To test or not to test is not anymore the question. The dilemma is what vendor to choose. On one scale, we have software houses, companies that provide the services of custom software development including testing and consulting. And on the other scale, we have independent QA and testing providers whose main activity is software quality assessment.
In order to receive an objective evaluation of software quality and ensure a successful release of solutions to the market, the companies use the services of independent testing providers. Despite a number of benefits, the procedure of independent quality assessment hides several pitfalls that can affect the project team productivity and complicate the workflow. What are the disadvantages of remote QA team?
By using the services of independent testing providers, customers expect to get an effective verification of software as a provider have the equipment and means required for complex testing, high skills and the expertise to ensure proper quality.
In terms of fast-growing market competition, companies follow the agile approach to ensure a quick product release without losing its quality. Providing a ready feature after every Sprint, agile methodology ensures an unremitting process of software development.
