HACKER Q&A

Why is there no API for testers on demand?


Many times I would get $100 of value out of a 30 minute test from a tester - and would love to be around to just email or text a service to initiate a test to whoever is available.

Is there some legal, psychological or other reason that this doesn't exist?

I've seen platforms that will review your website and record a video of it. It's not realtime. I think for realtime, always available it would cost more than $100.

What does on-demand QA have to do with an API? You want a service, not an interface for programs to communicate.

Useful QA generally requires testers who participate in the team and development project. If you just want someone to go through an application or web site and bang on it without understanding the underlying requirements try Upwork or Fiverr.

(and to anticipate the answer of Amazon MTurk - I don't think you can easily do it task specifically to each individual or start a task through an API/email?)
