Guide Helps Companies Find the Right QA Partner for their Unique Needs
Denver, CO, December 08, 2016 --(PR.com)-- iBeta Quality Assurance, a leading full-service software
quality, security, performance, and biometrics testing lab has released the eBook 7 Questions to Ask
Outsourced QA Service Providers for download at:
http://www.ibeta.com/download-7-question-ask-qa-service-providers/.
The 7 Questions eBook was written to be a practical tool for mid- and high-level technology company
managers to help them successfully select the right quality assurance partner from a diverse service
provider marketplace. The book describes the four categories of QA service providers (Crowdsourced,
Offshore, IT Generalist, and QA Specialist), and analyzes their relative merits through the lens of seven
questions that a buyer should ask:
1. Who does your testing?
2. Can I talk to you?
3. Can you keep up?
4. How much will I have to do for you?
5. Can you work with our tools?
6. Do you have the gear?
7. Can you help me achieve my business and technical goals?
7 Questions was written in response to a confluence of factors this year:

makers to name a few - that, together, reveal an overall pattern of quality slippages. The pattern raises
questions such as:
- Are organizations struggling more than is generally understood to incorporate Agile, DevOps, and other
high-speed development strategies, i.e. letting the need for speed compromise quality?
- Are organizations misapplying concepts such as Minimum Viable Product which can become
pseudo-strategic justifications for minimum work effort?
- Are organizations running aground on the inherent limitations of test automation technology and
discovering (as iBeta has long known) that there are consequences to over-reliance on automation
technology?
- Are organizations also relearning the lessons of what happens when companies bring inside functions or
processes that are outside core competencies, e.g. Samsung trying to internally certify battery tech on the
