CARE International has outsourced analysis of its new UK website design to a network
of thousands of software testers to make sure that the site works and displays correctly
on a wide range of mobile devices and systems.

The charity did so using the crowdsourced software testing solution of BugFinders.
The company deployed a team of 264 professional software testers to scrutinise CARE’s
website for bugs over the course of three days. In this period, the redesigned website
was tested on 24 different mobile devices, 62 different browsers, and 23 different
web and mobile operating systems.

The analysis was particularly important because CARE was redeveloping an existing
site rather than building a new one. This meant there were a lot of legacy coding
issues.

[BugFinders](http://www.bugfinders.com), based in the UK, maintains a community 
of over 55,000 professional software testers in 105 countries, who participate in
testing projects as and when they want to. It has worked with a range of charities
and NGOs, and offers a 10% discount to them.

With large teams working simultaneously, the company’s crowdsourcing approach can
offer rapid testing of customer-facing apps and websites across a broad range of
web and mobile devices.

Richard Edwards, Digital Manager at CARE International UK, said:

> “[Pedalo](http://www.pedalo.co.uk), the development agency we worked with, did
> a fantastic job redesigning the site, and our additional partnering with Bugfinders
> helped guarantee that any legacy code related bugs wouldn’t disrupt our users’
> experience.. Partnering with BugFinders not only gave us peace of mind about our
> site being used on a broad range of smartphones and tablets, but also enabled 
> us to test the site over a weekend and launch it very quickly.”
