Benefits of outsourcing testing team

There are several main approaches of implementation software quality assurance. The main differences between them are whether QA team is integrated with developers team or not. When software testers are independent they report results directly to the customer or responsible person. In the other case when testing team is integrated to development team it reports to the development project manager, who has the final word on all decisions.

Practical experience shows that independent SQA teams deliver better results and customer have clear picture of product quality. The independent QA is motivated to report all possible bugs to the customer earlier. Integrated QA scheme has disadvantage as development project manager could be more optimistic on the status of the project. This could result on unexpected problems, time shifts on final stages or even after release.
