Outsourced Managed Testing Services
Software Testing has become a highly specialised service. Managed Service partnerships deliver real value, far beyond just providing a resource.
SCALABLE. EFFICIENT. PEACE OF MIND
Testing has become a highly-specialised function of software development, requiring a steep investment in skills and training. Fortunately, these skills are now available through a managed service from established and experienced service providers. Leveraging business and software development staff for testing is not ideal, as they don’t necessarily have the focus and skills to test at the required level.

OUR APPROACH TO OUTSOURCED MANAGED TESTING SERVICES
Reduce the cost of recruitment, upskilling and training
Even companies that have their own testing competency face challenges with recruiting the testing skills they need.
Recruitment can be difficult in itself, but then companies have to start nurturing, upskilling and managing those people, and incur overhead costs like seating and insurance, so the cost of ownership of skills, so to speak, can be high.
Dedicated resources
We dedicate a team of testers to a client, who will then be integrated into the company culture and learn the specifics of the project they’ve been recruited for.
Hiring and training your own staff to work on specific projects can be costly but can also run into unforeseen issues like staff churn. We can switch people in and out of a project without incurring any delays and minimal impact to client delivery.
Peace of mind
Companies can be far more confident that whatever testing they do is done to the highest standard using modern methodologies, and the risk is shared between themselves and Inspired Testing.
Research and development costs
It takes time and research to keep abreast of modern testing technologies, tools and methodologies. We maintain an ongoing investment in R&D, and the value is passed on to the client.
More efficient management
We take over all aspects of people management and skills development, and the cost to the client is then limited to testing.
Scalability
Rapid onboarding is both costly and risky. With a Managed Service clients can scale up or down quickly.
