During this it is a fairly tight integration of the customer's production process and test agency (scheme of integration between companies is shown in picture).

Considered scenario of work suggests that it will be assigned the responsible managers as at the part of the customer, and by the test agency. Please note that the team of testers had a permanent staff, since frequent changes of personnel will require additional costs for "understanding" the product because it is either reduce the quality or increase the time of *software testing[http://qatestlab.com//company/why-software-testing/]*.

I want to share the experience that we have received and continue to receive, researching and testing simultaneously.

The reason of it is that more than one previous stage of design, coding and *software testing*[http://qatestlab.com//company/why-software-testing/] may have to be repeated.

So if we are supposed to prove the accuracy of a program, we will un-deliberately run tests that are less likely to detect a fault.  And if it is the purpose of a test to find a fault, we will automatically focus our exertions in this direction and produce better tests.
