Pitchup.com is a London-UK based online campsite and holiday park booking website which has 6000+ listings for campsites and parks in Europe and the USA. It is started in 2009 and is now one of the fastest growing companies in Europe.
Pitchup wanted to test if its online portal works fine for booking packages from Europe and America
99tests planned a strategy for the functionality testing of Pitchup which could be executed at a low cost and in less time by involving skill specific testers from various countries
Pitchup – Online travel agency, got valuable insights after the website was tested by our 197 testers from different locations for the selected destinations and features as per their requirements
Over 1bn holiday nights are spent annually on campsites and caravan parks globally,more than in hotels in many countries. But how will you book your stay with local bike info,walking routes, pubs and happening events nearby? Pitchup is everything you need to book a terrific break. With over 3,000 sites available to book in 43 countries throughout Europe,the Americas, Australia and Africa. In the initial stage when Pitchup wanted to expand and ensure the proper working of its portal for various destinations and had no QA team to conduct the testing is when they approached 99tests. This is how we conducted the test
The Pitchup Success Story:
Challenges faced:
Finding testers to check the functionality of the online travel portal for the specified destinations
- Calling and follow-up with the testers to log bugs during testing
To complete the project consuming minimum amount of time
Approach:
99tests understood the client requirements of testing the functionality of their portal for particular 2 destinations i.e. Europe and America.

Features to be tested include homepage, search, search results,destination, offers, cart, payment, alerts, favorites, manager portal, compare, login, signup,new server, hamburger mobile. Well planned strategy and participation of skill specific testers across the globe lead to smooth execution of the testing

Test report was shared with the client which consisted total of 107 bugs out of which 43 were considered as valid. 197 testers participated in the testing to successfully complete this project.
