Software Development Case Studies
Challenges
Given today’s software development methodology, software teams need to be adaptable to scale and adjust talent pool. Product developers may prefer to be involved in upfront design and strategic aspects of the project and require backup on areas out of their specialty. Some products have seasonal or short-term product ship deadlines. In this case it makes sense to have another team come in and execute flawlessly, to keep them focused on the projects that are more mainstream and core to their organization.

Quality Assurance Case Studies
Challenges
Creating a cultural balance between QA and software production staff is key to maintaining high product quality. As an organization scales, augmenting QA team with consultants is often a no-brainer. Inhouse developers don’t want to take on mundane QA tasks instead preferring to address issues such as usability or performance. Also, for teams who have been close to product development, it makes sense to have another separate test team to ensure that quality standards have been met. A great web or software experience is based on a fully integrated QA culture.
MindSource Solutions
We provide several options for clients to maintain the balance between in-house capabilities and capabilities of short term staffing. With over a thousand QA engagements we are experts in this niche market. We provide regular full-time staff, hourly consultant, and or offshore/nearshore solutions in a reliable and cost-effective manner.
