The Crowd helps improving the Software: Testing the Generali Mobility App

The test consisted of three consecutive parts: first, the participants got navigated through the key masks of the application by following four use cases. For example, driving a certain distance by both their car and by public transportation or by foot. In a second part the testers had to give detailed feedback about their experience by answering ten open and closed questions and in the final step they were asked to independently and exploratively search for bugs by themselves.

Sport Bittl: Sports enthusiast crowd helps to release a webshop

Sport Bittl has been firmly established among the well-known sports shops in Munich for decades. To ensure that the Munich sports dealer can continue to fulfil its customers’ wishes at the usual level while shopping online, the shop has been redesigned at www.sport-bittl.com. Prior to the release, the new webshop needed to be tested by representatives of the target group, so Sport Bittl chose to do a crowd test with Testbirds. In the context of a so-called BugAbility™ study, the focus was to find functional bugs in the beta version of the webshop as well as to get feedback about its usability.
