We are building a brand-new Service, with an ambition to scale to all products in WebXT (Bing, Maps, Edge, Windows Feeds etc.) providing necessary infrastructure to schedule & distribute many scenarios for validation. This system will leverage the power of crowdsourcing to auto generate a user perceived quality score representative of the health of the products, to enable teams to be in control of their feature quality and take pride in their product.

The service is expected to run 10s of thousands of scenarios every day for both webpages and apps starting with deployment of right version of operating system/hosting app with appropriate settings and connecting with relevant judges across multiple crowdsourced platforms. In addition, the service will include capabilities to capture the validation process for future debuggability, built in intelligence to target high fidelity judges, ability to dynamically update the pricing for these tasks and support real time routing across platforms to optimize for cost. Responsive dashboard, with real time data ingestion is other fundamental capability, to ease consumption of data by everyone in the organization.
