The Software Testing Bowl (Test Bowl for short) is a virtual software testing competition where teams of testers battle for the title of Best Software Testing Team of 2021
Test Bowl is a great way to meet and network with other testing superheroes, show off your mad testing skills, win cool prizes, and have fun.
Test Bowl 2021 is hosted virtually on December 9, 2021, 4pm (EST).
Anyone who can attend the event can compete. Participation is free - all you need to do is register here here.
The Software Under Test will be announced just before the start of Test Bowl. It will be either a web or a smartphone app.
Participants work in small teams. Teams have around two hours to file bugs and a summary test report. Teams are judged on both the quality and quantity of their reports.
Test Bowl brings together some of the best testers in the country, laser-focused on a single app. That app could be yours if you have new software ready for real-life testing!
You are a start-up or non-profit, willing and able to: work with Test Bowl to prepare for the competition; demo your app at the event; and help participants during the event.
The app should be: feature rich; in beta; accessible to all participants (via a public url or established app marketplace); and free to download and use (at least for participants).
You will get: tons of excellent test reports from experienced testers; and a chance to network and raise your exposure with a dynamic and diverse group of professionals.
