Offshore Software Development: Ensuring Quality
Customers often receive software from offshore providers that appears acceptable at first glance but is riddled with defects. This usually happens because offshore teams, aiming to meet deadlines, may bypass a crucial phase of the software project life cycle ?" Testing.
To deliver high-quality applications, testing should occur at various stages of the project. During the coding phase, developers must create and thoroughly test Unit Test cases for their modules. Once coding concludes, the Quality Assurance (QA) team?"if available?"should execute System Test Cases, ensuring the application meets customer requirements.
Another method to enhance software project quality is through work product inspections. Each hour dedicated to quality assurance activities, such as design reviews, can save between 3 to 10 hours in downstream costs. A requirement defect left unaddressed until construction or maintenance can be 50 to 200 times more expensive to rectify than if identified earlier.
Inspections involve detailed technical peer reviews of software designs or implementations. Customers should request their offshore providers conduct inspections at every development or maintenance stage. These inspections effectively detect and correct defects in earlier work products, helping control project costs and schedules.
