QA on Request Launches New Crowdsourced Testing Platform, Enters Wayra
Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) May 30, 2013
Montreal startup QA on Request announces that it has launched a new crowdsourced testing platform and entered Wayra, Telefonica’s global accelerator.
Wayra provides selected startups with $ 50,000 in financing, as well as technical and managerial support. The news comes as QA on Request closes the chapter on its six-month participation in Start-Up Chile, a similar initiative funded by the Chilean government.
“Telefonica obviously selects companies with very high growth potential, but specifically companies developing innovative solutions that can cater to its partners in Europe and Latin America” says Simon Papineau, the company’s CEO. “We are very optimistic about the business possibilities resulting of our participation in Wayra.”
Crowdsourced testing: innovation in software testing
QA on Request has recently launched a crowdsourcing platform dedicated to software testing known as the Crowdsourced Testing company.
“Software testing is a pain for developers” explains Papineau, the company’s 29 years old founder. “It is time-consuming, difficult to manage and highly irregular. The industry was in dire need of innovation.”
The young founder certainly knows what he is talking about: at 23, he managed one of Gameloft’s video game development studios in Argentina. He later co-founded we+are interactive, a web and mobile development company known for its work on Radio-Canada’s Tou.tv Android application, SidLee’s website in HTML5 and several award-winning websites such as Du Big Bang au Vivant, based on the documentary with Hubert Reeves.
“Our crowdsourced software testing platform helps developers streamline their quality assurance testing process while expanding the number of devices and operating systems that their products are tested on. It is truly a breath of fresh air in an industry facing many challenges related to software testing due to the growing number of internet-ready devices in the world.”
