Software testing is a vital phase in any software development project.
Software testing is a vital phase in any software development project. Frequently changing requirements coupled with a reduced product development life cycle has increased the risk of application deployment before a product is ready for the market. According to a CIO survey, finding and fixing bugs accounts for almost 50 percent of the total cost of the software project. The same survey reveals that migration of the QA & Testing function to an offshore vendor can save companies up to 75 percent compared to in-house costs. Another survey conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) finds that US companies spend as much as $60 billion on fixing software defects at the post-release stage. This study also reveals that third party QA & Testing could have saved companies nearly $20 billion.
