QA Outsourcing

• Are you looking to have your QA and Testing managed by a company that specializes in Quality Assurance?
• Do you need a flexible resource pool that can respond to constantly changing workloads and skill requirements?
• Do you need a pragmatic, practical QA vendor that is committed to delivering cost-effective QA and Testing services and is committed to reducing your overall Cost of Quality?

We can deliver a complete outsourcing solution for your Quality Assurance and Testing. What can you expect?

1. Reduced Cost of Quality – The Total Cost of Quality is a combination of the cost of Quality Assurance and the ultimate cost of defects. We deliver high-quality, reasonably priced Quality Assurance services that are cost-effective.
2. True Status of Releases – Our best practices are designed around a risk-based approach to testing that, when applied across your SDLC will provide you with unparalleled visibility into the status of your releases.
3. Specialized QA Services – You can be certain that the data, reports, and status you receive from us will be delivered by a professional Quality Assurance team.
4. Flexibility – Our flexible, real-world approach ensures you get the right amount of QA you need

QA Project Teams

• Are your Managers spending too much time on-boarding and off-boarding QA staff?
• Do you need a QA Team that has special skills you don't possess in-house?
• Do you have temporary testing needs that you would like to hand-off to a qualified management team?
• Would you like to introduce new and improved QA and testing processes within the framework of a project team?
• Do you need to have some or all of the testing performed off-site?

TEKsystems' QA and Testing Center of Excellence can assemble, deliver and manage your QA and testing team. We offer powerful, flexible alternatives that will meet all of your testing objectives:

1. Test Team – All of our testing solutions start with QA and Testing professionals, trained and experienced in the specific requirements of your project. We employ
   
   • QA Leads and Managers
   • QA Analysts
   • QA Engineers
   • QA Automation Engineers
   • QA Performance Engineers
2. On-Site/Off-Site/Off-Shore – QA and Testing nearly always requires on-site presence, so we have developed and successfully implemented processes that can seamlessly utilize part of the team residing off-site at our labs in the U.S., near-shore, or off-shore.
3. Deliverables - We Manage or You Manage – We can manage the team while you manage assignments and deliverables or, if you prefer, we will assume responsibility for controlling QA and testing projects, working closely with your Project Management and reporting status to you.
4. Your Process or Our Process (Or a Blend) – We can adopt your existing testing standards and procedures or we can use modules from our Progressive V-Model methodology. If you like, we can use your procedures and provide you with suggestions for streamlining your processes as we use them in the project.
5. Your Tools or Our Tools – We have expertise in all major QA and testing tools. If you do not have Test Management, Defect Tracking, Test Automation or Performance Testing tools, we can help you license them or we can often lease them for the project.

In addition, QA Project Teams are supervised by a QA Manager assigned from TEKsystems' QA and Testing Center of Excellence Office of QA (OQA). Before, during and after each project, the assigned QA Manager is actively involved in evaluating the process, skills, and resources to help ensure quality QA. Through the OQA, each project has access to TEKsystems' QA and Testing Center of Excellence methodology, tool experts, a strong knowledge base, and best practices. TEKsystems' QA and Testing Center of Excellence OQA helps ensure your satisfaction through its involvement in planning and reviews. The services of our OQA are provided at no extra cost to you.
