Case Study: Google

Global power Google taps into the crowd
to augment its in-house testing resources
– Challenge:
   - Google’s top tech execs sought to scale their testing to keep up with their world-class
     dev teams. At the same time, they wanted to ensure their testing had real-world
     relevance to their end-users’ experience.
– Strategy:
   - Having invested heavily in outsourcing, in-house resources and automated testing,
     Google needed a better, more scalable approach to in-the-wild testing.
   - Google explored a wide variety of alternatives and found uTest.
– Results:
   - After an extensive pilot project, Google expanded its use of uTest to 18+ web,
     desktop and mobile apps; now leverages uTest broadly and frequently.
   - As Google ramped up, uTest put a person on site full-time and is now a critical piece
     of Google’s overall testing equation

                                                                                      | 10
