Testing by volunteers is hard, and agile development makes it harder for
volunteer testers to follow projects moving at speed.  I have a friend
working on this at Mozilla, and they have similar issues even with
significantly more investment of resources than WMF has.

Of the crowd-sourced testing services, I like uTest the most
http://www.utest.com/. They are one of the oldest such services and they
seem ethical.  While I have not employed them for any projects, I have
dealt with them directly from time to time in the past.

As with any such project, defining a proper focus for the test effort is
key to getting good results.
