Tips & tricks to help you earn more each cycle
Our aim at Tester Work is to support you to improve your testing skills and give you the opportunity to join exciting QA projects for world class apps every day. We want you know how to make the most of your time working with us, and the higher the quality of your testing, the more money you will be able to earn. Here are a few hints to help increase your development and earning potential:
1. Maximise the number of projects you are eligible for
- Make sure your device list is always up to date on your profile
- Don’t throw away old devices, you never know when we might be running a ‘legacy’ test!
- Try to keep at least one device up to date at all times with the most recent OS
- If you have a developer license, download new OS updates before the general public to take part in our high priority projects
- Check your email regularly for new projects – this is how we will communicate about new testing work that is available based upon your profile
2. Maximize the number of bugs you report that we accept
- Read the Test Specification thoroughly – this is where we tell you what the focus of the project is, and lay out which bugs will be accepted and rejected
- Check known issues lists and bug reports already submitted to avoid raising a duplicate bug
- Include all necessary information in your bug reports when you submit them – if we have to remind you to add details you will likely lose out on your payment
- The vast majority of the time functional bugs are valued more highly than usability suggestions, and have a higher rate of pay. If this is not the case, we will specify before the test begins
3. Learn from other testers and fine tune your skills
- Check out what other bugs have reported on a project, and start to build your own framework for hunting for bugs!
We want you to be successful and have the opportunity to earn as much as possible testing with us, so we will do our best to help every step of the way!
