Key Findings & Highlights:
This NelsonHall vendor assessment analyzes Global App Testing’ offerings and capabilities in crowdtesting.
Global App Testing (GAT) was founded in 2013 by two British entrepreneurs struggling to conduct testing for their beauty product search engine. Eventually, the two entrepreneurs discontinued their search engine project and launched Global App Testing, focusing on crowdtesting.
Global App Testing has been through several rounds of funding, for a total of $12m. The company has its headquarters in London, U.K., with offices and delivery centers in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and in Krakow, Poland. Its headcount is 88. Its community has ~57k crowdtesters.
Global App Testing's client base includes Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Microsoft, Google, and iHeartMedia and blue chips such as P&G, General Electric, and Shell. Outside of these major brands, Global App Testing has a client base of mid-market firms.
GAT currently provides (functional) crowdtesting services as part of agile/continuous testing projects. Its ambition is to expand its activity to include test automation. The company has already positioned its service portfolio to include crowdtesting services initially and complement them, in parallel, by test script creation and execution.
In the long term, Global App Testing wants to help clients achieve autonomous test automation. Global App Testing has completed its number one priority, which consisted of automated creation. Global App Testing is accelerating its test automation strategy to complement its crowdtesting activities. For the past two years, the company has invested in test automation, relying on AI to automate the creation of (manual) test cases and (automation) test scripts. GAT continues its automation program with the intent of reaching autonomous testing in the coming years.
