Software Testing Blog

Just a quick post to let you know that uTest was just named a Finalist for “Best New Company of the Year” in the 2009 American Business Awards (a.k.a. Stevies). We’re excited to be recognized by the ABA, especially since our general availability launch was just 10 short months ago!  It’s been a whirlwind run for us during that time:

• Acquired a whole slew of new customers
• Expanded into gaming and mobile app verticals
• Raised $5.2 million in a B round of funding
• Won a bunch of awards
• Launched an entirely new site with new community apps and tester-only forums
• And doubled the size of our team so we can move even faster!

But there’s no time to relax… we’re adding new customers and testers every day, and rolling out new features in our platform.  Plus, there are always more bugs to be squashed and apps to be launched!

One last note on the Stevies — More than 2,600 entries from companies of all shapes, sizes and industries were nominated in more than 40 categories. The finalists that uTest is up against  in the  “Best New Company” category are Aster Data Systems, Carpio, Evolve IP,  HubSpot, Jivox, Mazooma  and  Zuora.  The Stevie Award winners will be announced on June 22 at an event in NYC.  Shoot us a note if you’re going to be in midtown Manhattan, and we’ll see if we can set something up.

Sincere thanks again to our testers from around the globe, and to our customers for your ongoing support.
