Key Findings & Highlights:

This NelsonHall vendor assessment analyzes Digivante’ offerings and capabilities in crowdtesting.

Digivante is the new name of BugFinders, a crowdtesting vendor based in Cheltenham, England.

BugFinders was incorporated in 2011 and launched its operations in 2012, initially involved in providing functional crowdtesting services for e-commerce implementation projects. In late 2018, the company changed its name to Digivante. The name Digivante is a contraction of "Digital" and "vigilance." It highlights that the company has expanded from functional defect identification to a broader offering that includes UX testing and specialized services. Digivante has retained the BugFinders name for its crowdtester community.

Digivante is a large crowdtesting vendor, with a community of 55k crowdtesters. Its key clients include large enterprises (e.g., Epson, Worldpay, Bang & Olufsen), digital agencies, and retail firms.

Digivante is owned by its founders and key executives and has not taken any outside investment; it believes this ownership structure helps it take a long-term view of its client relationships.

The company believes its unique selling proposition is the quality of its work, which it achieves through three means:

  • Its focus on ramping up a large crowd for its projects. Digivante is emphasizing that by involving up to 250 members, it detects many more significant bugs than by involving smaller teams
  • Its "re-test" approach: Digivante, through its U.K. Operations Centers, systematically conducts internal re-testing of defects identified by its crowdtester network
  • An analytics-based approach to testing, with Digivante focusing on areas or devices that need further testing.

Digivante highlights that despite its two-sided approach, it can be cost-competitive, especially for recurring engagements.
