Summary: 

For many companies the lure of cutting costs by outsourcing, particularly with offshore software
development, is very tempting. Unfortunately, if handled incorrectly, the highly touted short-term savings can evaporate due to quality issues that ultimately result in higher maintenance and support costs. For the past few years Steve Splaine, an experienced project and test manager, has lived in a world where some development projects have been sent offshore to speed development.
To leverage cost savings while ensuring that quality is not compromised, his company has instituted a software development lifecycle that integrates in-house QA testing with outsourced, offshore development. Steve describes the development lifecycle that works at his company and explains the new audit role that his and other QA test groups fill. Learn about the special processes and critical
deliverables that make offshore development work with in-house QA testing.
