The testing project was chosen by the client due to problems with team integration, inflexible staffing (variable work loads), lack of formal knowledge and of course issues of cost reductions. Some alternatives had been evaluated by the client including on-shore and off-shore solutions. After a long evaluation process and some bad experiences with previous off-shore projects, the client selected Qualitest’s On-site Managed Service Solution (OMSS) upon seeing the advantages of being close to the development teams.
