“Blue Fish needed to make the jump from writing code that is bug free and checked internally to having a rigorous third party review to ensure quality, but didn’t want to make their clients wait longer for their deliverables.”

Software Application Testing Is Our Thing


Whether It’s Object Oriented Testing or Software Regression Testing- It Can All Be Done In Your Sleep

So of course software application testing is our bread and butter.  But why would you work with us versus anyone else?  Well, we’ve spent the many years refining a system that will provide you with actionable results from the first day that you start testing.  Our approach goes beyond just delivering bugs.  We take great care to hire QA Managers and Test Engineers who are passionate about delivering results and value.  We also have expertise when it comes to object oriented software testing, software regression testing and much more.

We pull all this together into a testing process that fits tightly with your organization -

  • Together, we establish a monthly, weekly and daily testing plan
  • Testing activities can occur over night or during the day (nearshoring vs. offshoring)
  • We access your application and data over a secure Internet connection or installed in our secure labs


Mastering The Channels of Communication With Your SQA Services Partner

In order to make sound business decisions, you need to have clear information about the status of your software. To meet this pressing demand, we provide you with Daily Activity Report each morning so that you can take any necessary actions immediately. If you have questions, you'll get direct answers from your QA Manager.  Do you know another software testing company that provides this service?

A key benefit to having a QA Manager is communication. From the outset, you'll have Weekly Status Meetings where you'll get straight talk from our QAM to insure that we are delivering according to your plan.

One of the biggest headaches in outsrouced management is that dreaded call in the middle of the night. You won't ever have to take one of those while working with us. Your QA Manager is "on call" 24 hours a day, seven days a week to make sure that outsourced team doesn't have stoppages. Every night, the QAM sets up the team's testing priorities. Only when the testing team has fallen back on their B, C and D priorities do they pick up the phone.


Delivering On Our Software QA Testing Promises - Every Day. Every Quarter. Every Year.

Of course testing is about the quality of your product, so we make sure that we're delivering on our promises. Once a quarter, your QAM will conduct a survey to get your feedback and define your goals for the next quarter.


Don't Choose A SQA Services Team Until You've Read This

Before you chose a software testing company, you should learn everything you can about the details of outsourcing.

Luckily, your education on this site doesn't cost you anything. But an ineffective partnership could cost you your business. Your goal should be to approach a vendor as an educated business partner.

Below you'll find an outline of the most common complaints about outsources services. We believe that we've solved them, and you can read how. If you choose a different partner, we want you to have all of the data that you need to make an informed and rational decision.


Outsourced Software QA Testing Communication Is Unclear And Inconsistent

"My software testing copmany said they understood me. They disappeared for a week and brought back something that was nothing like my requirements. I could never get a straight answer from them."

Does that sound familiar to you? We've heard it from disgruntled executives and QA Managers alike who have experienced failed projects.

The fact of the matter is that you're dealing with a different culture, whose native language isn't English. You're going to get indirect responses and misused terms. Be prepared for a steep learning curve on your side as well as theirs. That's your first hurdle.


Outsource SQA Services Turnover Destroys Momentum And Knowledge Transfer

Why is turnover so bad in the SQA services business?

The story is really no different across the world as it is in the United States-exceptional people don't grow on trees. With a booming job market overseas and nearby, talented people gravitate towards money and benefits.

As a rule, every good software testing company has a system for managing turnover. The key thing for you to understand from your partner is how they do it.

But be careful. There are ways of hiding turnover. Find out how you prevent the effects of turnover.


Time Zones Make Software Application Testing Management Impossible

There are several factors that make managing an offshore or nearshore team difficult. Some people have trouble with language and culture. Others stumble over the constant replacement of team members.

But the earth spins on its access at 1038 miles an hour and your team is still on the other side of the planet. You can lose a full day just by answering general questions. If you want to talk with your offshore co-workers, someone is going to be up late at night-either you or them. If you prefer to go with nearshoring, you can speak with your co-workers during your normal business hours. It’s up to you.

That is, of course if you don't have a QA Manager that can take care of all the management. Quite a few companies have started using "on-site" employees to manage the gap. We were one of the first to use a local QA Manager, and we think there's a difference.

There's No Time To Build Trust With My Software Regression Testing Team

If you understand the benefits and the pitfalls of SQA services, you stepped into trusting yourself with the right decision. Once you've chosen a reputable partner, you should be confident that you've made a responsible and measured choice.

 

Find out how you can make the right choice the first and only time.
