Book description

Its scale, flexibility, cost effectiveness, and fast turnaround are just a few reasons why crowdsourced testing has been getting so much attention lately. While there are a few online resources that explain what crowdsourced testing is all about, there's been a need for a book that covers best practices, case studies, and the future of this technique. Filling this need, this book will help readers leverage the wisdom of the crowd in their software testing. Its comprehensive coverage includes the history of crowdsourcing and crowdsourced testing, implementation practices, career options and future trends.
