uTest

A terrific idea of bringing top QA professionals from all around the world to a common platform and providing the software companies the much needed support. uTest is a site that provides software testing services to the software companies who are in need. It not only benefits the testers to market their garnered skills but also to the companies who need to pay only per bug.

It is in a way crowdsourced testing platform,which I believe is a superlative effort. Software testing professionals were always in need of such a site that can help them rake moolah with their skills.
Its very easy to sign up, just needs you to create a profile and you are up.
The releases which are according to your requirements will be visible and you can start working almost immediately.

The best thing the I found about this site is that you do not have to bid or wait to interact with the people to whom you are providing the services. You just need to find a genuine bug and get paid for it.

This kind of endeavour is sure to move the internet market a step ahead.

Twist

A Collaborative functional testing platform for software teams - Twist.
The creators of Selenium has introduced a really path breaking platform which is based on the idea that for lasting business value,both the testers and the business professionals should build test suites together.So business people can express their software requirements in the form of executable tests and that too in the language of their own domain.
And for testers,it allows to preserve business intent,control the complexity and increase productivity. I feel Twist is all set to make waves in the software industry and the reason is its wider approach. It is usable by business professionals,developers and testers making all of them responsible for product quality.

What do you guys say?

You can check it out at Twist
