Common QA Questions:

What are the pitfalls, risks, and hardships related to common QA tasks and testing?	Quality Assurance and testing are often the under emphasized components of project or process lifecycle despite the significant ROI that can be generated from a robust QA program. The damage is often done when an overall Quality Assurance framework is not established or when the QA process is initiated late in the project cycle. Common QA pitfalls are: lack of appropriate technologies to manage and execute the QA process; insufficient time provided for QA and testing; and lack of skilled resources for QA planning and test execution.
Why should you outsource some or all of the QA program to focused QA firms, as opposed to handle in- house?	Although most firms have in-house QA capability, there are significant benefits in partnering with specialized QA practitioners to enhance and augment internal QA efforts. These focused firms provide proven state of the art technologies, frameworks and methodologies coupled with execution options that can be tailored to your specific environment, business goals, and production targets. Not only do these firms provide scalability and flexibility, they also provide critical 'independence' - An important element of any QA program. The net gain is knowledge transfer of best practices and cost efficiencies from a firm where QA is 'their' business.
What can be gained from an advanced, successful QA program?	The benefits of an integrated QA program are numerous: predictable production of your products and releases; reduced cost of re-work; speed to market; skilled support for lean IT departments; credibility with your customers; reduced risk; increased customer satisfaction; and an enhanced asset value of your portfolio. In short, a compelling proposition for streamlined business operations, processes, and transactions.
