Ubertesters

Ubertesters operates as a comprehensive, crowd-based testing provider for mobile and web applications, offering a suite of services to ensure digital products are market-ready. Established in 2012 by Ran Rachlin and Alexey Chalimov, the company emerged from a direct need experienced by the founders for a more flexible and affordable global testing solution. Rachlin, the current CEO, brings extensive global management and business development experience from his time in high-profile roles at companies like Silicom Inc. and Mul-T-Lock, an ASSA-ABLOY group company. This background in leading large international organizations shaped the foundation of Ubertesters, which he co-founded after leaving corporate life to "create something from nothing" without initial funding.

The company's business model is centered around three core offerings: crowdtesting, a SaaS platform, and offshore outsourcing services. The primary service is crowdtesting, which provides clients with on-demand access to a global community of over 80,000 vetted, professional testers across more than 120 countries. This allows for testing of digital products on real devices under real-world conditions, covering functionality, usability, localization, and more. Clients can engage testers on a project basis, with flexible pricing plans designed to be cost-effective, particularly for startups. Revenue is generated through these project-based fees and plans that allow clients to purchase a bank of testing hours for use as needed.

Complementing the crowdtesting service is a proprietary SaaS platform that functions as a robust management tool for the entire beta testing lifecycle. This platform enables clients to handle over-the-air (OTA) build distribution, manage test cases, and utilize a comprehensive bug reporting system that includes screenshot and video recording capabilities. It integrates with third-party bug-tracking systems like Jira, allowing for a seamless workflow between testing and development teams. For clients needing more dedicated support, Ubertesters also offers offshore outsourcing of full-time QA experts from its Eastern European facilities. This multi-faceted approach allows the company to serve a diverse client base, from startups to larger enterprises, by providing scalable and tailored quality assurance solutions.
