Few days ago I twitted about uTest that the platform may not be so reliable if you think to have a steady income from it. The people there are claiming that are top incomes of 4000-5000 dolars /month for the top earners. I have to admit that I stated only my opinion because I care a little for reliable info when comes to things like that.

I was surprise to be contacted from the people there after my tweet and asked, advised and encouraged to continue with uTest, or to participate in bug battle. Well to be honest I don’t have so much time but I want to send a sample bug for the competition. Is not a major issue but I used the excuse to play with perlclip.

The uTest promo looks like this:

What's the best way for new uTesters to stand out from the crowd and get invited to paid testing projects? By participating in the uTest Bug Battle!

Our quarterly Bug Battle competition is open to all members of the uTest global community. We're already five days into the current contest – which is comparing the top 4 job sites – but there are still five days left. So why should you join in the fun?

   1. Money: There's nearly $4,000 up for grabs in this Bug Battle. Rewards are spread out across multiple categories, including best bug, best mobile bug, best usability feedback, top tester, top new tester and more. See a list of winners from our 2nd quarter Bug Battle.
   2. Power: Many of the top testers in our community got "discovered" by participating in Bug Battle competitions. After strutting their stuff and catching our attention, these testers are now regularly invited to high-paying projects for Google, Microsoft, AOL and others.
   3. Respect: The results of our Bug Battles have been covered by TechCrunch, Mashable, Wired, FastCompany, USA Today and thousands of other tech blogs. Winners get listed in our blog, in the tester forums and in our Bug Battle Report, which is downloaded by thousands of readers.

I made a video for my observation (It’s not a bug per-se)

This should be taken as a fun example to play when starting testing something and there is a lack of ideas.
