What does Rainforest QA do?

Rainforest QA, is a company which is replacing the QA team with a QA-as a service platform. This company allows people to create tests for a website in plain English and run them across all the major browsers with just one click. Currently even to build a world class software we need to build a world class QA team. This company is working to make it so, just similar to the infrastructure, that no longer is the case. This platform removes the manual QA barriers, performing on demand regression testing at automation speed by leveraging a crowd of 50,000 testers. The company takes a bionic approach, which combines the machine learning with human crowd to drastically reduce the time necessary for manual testing, and the results are usually returned in less than thirty minutes, unlike the hours, days or even weeks sometimes it takes to do otherwise. So the outcome is a faster turnaround, reduces costs, there is more thorough coverage and a streamlined management process which helps in constant deployment. the company empowers organizations with ship code all the time and lets them focus on the quality software building and not managing testers.
