Top 03 must-know mistakes to avoid choosing outsourcing software companies

More than 95% of senior managers of big scale companies are to outsource their IT product in 2019 according to "The Deloitte Global Outsourcing Survey 2018". However, it does exits the fact that customers usually find themselves make serious mistakes during the process of outsourcing their IT products. In this post, we are going over the most common ones and some suggested solutions to get over. 

Out of trend technology of the outsourcing partner:

Professionals app programmers prefer cutting-edge technologies to empower their working process and bring more benefits to their customers. So, when outsourcing your app, be sure to research the trending technologies for the industry that you are in. And also be sure that your oversea partners keep up with the flow of current technology. They at the same time should illustrate the benefits of using the new tech instead of the old ones.

In fact, not all the new technologies are better than the old ones, but at least they have something to be considered. Moreover, in the fast-changing world, using the same old technology for new software could cause significant cut off any time. And your end-users, sometimes yourself, will have to experience that. 

Capable tech manager’s absence:

Without an accompany of an expert in the field when carrying out the outsourcing project cause high possibility of encountering troubles. Oversea web development services doesn’t presuppose that you will place an order and get the exact expected result in a couple of months. Regular checks are essential. So if you are not ready to manage the project on a daily basis on your own, you need to have an internal person (e.g. product manager) responsible for that.

It is always important to have a focal point within your company – a tech-savvy person able to guide and assist with any issues that arise along the way. Don’t fail by not using the best practices of project management just because of the absence of PM.

Insufficiency of Testing or QA (Quality Assurance)

Software testing plays crucial part in ensuring the final product function in the way it is expected. So, integrating testing from the very initial stage keeps your final app from tons of bugs and improper functions. For most of the cases, the whole process of testing is mostly delegated to the outsourcing software development company to minimize the resources. This ends up in an unsatisfying outcome.

To at the same time save the resources and stay worry-free, the issues relevant to testing should be discussed thoroughly. Firstly, the process of testing and reporting bugs as well as the work of Quality Assurance engineer are to be completely agreed to from the very beginning of the contract. Secondly, the appropriate way in which bug reports are delivered should also be worked on. Thirdly, your oversea tech partners have to allow an access to the ticketing system so that you could have the full view of every report that is available. Finally, be sure that each and every bug detected receive sufficient consideration and appropriate fix.
