uTest is a community and marketplace for software testing, or Quality Assurance (QA). Companies can use the service to manage their QA cycles and recruit testers in the community to test their products. The QA management platform is free to use, however companies do need to pay for the testers on a pay-per-bug system. The testing platform features include test case management tools, real-time information on logged bugs and defects, and statistical information on release maturity level.
