Description
uTest is an online free community for freelance software testers. Its focus is on helping big brands test their digital products, for example, a digital platform or app. As a freelancer, you don't need to pay any membership, instead, you earn money in uTest by testing others' products.
Another benefit is that you don't need to have experience as a tester to be part of the community. The method is very simple. uTest invite you to participate in different projects that match your profile. All you need to do is to check the requirements or skills set required by the company/brand and apply. You will receive your pay on a project-to-project basis. The most common projects are related to software testing. However, there are others that require going to the real world and giving your opinion about different products.
In the projects section, you will find suggested projects according to your profile, all projects, and urgent projects. Don't forget the code of conduct, which gives straight rules on how to behave while using the platform. For instance, you are not allowed to share information about the brands or projects you work on, as it's confidential.
