Software Testing

8 Reasons Why Businesses Should Outsource Content And Software Testing

By Hurix | Quality Assurance | Comments are Closed | 1 December, 2020 | 0

In today’s fiercely competitive business environment, the role of quality assurance in defining the success of any software is immense. Software testing in business is primarily performed to make sure that the software accomplishes all the technical requirements, as directed by the design and development.

Software Testing Goals

There are three key goals of the software testing process including –

  • Detection of defects

The primary goal is to find defects/bugs in the software during various stages of its development.

  • Prevention of defects

The timely detection of defects helps anticipate and prevent them from occurring at later stages of the development process or from recurring in the future.

  • User satisfaction

Quality assurance and software testing play a vital role in accomplishing the demands and expectations of the customers. It also helps businesses in saving costs, along with fixing the mistakes before they become troublesome.

8 Key Reasons to Opt for Third-Party Software Testing Services

Software testing is an integral aspect of any business, but a lot of organizations don’t have sufficient resources, skills and qualifications to carry out this task.

This is one of the primary reasons why businesses opt for outsourced software testing services as the best way to achieve the desired results.

QA outsourcing to a professional third-party testing firm is, in fact, one of the best decisions for a business. Partnering with an expert QA testing company helps to accelerate the overall software development process and also enhances effectiveness and efficiency while maintaining the objectivity of the process.  

Here we are discussing some of the main benefits of outsourcing quality assurance to a third-party –

1. Skills & Expertise

QA and software testing requires a great deal of experience and expertise. In most cases, the in-house QA teams aren’t well-equipped with the latest tools, technological trends and QA best practices. It generally includes a range of tools to test various technologies on multiple devices, platforms and operating systems.

This makes it important to hire a reputed third-party QA services vendor, who is both experienced and also accomplished in the field of software testing and advanced test automation. A specialist third-party testing service partner can bring the required skill sets and best-in-class testing resources for your project.

2. Cost-Effectiveness

One of the significant factors to consider during the process of software testing is reduced and more manageable costing.  

Hiring a third-party software testing firm helps you reduce downtimes related to excessive team workload or employee absenteeism. In addition to this, various overhead costs such as office space, salary, maintenance, and more do not exist with outsourcing – thereby reducing overall testing costs substantially.

3. Efficient & Objective Assessment

In most cases, coders struggle to objectively look at defects, errors and bugs. But when you decide to separate coding from testing by going with a third-party testing service, you enjoy the benefit of an unbiased assessment of your software.

An outsourced team that has no role in the development process will ensure an impartial assessment. Further, QA outsourcing to a professionally qualified firm with expertise and experience in the area will also ensure that your software is tested thoroughly and rigorously.

4. Easier Scalability & Lower Cost of Acquisition

Easy scalability and reduced cost of acquisition are one of the key reasons why businesses opt for outsourcing their QA and software testing function.

By doing this, companies can immediately hire an expert team of QA testing specialists without spending too much time or resources on advertising, hiring and training the software testers before they can be ready to take on the task.

Similarly, it is easy to decommission the services of a third-party testing partner once the job is done, which gets difficult in case of an in-house QA testing team.

5. Faster Results & Better Focus

Outsourcing the testing function speeds up the process of software development substantially. 

This is primarily because by outsourcing the QA and software testing work, you allow yourself to completely focus on your core business and generate revenue without worrying about the quality of your software applications.

This aspect could be especially critical when a company needs to make urgent changes in the software, which must be thoroughly checked for correct functioning and validity.

6. Complete Confidentiality of Code

Opting for third-party software-testing services ensures that your business still gets access to unique testing scripts and defect-free software, without having to share details of the coding. 

With QA Outsourcing, you also don’t have to worry about any breach of Intellectual Property Rights.

7. Flexibility of Resources

Third-party software testing makes it possible to use and pay only for the resources you require. It often happens that the application you’re building becomes more complex during the development phase than what you originally planned. In such cases, you require both technical expertise and more resources to test the app.

Outsourcing the testing function can help you navigate such situations within your budget. For instance, if you’re aiming for faster release cycles, it may require instant ramp-up or ramp-down of resources. With the outsourcing of QA, you can achieve this by reducing the deployment of resources and pay only for what you specifically need.

8. QA Automation

Automation testing is gaining a lot of popularity among businesses as it ensures a seamless multi-device app experience to users. But not everyone has expertise in automated testing, and hence, it makes sense to hire a third-party testing provider with experience in automated testing.

A professional provider relies on advanced test automation tools, bug tracking and cutting-edge technologies to make the overall process of testing much faster and more efficient. 

They are also equipped with various technically sound test resources along with robust testing platforms and cloud infrastructures which they use for testing purposes.

In Conclusion

Outsourced software testing offers a perfect solution for businesses that work with fast-moving and highly complex projects, where each error/defect or a loss of quality could prove costly.

A business that separates the process of software development from that of testing, benefits particularly from improved transparency of test quality and services, the objectivity of testing performance and a clear allocation of roles.

When you’re hiring a third-party software testing partner, it is always recommended to work with a vendor that values ethical conduct and displays a transparent and responsible attitude. Make sure to choose a company that bears complete responsibility for the output and delivers results consistently.
