The Pros and Cons of Independent Software Testing

Those in a nutshell are the advantages and disadvantages of Independent Software Testing.
Just to recap the advantages once again:

Project/Department level benefits through better Testing & Quality Results:

·         Unbiased and fresh view which reveals defects that can't be detected otherwise, but can be crucial for the market success of the software product

·         Strict adherence to customer's (not development vendor's) business goals and objectives

·         Independence of a development team so that they are unable to influence testing results

·         Substantial decrease of risks (e.g., unrealised cost reduction, unrealised quality promises) in outsourcing software development projects

·         Access to the scarce/expensive talents or vertical expertise

·         Access to innovations and large Knowledge Base

·         In-house testing processes improvement

Overall Cost and organizational level benefits:

·         Focus on core business activities, money is freed up for investment in business expansion or revenue-producing activities

·         Economy of capital investment: saving on test environment / tools purchasing and maintenance. Saving of office space, no need to hire, train, fire additional employees in the peaks of testing activities

·         Difference in personnel wages and infrastructure costs in different countries (Offshoring, as an option becomes available through testing services provider)

·         Better customer satisfaction, more revenue, higher ROI

·         More appeal for investors
