More and more companies look

into independent testing and the

offerings of an increasing number

of service providers mature.

It seems that independent testing

is shaping as a separate market

segment.

Frank J.H. Ridder,

Research Director IT Sourcing, Gartner

Productivity improvements and

ensuring that IT systems perform

effectively are the main priorities

of company and IT managers.

Systematic software testing is a

key factor for everybody who wants

to achieve these objectives. Mark McDonald,

There are three ways for testing on projects: Using

a “pure play Test Specialist” is the most efficient way.

Advantages through Test Specialists

«

Much of the recent growth in outsourced application services has been fueled

by customers engaging independent testing services where the development

provider is separate from the provider performing the testing. Bill Martorelli, Forrester Research

Two System Integrators (SI)

System Integrator (SI) and pure play Test Specialist (TS)

~75% Development

Advantages Purchaser only deals with one party

SI 1 and SI 2 are separated Parties can work trustfully on the same objectives

Disadvantages General Contractor mark the own work

Two contracts

Working on the same ob-jectives can be a problem as many SI’s use testing as a back door entrance to development work
