These programs and mediums are by no means a comprehensive listing of all of that we have to offer, but merely a review of the QA services most commonly requested. We invite you to contact us and learn more about our Quality Assurance Services and what Hudson can do for you!
Why outsource your Quality Assurance testing?
Objectivity
When a programmer tests his own work, he won’t see the things he’s forgotten to fix, because if he knew to include those areas in testing, those errors wouldn’t have made it into the software at all.
Time
Software developers frequently complain of overwork and struggle to meet deadlines. With an outsourced group focusing their efforts on testing, developers are free to work where you really need them: making fixes.
Equipment
Often, developers are limited in the number of different operating systems or devices they can use to test. An outsourced quality assurance partner has the ability to test in a variety of environments.
``It's hard enough to find a defect in your code when you're looking for it; it's even harder when you assume your code is error-free.``
Steve McConnell, Code Complete, Second Edition 2004, p. 540
Decades of Experience
Although Hudson Software is primarily known for being a leading provider of Technical Support Outsourcing, our Quality Assurance services have been around even longer. We have over 30 years’ experience providing outsourced QA testing for a variety of software products, including mobile applications, websites, and installable programs.
Software development presents a unique set of challenges. Our goal in Quality Assurance testing is to help you navigate the later phases of development. Our testing will give you the information you need to evaluate the product your developers submit, to manage their efforts and prioritize changes. We design our test plan with your products and your end users in mind.
A Trusted Third-Party
Whether you are working with a third party developer or an internal development team, we will act as an objective 3rd party, advising you on the project. We can help you to create a specification or set of system requirements that meets industry standards, or verify that the build your developers have delivered meets the specs you’ve provided. We can test the software in a range of environments to help you understand what different users may experience- checking your older software for problems that may occur on the newest systems, or checking updated software on older systems. We can recommend process changes, create test plans for your internal staff to use for future releases, or consult on other ways to improve your development efforts.
We know that you will be receiving our report while working close to deadlines; we strive to deliver our results in a format that works best for you, whether that means working in your internal bug reporting database or providing a comprehensive report with executive level summary.
