Why Onshore QA is a must

After working with offshore team, I found it impossible to get a good quality product without presence of a QA guy. QA is a critical part of development process. It is definately needed when team is located offshore. Here are some mistakes that companies make.


1. No Bug Tracking.

2. No Criteria defined for release of software. Your client/audience is completely oblivious of what product will look like.

3. You dont start testing earlier in the phase.

4. You dont do stress testing or load testing.

5. You think unit testing is enough.

6. You wait till beta to start testing.

7. You dont test different testing environment like OS & Browser variations.


Thats all for now. I will try to focus on how to get started with offshore including sample document/specs that you can send to offshore team.
