Download the table of contents
As more and more companies outsource the quality assurance (QA) and testing of their software products today – be it right down the street or halfway around the world – we have concrete proof that software quality issues drive international sales of those products. Achieving high quality localized products at a reasonable price – and within a reasonable timeframe – requires sustained effort and knowledge on the part of service buyers.
To support you in this process, we have put together some of the latest data available from Taking Software to the World: Results of the LISA Global Software Survey and from members of the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA). Companies such as Grisoft, IBM, Symantec and WhP share their experiences, along with their implemented best practices, in the area of QA outsourcing.
