executives across the country participated in the judging process.
uTest won the honor over a field of worthy and established finalists,

employees and more than 17,000 professional software testers in our
community."

"Crowdsourcing is the future of software testing," said Reuveni, "and uTest
is leading the way in this space. The uTest platform is the vehicle through
which companies can tap into the global community of testing professionals
to launch higher quality applications, get to market faster, and
dramatically reduce their QA costs."
