Company profile
researched Aug 2026Testbirds is a crowdtesting provider that connects companies with a global community of testers who evaluate digital products on their own devices in real-world conditions. Its service lines cover QA and functional testing — exploratory or scripted testing of applications across a wide range of devices and operating systems — and usability and UX testing, in which feedback is gathered from testers matching a client's defined target audience. The company positions crowdtesting as something that can be integrated at any phase of the development cycle, from concept through to finished product, and states its coverage is applicable across industries and business departments.
Beyond standard test types, Testbirds offers tailor-made solutions grouped as "Testbirds Exclusives", including training, project consulting, chatbot testing and customer journey testing, as well as security testing carried out by certified ethical hackers and a payment testing offering that validates payment journeys with real users and live accounts. Test objects range from websites and games to wearables and physical objects tested in real-world conditions. The company has also released CATIA, an AI interview moderator that runs qualitative research interviews via a shared link and returns video recordings, transcripts and AI-generated insights.

Alongside project-based QA and UX testing, it offers tailored service packages (Testbirds Exclusives) covering training, project consulting, chatbot testing and customer journey testing, and a self-serve AI interview product, CATIA, which is offered with a free trial.
