The Business Case for Outsourcing Software Testing to a Separate Vendor

Overview This LogiGear white paper explains how using a specialized software testing vendor that's not connected to the development team can help software manufacturers accelerate time-to-market for an application while enhancing its overall quality and value to customers. Many firms now outsource their QA testing projects to separate testing firms because:

Their work is handled by testing experts rather than by junior development staff
Their business risks are reduced through diversification
They save money by tapping smaller outsourcing markets

The paper goes on to state the business case for choosing LogiGear as your partner for the coordination and delivery of software testing tools and services, including:

QA software
Onshore and offshore testing solutions
Software testing process and strategy consulting
Software testing training
