AWS Device Farm adds support for iOS

We found it hard to find reliable testers for iOS without building your own team or doing it all on your own devices. Maybe Amazon will come through, but we'll see.

I'd love to see a service where one super tech just tries to break your application on every supported device for a couple hours. A room full of toddlers might also work.

I think it would be a truly viable startup idea to connect app developers with "naive" people - soccer moms who simply haven't got the time to learn tech properly, 70-year-olds who've never used a smartphone, 3 year olds, etc.

Being able to get your website or app (or even good ol' desktop program!) tested by people who have <specific metric> exposure to <granular list of options> wrt. technology would be invaluable, I think.

I consider it sad that this either doesn't exist, or isn't yet a standard part of the common consciousness/culture.

Applause.com does this kind of "in the wild testing" with testers of all levels of expertise. Definitely worth checking out.
