Software Testing Outsourcing Myths

You will lose control to the outsourced team

There is usually a lack of knowledge about the role of the outsourced party in relation to the customer.

A great tester will speak up when they find out the processes to eliminate inefficiencies or suggest feature improvements, but they won't implement them without prior consent.

Many of those who oppose outsourcing fear that being in many locations will hamper communication and reduce fertility, but that's a misconception.
