Quick update from the (bug) battlefield: We’re 40 hours into our Q4 Bug Battle competition between Amazon, Walmart.com and Target.com, and we’ve already had almost 200 bugs reported by 60+ testers from around the globe. It’s still early (the competition ends Wednesday, November 11 at 11:59 ET), but this is already shaping up to be one of our best Bug Battles ever.
Bug Battles are available to all members of our community. You can get more details in our uTest-only forums. To participate in the Bug Battle, just sign in to your uTest account.

Tester Community,
uTest by Mike Brown
Long lines, screaming kids, rude employees, rip-off prices, poor selections – all things of holiday’s past. That’s because virtually every major retailer has now set up shop online. But just because holiday shopping can be done from the comfort of one’s own living room, doesn’t mean there aren’t complications (i.e. bugs). To prove our point, we’ve 
decided to make E-tailers the subject of this quarter’s uTest Bug Battle.
Here they are, in no particular order:
Amazon.com
Walmart.com
Target.com
The competition – which kicked off at midnight – will give testers one week to search these sites for the most compelling bugs, and to report them through our online platform. And as usual, we’ll be dishing out more than $3,000 in prize money based on:
- Top overall tester (based on the quality of bugs and feedback)
- Top novice tester (same criteria)
- Top individual bugs in each of the sites (most interesting, most severe, best documented)
- Best survey responses (comparing the feature set, functionality and usability)
