Applause’s new Bring Your Own Testers feature combines fully managed service with internal teams for comprehensive test coverage.
“Engineering and QA teams are constantly trying to test and release software builds faster and more frequently. One of the biggest roadblocks to this goal is an organization’s ability to manage all facets and parties involved in testing as the scale increases,” said Doron Reuveni, the founder and CEO of Applause. “Bring Your Own Testers solves this problem by providing the established and trusted Applause Platform as a means to manage both internal and external testing teams.”
The feature provides access to Applause’s fully-managed service, expands testing results and feedback, and makes it easier for organization’s internal teams to start testing and reporting actionable bugs and feedback, according to the company
