Software companies manufacturing applications for gadgets such as the iPhone need your help. Becoming a beta tester is easier than you might think and you will end up with the coolest gadgets for free in exchange for your help.
So what will it take to become an applications tester? Well, not pretty much to be honest. You won’t need previous experience or references because software manufacturers want their applications to be tested by ordinary people just like you and me. This will give them an idea about how their software is going to be received by the general public. To software engineers everything looks easy to use but there have been when applications that were only tested by the people who made them proved to be commercial failures as the general public found them too hard to operate.
This is why beta testers are now regular people, kids, students, housewives and school teachers. The testing process is quite simple. All you will have to do is take the iPhone with the application installed on it and use it only when you need it just like a regular buyer would. You won’t have to assess the technical features of the software but its general usability and every day utility.
After the testing period (usually about a week) you will have to give your honest review to the company. As a reward for your work (if you can call playing with a gadget “work”) you won’t be paid in cash but you will get to keep the iPhone you’ve just used for testing for free instead.
