The advantages of outsourced QA testing

‍

‍

The advantages of outsourced QA testing are apparent. In my opinion, it will be enough to list the following points to dispel the last doubts of the management of any company about the advisability of using the services of an outsourced QA team:

1. High specialization of the team.

‍

Such a team consists of talented, highly specialized testers with extensive experience in various testing methods and highly modernized and advanced tools. Plus, this team is mobile and flexible and can work in different time zones and work conditions.

‍

2. Improving the quality of the staff’s work.

‍

The QA team will help you establish effective communication between your internal teams of specialists and ensure the best results for their work.

3. Profitability.

‍

Instead of keeping a highly qualified tester or an entire test department on your staff, you can delegate testing to a team of experts who will join your personnel only for a specific time required for testing.

4. Adherence to deadlines.

‍

If you outsource quality assurance work to an outsourced QA team, the responsibility for meeting deadlines will become their concern. This is a team of professionals who know what they do. Thus, there is little chance they will not meet the deadline. And this solution will save you time and effort that you can spend on other essential processes.

‍

5. Insightful reports.

‍

Experienced QA teams typically guarantee meaningful and objective reporting daily or weekly throughout a project. These reports will give you a clear picture of the profitability of the project you are working on. In addition, they will help you see and correct errors in the ongoing processes.

‍

In conclusion

‍

‍

You need to address an outsourced QA team. And for this you can always hire a tester permanently.

But will this step benefit you? Will it be efficient enough to recoup the costs? It could be better to turn to the help of professionals and find a more profitable use for the funds allocated for a permanent tester.
