In Search Of The Q3 Bug Battle

We’ve chosen to turn our testing community loose on the most popular search engines

Aug. 6, 2009 08:15 AM

In the past, we’ve brought you the Browser Brouhaha (Q408), a Social Networking Skirmish (Q109) and Twitter App Apocolypse (Q209). Well it’s that time again, so we’re going to be kicking off our Q3 Bug Battle later this week. For this quarter’s competition, we’ve chosen to turn our testing community loose on the most popular search engines:

Google, Bing and Yahoo!

The Q3 Bug Battle will begin on Friday, August 7th and end on Friday, the 14th.

We’ll be awarding more than $3,000 in prize money to the top testers, based on:

Top overall tester (based on the quality of bugs and feedback)
Top novice tester (same criteria)
Top individual bugs in each of the sites (most interesting, most severe, best documented)
Best survey responses (comparing the feature set, functionality and usability)

See complete details for the Search Engine Bug Battle. It’s almost time to track down some bugs, make some money, and be hailed as a Bug Battle victor within the community! Special note: uTesters can get the full details and discuss the Bug Battle ahead of time in the uTest forums.

Have a great idea for a future Bug Battle? Drop us a comment or shoot us a note.
