Now many companies are turning to outsource. This is a common practice among both large and small companies. Outsourcing has many advantages:
- Saving money. Hiring a third-party team is cheaper than maintaining a QA team, training, and supporting it.
- Lack of restrictions. The market offers a huge number of testing teams, with different experience and level of knowledge. Many highly qualified specialists work in outsourcing, and you can hire them. Some companies make testing platforms and have powerful resources that they can apply in testing your product.
- Time-saving. Outsourcing testing helps you focus on other company issues.
We at software testing company UTOR figured out why, when, and how to look for a QA team for outsourcing.
Why do you need QA?
Even small bugs or defects can reduce your income. In a world where thousands of new apps and programs appear every day, and in a highly competitive environment nobody would use a product with bugs. According to Apigee, 44% of users delete a native app if it doesn’t work correctly. And 79% of users are less likely to purchase from the site again if they had performance issues, according to Kissmertics.
Also, poorly performing apps or products can harm your brand name and reputation. Google says 48% of users think that a poorly performing app or site meant a company didn’t care. This may cause negative reviews and a lack of recommendations.
