The general public calls them glitches, the tech community calls them bugs; either way, they’re the reason why websites and mobile apps don’t quite do what they’re supposed to do.

Somewhere between sleepless nights of coding and software product launch, bug’s appear from coding inconsistencies, and make website incompatible with a browser or mobile apps unable to run properly. Have no fear app developers, marketers, and executives — uTest, based in Southborough Mass., has 27,200 testers worldwide, on-hand to test your website, mobile app, game, or desktop software for any bugs.

Today, Jim Savage, a partner from uTest’s main investor, Longworth Venture Partners, will join uTest’s Board of Directors and bring 20 years of valuable experience to one of the hottest startups in the region.

Founded in early 2007 and headed by CEO, Doron Reuveni, uTest has worked with customers like Google, Microsoft, The BBC, MySpace, and locally-based MocoSpace to test everything under the sun and make sure it releases flaw-free. uTest’s testers are located in over a 150 countries and range in age, industry, and skill. When a new client signs up for the company’s crowd-sourced service, uTest assigns a project manager to the squash, who then chooses a team of global testers based on things like their location, operating system, browser, or wireless carrier. Immediately after the team is chosen, testers begin to search the product for bugs in realtime. After the uTest scour is complete, the client receives a full diagnostic report and uTest takes care of paying the testers.

Sounds like a lot, but if uTest is helping companies like Google get products to market faster, you know they’re onto something big. Savage recognizes this and couldn’t be happier about joining the board.

Longworth Venture Partners saw something in uTest way back in December 2008 when they closed a $5M Series B round of funding along with Boston’s Egan-Managed Capital.

“Longworth was originally attracted to uTest because we recognized that the company sat at the intersection of several powerful trends, including crowdsourcing, on-demand models, and the era of apps,” said Savage. He comes with over two decades of experience in Internet and digital media companies including Constant Contact, based in Waltham Mass. Before Savage co-founded Longworth, he was the CEO of PlanetAll Inc., one of the first social networking sites which was launched in 1996 by Harvard Business School and MIT graduates. PlanetAll was acquired by Amazon.com in 1998. Savage brings an impressive resume to the company, not to mention a stellar local (and national) reputation.

uTest’s board already includes CEO and Co-Founder Doron Reuveni, partner at Egan-Managed Capital, Travis Connors, Partner at Mesco Ltd., Joel Mesznik, and SVP of Market Development at Constant Contact, Eric Groves.

According to uTest, the board change doesn’t come with any further funding. The company has recently been recognized as an AlwaysOn East Top 100 company and will soon announce another award — they’re being included in the Red Herring North America 100 list. It appears as though this is simply a chance for a seriously experienced guru to join a seriously exciting company’s board.
