BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - February 18, 2009) - uTest and AutomatedQA announced today that the two companies have formed a strategic partnership to offer a combined package of automated testing and community-based software testing services.

The two companies will develop integrated features and services to enable uTest's community of 14,000+ professional software testers to provide automated software testing via AutomatedQA's TestComplete software. AutomatedQA customers will receive special promotional offers to introduce them to the benefits of community-based functional testing through uTest.

uTest's community of testers will be able to create and sell TestComplete automated tests to complement the exploratory and functional testing that they currently submit through the uTest platform. Software teams will receive even greater testing value by purchasing TestComplete automated tests along with bug reports. This will let uTest's community use TestComplete to document bugs so they can be easily reproduced for immediate correction and automatically tested later to prevent regression.

"Test automation is a critical component of high quality software applications," said uTest CEO, Doron Reuveni. "Our partnership with AutomatedQA will equip our community of professional testers with TestComplete's world-class QA tools. uTest customers will be able to receive even greater testing coverage from the combination of uTest's community-based testing and AutomatedQA's TestComplete."

AutomatedQA will also showcase uTest services to the TestComplete customer base and introduce them to the global testing coverage and cost savings that are available through community-based testing with uTest.

"There is always more software testing to be done and never enough time or people to do it. uTest's community-based testing is an impressive innovation that enables companies to scale their in-house QA on-demand," said AutomatedQA CEO, Derek Langone. "When customers combine uTest's community of QA professionals with TestComplete's easy and affordable automated testing, it is a cost-effective way to supplement their in-house testing, meet deadlines and increase application quality."
