I've thought about it, but it just seems too tricky. Businesses want guarantees of security and privacy that a "wild west" cloud like TestSwarm.com can't provide.
Instead, I just opted to release all the software as open source. If a corporation wants to use it for their commercial projects they can set up their own swarm and worry about those issues.
It definitely seems like there could be a profit strategy here but I can't quite see it yet (nor am I hugely interested in heading down that path).
- dschobel 17y agoI think there's a big potential for a commercial product here. Couldn't all of the security and privacy issues be addressed by just buying a bunch of hardware, setting up the VMs and then selling testing time? Rather than fully distributed make it more (pardon the buzz word) cloud-like? With the amount of javascript being written these days, I think the instant testing infrastructure with zero maintenance would be a huge sell for small and medium size companies. edit: Although, for that matter if you're going to own the hardware/configuration, you could just as well go with Selenium and sell time on that. Either way, I think people would buy time on either sort of a setup.
- jeresig 17y agoIf you're doing that then you might as well use Selenium Grid: http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/ http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/ Granted it doesn't have the nice continuous integration view or the error correction that Test Swarm has but everything else is there.
