Why India Is the Best Choice for QA Outsourcing

When nearshore QA providers are too costly and you don’t want to retain onsite test engineers for longer than you really need them, the best option is outsourcing. Today, there are many good providers based in Mexico, China and the UK. But when you need to absolutely sure that you’re getting a team of expert engineers at the right price, look no further than India. Why, you ask? Let’s go over just a few of the many reasons why India is today’s leader in the outsourced QA industry.

It’s built in to the culture
Programming is a sought-after career in the United States, so many talented engineers only use QA as a stepping stone on their way to full-time development. IT has been a huge part of India’s economy for decades and engineers are encouraged to pursue all of the available jobs in the industry, especially QA. For this reason, software testing is seen as a challenging and gratifying career path by many young engineers.
The Indian government has gone to great lengths to support the growth of the IT industry, naming its growth a top five priority and forming the National IT Task Force to help promote the training, certification and employment of students in the tech sector. As you can tell, India has a great competitive edge in QA outsourcing.

Domain expertise & rare skill sets
Being trained specifically for a career in QA helps engineers develop expansive skill sets that may be hard to find in U.S.-based teams. This includes automation expertise, domain knowledge and in-depth experience with the latest software testing tools. Indian teams, especially those at QASource, have access to fully outfitted testing labs containing every imaginable platform and OS configuration. Continuous training programs help Indian engineers keep their skills sharp and applicable.

Seamless communication & 24/7 testing
Worried about product details and test strategies getting lost in translation? English fluency is high in India, especially among those working in the IT and QA outsourcing industry. Access to the latest in digital communication (video/phone conferencing tools, email and chat) lets an offshore QA lead stay in constant contact with the onsite team so that any immediate issues can be addressed. The time difference between the U.S. and India also enables a 24/7 testing cycle --your developers write code during the day and your team in India tests it by night. You come into the office in the morning to fresh, accurate reports.
