I look for if they’re active on social media (i e., sharing photos or WIP pics), good finished photos, and thorough feedback. Photos don’t need to be professional, but generally speaking, they need to be clear and taken in good lighting. I also appreciate it when testers send me yardage, measurements, and any other notes.

I’m generally looking for people who have tested before or are a bit more experience since it can be a bit confusing and stressful to test at first.
Not enough people are joining my tests to be picky about it, but mostly I want people’s feedback about the pattern, clarity of instructions, finished look, fit of the garment, that sort of thing.
Stolen work and failure to respect deadlines would be an immediate disqualification.
