SQA OUTSOURCING SERVICES
"Develop it, Deploy it, Fix it" is no longer an acceptable adage for the software developer, because users are no longer willing to wait around for the fix. QA is a necessity; and it is of the utmost importance that Software QA be independent of project management for it to be completely effective. Independent testing efforts ensure that your product is tested by individuals who will be just as objective and unforgiving as your customers in the case of potential defect.
Outsourcing SQA to an independent, unbiased source such as SQA Labs is the most effective way to achieve the objectivity that a project needs.
Outsourcing
Competitiveness is the goal of organizations when they decide to outsource part of their operations. SQA Labs outsourcing services lets you move towards combining domain knowledge and outsourcing expertise to bring innovation, business change and improved competitiveness.
Organizations outsource for three main reasons:
- Cost management: Outsourcing provides an opportunity to reduce your costs and improve cost predictability. It allows organizations to free up key resources such as management and optimize budgets, to concentrate on core skills.
- Risk management: Not only does outsourcing transfer the risk of capital expenditure to the service provider it also minimizes risks involved in requisited staff recruitment, with outsourcing providing guaranteed access to relevant skills and knowledge.
- Business acceleration: Outsourcing is used to accelerate speed to market, through enabling business transformation, providing access to new skills set, improving the quality of service and allowing organizations to focus on their core business.
If outsourcing is to be a successful strategic decision and bring about real benefits in the above areas, then not only does your partner need to have outsourcing expertise, but also industry knowledge. SQA Lab's has both.

| Getting it done : |
Even the best team runs out of the time and resources necessary to get certain tests accomplished. If hiring a test firm to perform certain tests takes care of some test goals, then outsourcing is a great idea |
| Experienced & skilled testers can be acquired for short periods of time:
|
Some tests are best performed by experienced professionals, either because the necessary knowledge requires specialize education or backgrounds, or because the necessary skill set can't be learned with in a short deadline. Moreover, some tests require a specialized understanding in order to interpret and analyze the results, and it makes sense to outsource these tests |
| Greater range of testing:
|
Outsourcing enables the organization to perform a greater range of testing services than is currently possible on it's own |
| Neutral point-of-view:
|
Having an independent team perform testing tasks can provide an objective point-of-view about quality issues like usability or compatibility. Outsourcing some testing may provide with more data (varied) , and hopefully unbiased data. |
| Hiring authority :
|
Some kinds of tests -- and some kinds of test firm -- have an authority that a homegrown test team may not be able to compete with. Company executives often find it easier to accept critical results if they come from a third-party, rather than from their own test team. |
| Fresh set of eyes:
|
Involving a new team in testing exposes the code to new test tools and methods; a test firm may find defects your tools were unable to find. |
