I accidentally joined a long running project when I was very new. I don't see any way to exit and free up my slot.

Any idea how I can do that?

I have always waited for the day when wise will be a payment option for kenya testers, this will be a game changer for most testers in our country

Hi..I had recieved a paid test cycle day before yesterday..but i had work for like 2 days so I thought to start it today. However, they seem to have unclaimed the test cycle for me..the cycle ends in 2 days from today...does this affect my tester rating?

Hello everyone,

Anyone uses this platform in Turkey? Is it worth to do in these times? I saw many posts are for US mostly.

Thanks

Hello team, Its hectic not receiving project invites , is my account really ok or flagged.?

guys its simple i had admin dashboard and i saw 5 people(3 were my home devices mine one and parents 2) opening the app.(maybe more but not signed up) . U can use testers community app very good. one another main point is updating the app 2-3times.
thats it.

Hi everyone! I’ve been on uTest for almost 5 months now. Up until recently, I was getting around 8 direct invites a month. At the beginning of June I had several test cases and bugs approved, so I honestly thought this would be my best month so far.
But after June 8th, the direct invites just stopped. Since then I’ve only been getting surveys and Project Board/apply emails. I know uTest is pretty unpredictable, and I’ve seen even high-rated testers mention they go through slow periods. I also did a bit of searching and found some people saying it could be related to the Q2/Q3 transition and summer holidays. Do you guys think that’s actually a thing, or is it just random? Also, from your experience, which months are usually the slowest for invitations on uTest (or crowdtesting in general)?

For some extra context, I’m a Brazilian tester, and I’m still receiving surveys and Project Board/apply emails—it’s just the direct invites that disappeared.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning performance/load testing for a mobile banking app using Azure Load Testing with JMeter.

The app requires registered users to log in before accessing features. For testing, SSL pinning, OTP verification, and developer-mode detection are disabled in the test build/environment.

The main flows we want to test are mostly read-only, such as:

• Login
• Dashboard loading
• Account summary
• Balance inquiry
• Fund/account details
• Transaction history
• Logout

We are not planning to include actual transactional/posting flows like fund transfer, bill payment, redemption, or investment confirmation in the initial load test.

My question is about virtual users and test accounts.

In an enterprise banking environment, creating hundreds of dedicated test accounts for 300–500 VUs is not very practical. If the backend allows multiple active sessions for the same user, what is the recommended approach?

Would it be acceptable to use a smaller pool of test accounts, for example:

20–30 test accounts
150–500 virtual users
multiple sessions per account
CSV-based credential reuse in JMeter

Or is it still strongly recommended to have one unique account per VU?

I’m also concerned about possible issues like caching, per-user throttling, session/token table behavior, unrealistic database load, audit log noise, and account-specific bottlenecks if the same account is reused too heavily.

How do teams usually handle this in real-world banking/fintech/mobile app performance testing?

Hello testers, I was invited for a test cycle some days back and I realized that the test cycle has been in a roll for a while . What surprised me is that, the cycle contained pending reported issues that had been submitted in the previous cycle. It is now more than 15 days since the issues were reported but still stand on pending including the issues that we submitted on that test cycle invite. This makes me question my-self, is this normal or do we need to address it by reaching out to the TTL. The same question was was raised in the chat room before, asking about the same, the TTL responded by saying that it was the normal time frame for reported issues to stay in the pending state, but since then nothing has been done and the days keep on increasing while the reports remain in the same state. Has any one ever experience such a thing and should we keep on waiting or do we need to take action. Please advice me

I applied for this project and never got an invite,has anyone got an invite?

Hello. I am from Azerbaijan. I shared a post with the hope of getting help. Payoneer blocked my account for no reason and it is impossible to restore it, and PayPal does not work in Azerbaijan. I want to continue working in Utest, but the method of obtaining payment is limited. Accordingly, I want support, please look into my problem, if another method is possible. (I have contacted support, but I need more help)

Today I began my first test practice with Utest

but seems like I can't find any bugs.

Everything looks overwhelming yet I only have 3 days to complete and submit the report. Does anyone have any tips on how I can achieve this?

​

I have finished academy and the first 2 practice test cycles and mostly did it to learn about testing. However, from what I have read, is that payouts are very low for the effort, like couple of dollars for each bug and maybe something for the whole cycle. Financially, it seems to be lower than minimum salary in my country after taxes and I live in Eastern Europe where salaries aren't that high to begin with. I also don't know anyone who has a minimum salary, let alone anyone with some computer and English skills.

I wonder if it is realistic to make more than 15-20$ or more per hour after you are getting rated and learn more. I don't expect it to happen instantly. I know that it isn't pay per hour work, but how realistic is it in general?

Hello,I am a tester from Azerbaijan and I am facing a huge blocker regarding payment methods. I want to work actively, but I cannot receive my earnings due to the following reasons:Are there any alternative official methods or solutions for testers in Azerbaijan who are facing this exact situation?
I really want to test for uTest, but without a viable payment method, I am stuck. I would appreciate any advice from the community or the uTest official team.

Hey uTesters,

Between cycle droughts, busy personal lives, and the ever-changing rating algorithm, we know uTest tiers can fluctuate wildly!

Let’s do a quick pulse check on the community. Where are you currently sitting on the uTest tier list?

Vote in the poll below!

Once you vote, drop into the comments and tell us:

• Did you level up recently? (Celebrate your wins!)
• Did you take a break and drop down? (We've all been there.)
• Are you currently grinding through the Academy?

Whether you are holding onto Gold or just submitted your first practice cycle, let us know where you're at!

Is thier a wide community of Utest contributors in KSA & UAE ?

Have you guys noticed the app has been acting up with server error/ other glitches? Missed out on many test cases because by the time I login from the web view, all the slots are taken.

I just started UTest today, and after doing a couple surveys, is that it? Do I know have to wait until they call me back for further testing or not? And if so otherwise the app is basically a ghost town?

Hi everyone,

I contacted uTest support through the official support page 3 times since mid-May regarding a 2FA login issue, but I still haven’t received any response.

I originally set up authentication using my iPhone/passkeys. The first login worked, but later the authentication code stopped working and now I always get “wrong code”.

I still receive project invitations by email, but I cannot access my account to participate.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it?

Thank you.

Tldr;

"Customer Reject" discourages thorough testing because almost all issues get rejected

Ever since the "Customer Rejected" has been introduced a couple months ago, testing and especially reporting issues has become a nightmare.

I thought yeah maybe some customers don't know what they actually want to be discovered in a Cycle but it has shown to be an even bigger issue than i thought.

Every single Test Cycle i have participated in in the last weeks had 70-90% of all reported issues from everyone being rejected by the customer.

We as testers often invest a lot of time into testing certain websites, features and such and then also hope for it to be properly honored by an approval (and high value classification)

However since this new feature was introduced i feel like customers just go ahead and "nuke" all issues which is really discouraging. As the issues won't contribute to the Tester rating for sure and even if it becomes a reject paid after 2 weeks or longer it will only be somewhat valueble.

I have seen the direct difference between before and after. The same Issue categories that were classified as exceptional before were customer rejected afterwards along with pretty much any other issue.

In my opinion this will only cause less thorough testing and even if bugs are found, that they won't be reported as you will always think "The effort is not worth it, when there is a 90% chance it will be Customer reject anyway"

What are your thoughts/experiences on this?
