Crowdtesting (or crowdsourced testing), is a practice that harnesses the efficiency and advantages of crowdsourcing for software testing. Software such as mobile apps, SaaS, native desktop applications, or websites in various stages of development, is distributed to a large group of people. The people in this group, the crowdtesters, run the software on their own computers or mobile phones to inspect it for defects and areas for potential improvement. 

At test IO, these crowdtesters don’t need to be given specific scripts; they’re usually asked to evaluate specific sections or features of the application, using their experience and best judgement to unearth and identify problems. Reports from the testers flow back to the software team, at test IO typically after being examined by a senior tester.
