What is professional test outsourcing?

This image shows the different manifestations of test outsourcing.
Test outsourcing in its various forms: From manual test execution to result monitoring.

Partnership-based division of labor with professionals for fast benefits and lasting success.

With test outsourcing, you outsource a special service to create internal capacities and ultimately work more productively and effectively. Outsourcing software testing in software development makes sense for the following reasons, among others:

  • External providers are neutral and objective testing instances that have an objective view of your project.
  • Costly employee resources are relieved by the outsourcing of work steps.
  • Access to specialists is guaranteed in every project.
  • Projects can be successfully completed faster and more effectively through the division of labor.
  • You can concentrate on your core competence and do not need to purchase additional infrastructure for testing.

With the imbus outsourcing service offering, we bundle customizable core services. This means that, depending on your wishes, imbus will take over project responsibility to a scalable extent, such as for simple manual test execution or up to results monitoring. We offer service packages within the framework of functional testing, cyber security, performance testing, as well as a variety of options for test automation and mobile app testing, including the associated infrastructure. Our "device pool" of mobile devices comprises approx. 85% of the smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc. currently used on the market.

Our outsourcing offer offers our customers a decisive advantage: They can decide for themselves how much project responsibility they want to outsource and how much should be controlled themselves.

Characteristics of the test outsourcing service packages

We have a clear idea of what a service should look like. This saves time and provides our customers with what is difficult to grasp with other providers: clearly defined service packages. Using a structured and transparent service description, we tailor our service packages to your needs and constraints. The service description includes information about the responsibility level, our service components, service metrics, service levels and the core/flex model for scaling resources.

Assumption of responsibility according to "Responsibility Level

The degree of responsibility is controlled by the Responsibility Level, which determines how much responsibility you as the client or we as the service provider take for the test conception and budget usage in the test.

From the simple deployment of TestCenter employees under the control of the customer, to test management, to project completion in accordance with your risk-oriented budget optimization: The entire setup is carried out together with the customer, so that the total package is tailored to your needs.

Scalable solutions with well controllable team sizes

We take on tasks for a wide range of team sizes in the form of our Testing Services: For each customer project, we provide a dedicated, competent core team that is available to you for the entire project period. This ensures that expertise is retained throughout your project and that additional experts can be brought in more easily. This core team is supplemented with further test experts from the flexible pool as required, resulting in high cost efficiency for you. This is because the increase in knowledge increases the productivity of the teams and thus also their efficiency. Because more testing means more quality for our customers, while costs remain the same or even decrease.

Cost reduction potential & flexibility

In addition to increased efficiency and test automation, the relocation of test activities to an imbus Delivery Center offers the possibility to reduce the costs of a service and to react very flexibly to fluctuations in demand. Our TestCenter in Möhrendorf has an extended workbench with the Delivery Center in Eastern Europe at the Peja site, which makes more flexibility possible. Depending on your needs, the core team can be strengthened with additional personnel resources in this way. Based on our experience and in line with your requirements, we ensure a balanced mix of resources.

Test outsourcing with transparency and security

Binding service levels guarantee that our test services are transparent to you at all times on the basis of objective parameters and that we achieve our joint improvement targets. As a rule, services are defined on a task basis in "Units of Work" that are precisely oriented to your project needs. The contract design for this offers all possibilities - from simple individual tasks according to "Time & Material" to agile contracts for work and services to long-term managed service agreements.
