It's a great news for the testing professionals. Now they can earn a lucrative amount thanks to Google. Google has initiated a reward program for the bug tracker of their googlechrome browser.
Chromium browser is already undergoing security testing by group of researchers associated with Google. Now Google has invited external help from research community to make the process more quicker and efficiently bug free. Google is encouraging individuals to participate in Chromium security and scrutinize Chromium's code and behavior.
The program is all about to ensure security of Chromium users. An individual contributing an original and unreported bug will be eligible for rewards. There are several Reward Guidelines.
The base reward for eligible bugs is $500. If the panel finds a severe bug or particularly clever, Google would reward $1337. The panel may also decide a single report actually constitutes multiple bugs.
Everyone is welcome to take part in this ongoing experimental program. But Google has made it clear that it is not going to issue rewards to those residing in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria due to export restriction imposed by US.
