Key Findings & Highlights:
This NelsonHall vendor assessment analyzes Ubertesters’ offerings and capabilities in crowdtesting.
Ubertesters was set up in 2013 by two entrepreneurs of Israeli origin, who had been struggling to source personnel and software tools for testing a mobile app they had created for a taxi start-up, GetTaxi.
Today, Ubertesters is a U.S. firm headquartered in Ramsey, New Jersey. The company has a headcount of ~30. The company has its R&D center close to Tel Aviv (Israel), and its crowdtesting project management and "Outsourcing" activities in Kharkiv, in Ukraine, on the border with Russia.
Initially, Ubertesters created its crowdtesting Platform SaaS product to manage projects and crowdtesters and provide a tool for reporting defects. Over time, Ubertesters re-balanced its business model, combining standalone product subscription sales and bundled crowdtesting services (relying on Platform as a back-end system). The company, therefore, has primary businesses: a crowdtesting business and an ISV business, representing respectively roughly 85% and 15% of revenues.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, Ubertesters benefited from a surge in activity, thanks to greater acceptance of remote working. Also, clients were not ready for a lockdown and turned to Ubertesters to supplement their QA capabilities. Finally, the nature of work changed, from creating new applications to enhancing existing ones with new features.
The pandemic has also changed how it acquires clients. The level of inbound requests for information has increased, complementing its direct marketing and sales activity. Finally, Ubertesters has expanded its client base to new geographies, including Canada, Mexico, and Brazil, bringing new revenue streams.
