Testlio Raises $1M To Provide On-Demand QA Testers
Summary
Testlio, a startup that provides development teams with dedicated quality-assurance testers, has recently raised $1 million in seed funding to bring on more experts to fill out its “elastic” on-demand offering. Once a plan has been laid out, the test lead can adjust the number of testers she needs on a developer’s case in order to get through the necessary work on time. This means that right before a major product launch, your QA team can scale up to handle all the changes on iPhone and Android, while also not forcing you to keep paying for an entire staff when you just need one person to check some minor changes to the web app during a slow week. In a way, it could be seen as a complement to services like Rainforest, which lets you send off routine testing tasks to people with the basic skill set to do the job. Testlio founder and CEO Kristel Viidik says her company currently regularly works with 100-200 QA testers, though “thousands” have signed up to go through the startup’s strict verification process.
