to hunt some bugs, make some serious money, and be recognized as one of the top testers in the community!

    The Social Networking Bug Battle can be done on ANY of the mainstream browsers (IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc).

    Anything in the Facebook, LinkedIn or MySpace platform is fair game for this Bug Battle (not the outside applications that have been built by other companies). Happy hunting, uTesters!

    We’re doing the judging over the next two weeks. We’ll be announcing the winners and the overall results of this Bug Battle to the public during the week of March 16.

    Also, we’ll be pre-announcing the prize winners before this public announcement to our Twitter followers, and members of our LinkedIn Group or our Facebook Group.
