Key Market Insights
Application crowdtesting is a form of software testing that involves the evaluation and assessment of the quality and performance of software applications by a diverse group of testers, referred to as a crowd. It leverages a global pool of testers from diverse backgrounds who can provide valuable feedback from various perspectives, across multiple devices and platforms. The crowd-testing process begins with defining the scope and objectives of testing, followed by the creation of test cases and scenarios. These test cases are then made available to testers who execute them using a variety of hardware, operating systems, and network configurations. One of the critical challenges is the increasing complexity and diversity of software applications across different platforms, devices, and operating systems.
Growing Demand for Application Crowdtesting Services
Organizations are facing challenges in ensuring the quality and interoperability of their applications across these diverse factors, driven by rapid technological advancements. Crowdtesting services provide access to a vast community of testers using various hardware, operating systems, and network configurations, facilitating comprehensive real-world testing. The need for fast, scalable, and adaptable testing is another driving factor. Traditional in-house testing teams may face limitations in terms of resources, equipment, and time. Lack of control over the testing environment and tester credentials can impact the consistency and reliability of results.
Scaling Software Quality Assurance for Enhanced Customer Experience
The rapid digitalization of businesses over the past two decades has led to increased technology adoption. With the proliferation of digital products and services, the diversity of digital goods and services is also expanding. In 2016, there were more than 24,000 different Android devices alone. Companies are exploring practical and rational approaches to test their applications across all potential configurations of mobile devices and operating systems to deliver the best User Experience (UX). They are investing in advanced end-user testing solutions like application crowdtesting services to reduce the need for feature-rich, customer-focused product offerings. This product selection has become critical in determining the success of a product.
Swift Growth of IoT (Internet of Things)
IoT is a vital component of digital transformation and has given rise to numerous end-user applications. According to the Ericsson Mobility Report (2021), by 2027, 51% of cellular IoT connections will consist of massive IoT. As the world becomes more interconnected, the number of companies offering IoT testing services is also increasing. IoT solutions require extensive user engagement with customers and other IoT products and solutions. Due to this rapid growth, many IoT devices require more significant user involvement.
Application crowdtesting services can effectively conduct system testing for IoT solutions. It can address the challenges associated with multiple IoT connections, making it a valuable tool for IoT solutions. With the exponential growth of IoT devices, there is a significant market opportunity for application crowdtesting services companies.
Diverse Testing Expertise Driving Market Growth
The application crowdtesting services market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by several factors that have reshaped the software testing landscape. Application crowdtesting services involve the practice of assigning tasks to a diverse group of testers, often from different geographical locations, to assess software applications across a range of devices and scenarios.
These services provide access to a large pool of testers with diverse backgrounds and expertise, ensuring comprehensive test coverage and enabling the discovery of defects and usability issues that in-house testing teams may overlook. Market participants are actively exploring innovative solutions to enhance clients digital experiences. For example, in February 2021, Applause App Quality, Inc. introduced the Product Excellence Platform (PEP), allowing businesses to access digital testing tools and specialists.
Overview of Key Segments
Cloud-based Services in High Demand
