Global App Testing Vs. Rainforest QA

With the need for app testing growing, it’s no surprise that there’s an abundance of platforms out there promising to meet all your testing needs. 

Rainforest QA is just one of many platforms providing users with a suite of testing and management tools, but just because it’s well-known doesn’t make it the best option. At Global App Testing, we do things a little differently. We like to think of ourselves as innovators (after all, we did create Testathon!)

Read on to find out what makes us different to other app testing platforms like Rainforest QA, and why you should choose us as your provider.

Why is Global App Testing the best Rainforest QA alternative?

At Global App Testing, our mission is simple; give businesses and QA engineering teams the ability to instantly and effortlessly find bugs before they impact end-users. While there are a lot of app testing platforms out there, very few have had as much of an impact on the QA and testing industry as we have. 

Alongside our all-in-one testing platform, we’ve created Testathon - an exhibition that brings the best testers together to try out some of the newest, most amazing apps. We strive to innovate; something which is reflected in our Global App Testing delivery to clients. 

Rainforest QA is one of many testing platforms out there, but we believe Global App Testing brings something different to the market: A combination of innovation, hands-on support, and a 60,000+ strong community of testers ready to give your software the green light before deployment.

Key features of Global App Testing

Fast results & analysis

Get fast and actionable test results with our detailed bug reports and data, so you can make any necessary changes ASAP. After you’ve run a test, we’ll provide you with the data and information you need to make improvements and fix the bugs and errors that matter most. 

With our filtering and grouping system, you’ll be able to easily prioritize and manage resources and data, helping you pinpoint key problem areas without any of the hassle.

We’ll give you access to detailed bug reports that offer visibility on any issues your product or software is encountering. We’ll provide you with step-by-step test execution details, as well as screenshots, screen recordings, and metrics to help you improve your product before rolling it out to end-users. 

Not only does this give your application and software quality assurance, but it ensures that your team is focusing on the bugs that matter most, rather than scrambling from one bug to the next.

Integrations

Our QA platform comes with a host of advanced integrations to make for more seamless workflows and digital experiences. From DevOps & CI/CD tools to bug tracking software and productivity and time-planning integrations, we’ve got you covered. 

Integrations can help increase productivity and efficiency amongst your team at work, as well as free up resources and stop your employees from toggling between different applications. If company data is all secure and stored within one central location, it makes for a smoother work experience.

Some of our most popular integrations include:

• Jira
• GitHub
• Azure DevOps
• Trello
• Pivotal Tracker
• Sprintly
• Basecamp
• Asana
• DoneDone

Access to real testers

Execute tests and check for bugs with 60,000+ live testers on our platform and via API. At Global App Testing, we combine crowdtesting and automation to give you quality assurance before rolling your product out to end-users.

On-demand QA

Support your DevOps team with our on-demand QA platform. With Global App Testing, you can easily create and manage tests from a central location, and use UI or API for rapid test execution.

Enterprise grade security

We know just how important it is to keep your software and applications secure - that’s why security is one of our top priorities. 

Global App Testing is built and hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This ensures our platform meets the highest quality standards with data hosting and encryption, disaster recovery measures, single-sign in and authentication, and web application and network firewalls. 

We’ve also completed our ISO 27001 audit, which means we meet the highest worldwide security standards.

Types of testing we offer

We offer a wide range of testing capabilities for businesses, increasing your chances of finding bugs quickly.

Our most popular testing offerings include:

Functional testing

A type of black-box testing, functional testing assesses whether your product actually works and can be used by customers the way it’s intended to be. Instead of focusing on processing, functional testing focuses on what the results of processing should be.

Functional testing assesses:

• How well the features of the product work
• How accessible the product is
• Usability and user experience
• What happens when problems arise, and possible solutions to these problems

Functional testing is key to ironing out any issues early and ensures that the product works as expected.

How it works with Global App Testing:

At Global App Testing, we do the hard work for you and take on your company’s functional testing so you can spend more time on test strategy and analysis. Our testers will help free up your resources, letting you and your team focus on what’s most important.

Functional testing is usually best executed via high-quality testing by real people on real devices, which is something Global App Testing offers its clients. 

Automated testing means that all your simple and repetitive tasks can be checked and given the green-light quickly, while manual testing (via our crowdtesting community or our in-house team) ensures that you pinpoint all the bugs that disrupt the user experience.

Exploratory testing takes a slightly different approach to software testing. Focusing on individual learning and test design, it’s an approach that enables testers to unearth defects and problems that aren’t easily found in other tests. 

The great thing about exploratory testing is that it gets testers to think outside the box and come up with use cases that wouldn’t otherwise be discovered in an ordinary test case.

Exploratory testing assesses:

• How the product works
• What kinds of questions should be asked about the product
• How the product will handle different test cases

Exploratory testing is key to achieving faster development cycles, particularly for an Agile team that needs to refine and develop the product throughout its entire lifecycle.

How it works with Global App Testing:

Experience scalable exploratory testing with our QA platform for mobile and web development teams, and have access to a network of professional testers who are ready to take a deep-dive into your product. 

Uncover bugs and technical issues that might otherwise get lost in translation, ensuring your app is functional and of a high-quality before it’s rolled out to end-users.

The great thing about our exploratory testing is that it’s completely flexible and adaptable to your business needs. Test your app on your own terms, relying on us as little or as much as you need. You don’t have to rely on rigid testing templates.

Our flexible QA system means you have access to on-demand exploratory testing without any of the hassle. For every exploratory test you execute, 15 to 20 professional testers will be used to take a deep dive into your application to help pinpoint critical errors and bugs within your application.

Regression testing

Performed after you’ve made changes or updates to your product, regression testing ensures everything is functioning as it should be, and that the changes haven’t altered your product’s core makeup. 

Regression testing is important because even the smallest of changes can have unforeseen consequences. Testing your product after you’ve made a few tweaks will ensure everything is working as expected, and will give you time to iron out any issues before rolling it out to your end users.

How it works with Global App Testing:

Made any changes to your product’s code or make-up? Give it the once over before deployment with our QA testing platform. Our testers will jump on your product, looking out for any changes after updates or alterations.

Test case execution

Common lingo in the software world, a test case execution is simply a deep dive into the inputs, execution, testing conditions, and testing procedures that all contribute towards how a test is executed.

The whole purpose of test case execution is to determine whether features are operating as expected, and that they meet your industry and customer guidelines. It can also help unearth any errors or bugs within your product before you roll it out to your end users.

How it works with Global App Testing:

Test specific workflows for your web or mobile application with our QA platform. These tasks can often be repetitive, so leave it in the hands of our testers to make sure everything is working the way it should with your product. 

Not only does this free up resources and time for your team to spend on analysis, but it also eliminates the need for test automation engineers. With our network of 60,000+ live testers and our in-house team, there will always be someone to help execute and process tests for your team, enabling you to free up internal resources and focus on high priority activities. 

We can help you with:

• Executing tests via platform or API
• Importing your existing test cases
• Writing out test cases in English
• Test case suite creation (though this is entirely optional).

Usability testing

With a focus on improving the user experience (UX), usability testing involves testing your product’s functionality and ease of use by observing live users as they interact with your product. The end goal is to unearth possible areas of confusion and enhance the UX. 

At its core, usability testing is all about ensuring that your product features and purposes are in line with what your customers are looking for. By observing their live testing, you’ll gain valuable insight into things like user needs, user behavior, and customer expectations.

How it works with Global App Testing:

Get instant feedback about your product in real-time with our 60,000+ vetted testers, helping to ensure your final product delivers a seamless digital experience to users. We’ll review linguistics, content, functionality, and more to help uncover any problems with your product.

Web app testing

Web app testing essentially focuses on your web products, running tests to help unearth any problems and ensure everything is operating the way it’s supposed to. Testing a web application before it goes live can help unearth small errors that you might otherwise have missed.

Testing your web app will ensure that it’s:

• Accessible
• Informative
• Easy to use and user friendly
• Secure 

How it works with Global App Testing:

Perform web app testing on nearly any device from your laptop’s Chrome browser to Android OS-driven mobile devices, iPhones, Linux desktops, and iPads, with our QA platform. Our network of testers will run through your web app, helping you iron out any technical issues before launch day.

Mobile app testing

Mobile testing focuses on your mobile products, running tests to help unearth problems and ensure everything is running smoothly. Testing mobile applications before they’re rolled out to end users ensures your product is free of any critical errors or bugs, making for a seamless UX.

Mobile app testing is important because it helps businesses (from small and medium firms to enterprises) to build scalable applications that are accessible and user-friendly across a wide range of platforms. 

Functionality, consistency, and usability are key factors that are checked during mobile app testing, something which can be done via automation or by real testers.

How it works with Global App Testing:

Deliver consistent and high quality mobile applications to your end users with Global App Testing. We use real testers to ensure every problem is spotted and ironed out, and we test in 189+ countries to find issues affecting every kind of user.

Localized app testing is a software testing practice that focuses on a specific locale or region, using real people from the area to run tests and help uncover any issues. This is especially useful if your product has been designed for a particular language or country, as localized app testing can help ensure that it fits the target market well.

Localized app testing is a must for businesses looking to market in global waters, as it ensures that products are high quality in a variety of locales, and that any bugs can be fixed before the product is rolled out to the end user. 

Just think about it. If you rolled out a product that wasn’t 100% vetted and of a high quality, you risk losing users to competitors and other brands, so stay a step ahead by carrying out regular localized testing.

How it works with Global App Testing:

Get localized QA coverage for mobile and web apps with Global App Testing. With 60,000+ testers from around the globe, test your product with real people from the regions you’re most interested in. Our global testing framework ensures that you’ll deliver global products that are suited to the locale—or locales—you’re targeting.
