Keep the task focused
A clearly scoped workflow makes it easier for contributors to give useful feedback.
For open source
Test with your own community.
Voluntary test rounds connect your users' experience with concrete work in the repository.
Make contributions actionable
Collect bugs, ideas and requested changes with context. The tester reviews their report before submitting.
Be clear about volunteering
A €0 round is unpaid. A public repository does not automatically provide participants; begin with your own contributors.
Turn feedback into follow-up
- 1
Set a task
Describe what to try and the feedback you need.
- 2

Report, review, retest
Testers give feedback. You work through reports and ask them to check specific changes.
Ask about additional testers
Tell us your audience, devices, language and timing. We check whether suitable people can be recruited. We do not currently promise an immediately available tester pool, fixed recruitment times or a guaranteed participant count.
