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

One General Contractor (GC)
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
