TEAM International announces the launch of our new QIQ Assessment Tool, designed to assist companies with in-house QA and testing teams to measure the maturity and effectiveness of their software development QA and Testing processes and capabilities.
“The Statistics support our decision to build a separate QA & Testing offering” said Chris Walton, President of Team International. “In early 2005, we decided to separate our software development teams from our QA & Testing teams in order to increase the quality of our deliverables to our clients. Our clients loved it and we expanded our offering as a stand alone capability” said Chris.
According to a CIO survey, finding and fixing bugs accounts for almost 50 percent of the total cost of a software project. The same survey reveals that the migration of the QA & Testing function to an offshore third party can save companies up to 75 percent compared to in-house costs. Another survey conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) finds that US companies spend as much as $60 billion on fixing software defects at the post-release stage. This study also reveals that third party QA & Testing could have saved companies nearly $20 billion had they focused on quality early in the software development life cycle.
TEAM encourages all organizations that take our QIQ Quiz to get a better understanding of potential areas for improvement.
