The document discusses different outsourcing models for software testing. It recommends a blended model that uses a combination of offshore, onshore, and onsite testing resources to minimize risks while maintaining effectiveness and cost savings. This approach improves communication, knowledge transfer, and project management while reducing costs compared to solely using offshore resources. The document provides considerations for selecting outsourcing partners and implementing outsourcing arrangements.
This document provides an overview of key problems with traditional inspections and how a web-based software tool can help address these problems. It discusses nine major issues with inspections, such as reviewers disliking paper forms and difficulties with distributed teams. The document then describes how an inspection application could provide electronic forms, allow collaboration from any location, give authors visibility into issues before meetings, provide oversight for management and moderators, and help streamline the inspection process overall through automation. The tool is proposed as a knowledge management system to guide users through each stage of inspections.
