What is TaaS?
Testing as a Service is a concept where a software company offers to provide the services of its QA/Testers to another company who want their product/service to be tested.
What issues do companies face?
Many companies focus on the development of their software, but do not plan the quality of the end- product leading to low/no acceptance by the audience it is intended for. Another reason is that these companies may not have enough bandwidth in terms of resources/finances to hire a fulltime QA/Testing team.
How does TaaS address this?
TaaS assumes complete ownership of the QA/Testing process beyond just the software development phase letting development team focus on what they do best.
QA/Testing team supports the development team to resolve defects at all stages of the software development process. This results in a more stable solution and helps to gain customers’ acceptance.
How TaaS is beneficial than conventional model?
TaaS model works best for start-ups and small businesses who have limited funds to hire a fulltime QA team yet want their solution to be stable enough and easily scalable.
Medium or bigger businesses may have the resources and financial bandwidth, yet fully or partially outsourcing the Testing part to remote teams can reduce the Go-to-market time by leveraging the time zone differences.

Cost Impact
It has been generally observed that bugs that are found during the development and or User Acceptance
Testing (UAT) normally add 5% additional cost vis-à-vis 30%-35% addition in costs when identified in production phase. So, it’s Testing should be more seen as an investment than an expense.
Cost Saving
TaaS is offered as a hybrid (Onsite-n-Offshore) model so blended costing is 25% less than the traditional software testing by leveraging the time zone difference.
Return on Investment (RoI)
User experience is big fact of software adoption – statistics show that bug free software have 30% or more chance of user adoption than a buggy software. On the contrary, users lose interest in using software that throws up bugs especially in the initial few steps.
Testimonials along with Statistics Situation – Entertainment Oxygen, a company based in Hollywood, California had engaged KTSPL to test the EO app to make it stable.
Critical Issues – The mobile app had quite a few defects that was resulting in a poor customer experience and development team was spending a lot of time fixing the defects instead of spending the valuable time in integrating the features.
Solution – Along with an onsite coordinator, KTSPL offshore team devised a Testing Strategy for testing the app on iOS and Android versions. The QA team reported defects in builds and those were then resolved by the Development team, who in turn passed over a build with resolved defects. KTSPL QA team was assigned the responsibility and authority to allow the app version to be pushed to production.
Leveraging on the time zone advantage, the cycle of defect reporting-resolving and re-testing happened at a quicker rate and development team was able to focus on the development part.
Results – KTSPL QA team was able to find around 25 critical, 39 medium and 80 low level bugs in production environment for Apple and Android versions of app thus enabling the app to become more stable.
