What is test IO?

test IO’s crowdtesting platform enables agile software development teams to call on the skill and insights of more than 40,000 distributed QA professionals - on-demand - to scale up unbiased QA testing on real devices throughout the development cycle.

Test setup takes minutes, and results arrive is as little as an hour. Tests utilize test IO’s guided exploratory framework that enables significant time compression to get high-quality results vs. traditional methods such as test cases. Simply provide high-level descriptions of your website or app’s features under test and add acceptance criteria or user stories. Upload a staging or production mobile app file or URL. We then securely distribute the test to 50+ testers, who are selected to fit the requirements of your tests.

Structured results arrive in the form of detailed issue reports which include logs, device information, reproductions, and screencasts - and you can export these reports directly into any major bug tracker.

Test IO has proven to be a valuable asset to users by providing a streamlined testing process and delivering faster testing cycles. This integration with Jira has enabled users to experience better testing coverage and real-time reporting. By using test IO, users have been able to efficiently test new website features, perform regression testing, and optimize websites to identify critical bugs. The platform's flexibility through its online portal and scheduled testing allows users to test on various devices and gain valuable user insight. Additionally, users appreciate the ability to test the main parts of a page while performing specific actions, such as ordering. Test IO assists in regression and targeted testing to ensure quality. It helps catch bugs introduced by new features, ensures end-to-end testing for different code repositories and backend services, and addresses time and resource constraints by having multiple testers simultaneously test the app. Moreover, the platform serves as a primary method of regression testing by providing a wide range of devices and tester viewpoints. With Test IO, users can address the lack of QA resources, receive early user feedback, and identify any lingering issues on their websites. This process helps build confidence in the quality of apps and websites before they are released to the public. The platform also provides peace of mind regarding stability by running tests after releases, which has been helpful in finding critical bugs and testing ecommerce platforms. In addition, Test IO offloads a significant amount of the QA work with its testing support for small teams that have limited resources. It helps identify regression bugs, test old features for regression issues, and supports exploratory testing. Users appreciate the quality and real user testing provided by Test IO, as well as its efficiency and time-saving benefits. The platform allows them to identify bugs before product releases by cross-checking on different devices and environments while providing human QA on top of automated testing. Test IO is instrumental in discovering, prioritizing, and fixing problems that impact users' experiences, freeing up internal resources for more complex testing and collaboration with development teams. The platform also aids in exploratory and device testing at scale, allowing users to identify critical issues and maintain QA confidence. By using Test IO, users can map the health of product features, reduce problems reported to customer service teams, and conduct testing that was previously impractical. Furthermore, the platform helps the development team test what was previously challenging and provides confidence in a rapid deployment model. With its bug identification capabilities and suggestions for improving UI/UX experiences, Test IO has significantly improved the efficiency of QA teams and saved them hours of time. Test IO also allows users to add on 10x the amount of testers for regression tests, resulting in excellent value and reducing regression testing time by 80%. This crowd testing approach has streamlined inventory and reduced the need for in-house testing devices. Furthermore, Test IO provides an additional security layer in Quality Assurance by allowing for additional testing before a product goes live. Its testcloud service ensures app compatibility across different devices and software versions, enabling developers to focus on creating instead of testing. Detailed insights into bug causes and locations are provided to engineers when bugs are found by testcloud's testers. Overall, Test IO has proven to be a valuable tool for users in various industries by streamlining the testing process, providing better coverage, and delivering critical insights that lead to improved quality assurance and user experiences.

test IO allows us to test E2E flows that cross multiple of our code repositories and services. It also is using real people to test and catch bugs that we otherwise haven't caught and when code changes happen, we can rely on test IO to ensure the flows are still bug-free.
  • catch bugs
  • test e2e flows
  • accurately report bugs with screenshots and videos
  • honestly, nothing comes to mind - I think it's a great tool
I think it's definitely more of an e2e testing tool versus just testing individual components.
  • e2e testing across multiple code repos and services
  • Catching bugs before customers do
  • Catching bugs during a release
test IO is MUCH easier to set up test cases and because it uses actual humans, it's a better real life tool. Rainforest was too picky on the test cases and you had to be overly specific.
