Managed Testing Company

Managed software testing services are the practice of outsourcing software testing tasks to improve operations and reduce costs.

Managed testing is a good choice for companies that do not have the proper internal resources to implement complex testing procedures. Then choosing a good managed testing services provider will help them save time and deliver high-quality results without having to hire full-time employees or interact with freelancers.

Managed QA service providers offer not only specialists, but also access to all necessary software and implementation of automation best practices throughout the project. You get the opportunity to focus on other business tasks while testers perform all quality assurance tasks.

Managed testing includes the entire testing process and exhaustive answers to the questions:

1. What should be tested? Here we are talking about the system under test and all its requirements and functions that need to be tested. Eventually this should be formalized as a list of test cases.
2. How should this be tested? This is the definition of the depth and detail of the tests. For example, testing the general functionality of the system without specific details regarding the interaction with third parties.
3. When should this be tested? This determines whether testing should be carried out at a specific time, regularly at specific intervals, or in the event of a certain scenario foreseen in advance.
4. What can delay the completion of testing? Here it is necessary to try to simulate and anticipate what potential failures or problems can delay the completion of testing and minimize risks.
5. Who are the key stakeholders? Identification of key stakeholders allows establishing the right communication scheme and optimizing the decision-making process at different stages of work.

Managed software testing services are necessary for a company if:

1. Complex testing is required and there is no corresponding full-time team.
2. The cost of acquiring freelancers or finding new hires drives up the cost of testing.
3. The company has a team of testers, but there is no standardized and structured testing process and delivery quality assurance.

In general, managed testing is a useful and effective solution for complex projects requiring a lot of automation. It is especially relevant in the case of limited time and resources and when you understand that buying software licenses and hiring new employees will cost you more than transferring managed testing to outsourcing specialists.
