Outsourced Development QA
Many outsourced development organizations lack adequate resources and lab infrastructure to perform SQA well. Due to the time-to-market pressures, same developers who worked on the product development are reassigned to perform QA in a short time span. Due to this scenario, outsourced development vendors end up shipping substandard products to the outsourcing customers. While the developers test to prove that their code has zero or minimal bugs, testers are trained to find as many bugs as possible. To ensure highest product quality, it is best to move the ‘QA’ function away from the development group to an independent verification and validation vendor.
If you are outsourcing your development to an Onshore/Nearshore/Offshore vendor, ZenQA can safeguard your product quality interests. Many outsourcing companies co-source QA to us. Co-sourcing means, our QA team works as an extension of your in-house team, with your key QA manager maintaining full knowledge and control of the testing tasks and project plan.
We independently verify and validate the product, so that the delivered product meets your stated functional and peformance requirements. Based on your outsourced development project objectives, our test managers build a master plan that include testing strategy, priorities, and objectives. With the master plan in place, testers can then define test requirements and specific testing goals.
ZenQA’s test consultants ensure the maximum test coverage possible for any product by strictly adhering to the processes and maintaining documentation at every stage. Traceability matrices that map every feature to a test case, negative test cases and exploratory testing are some techniques used. With our streamlined operations and test practicies, test plan templates, methodologies, documentation, and processes, we can help you protect your investment in outsourcing the development and help improve your product quality.

Improved Product Quality: Definite improvement in product quality due to the separation of QA from development effort
Reduced QA Costs: With our highly trained and enthusiastic QA resources, systems and licensed tools - SQA is performed at a fraction of the cost of doing it yourselves
Faster Time-to-market: 24/7 QA cycles and ability to ramp up the QA resources on demand
