Choosing a model
Three good ways to get QA done
Each fits a different situation. Outsourcing by the task works best when you know what needs testing and when you need it finished.
Building an in-house QA team
The right long-term choice once QA needs are large and steady. It takes time to recruit and onboard, and works best with an established quality process to join.
Staff augmentation
Useful when you want extra people working under your own management, day to day, with your team directing the work.

FAQ
QA outsourcing questions
How do I outsource QA testing to Afoxlabs?
Send a short description of the work through the contact form or by email. Within two business days you receive a written scope, a committed delivery date and a fixed quote. Once you approve it and access is set up, the work begins.
How much does it cost to outsource QA?
It depends on the work, and you always know the number before anything starts. Every task gets a fixed quote tied to its deliverables and delivery date — there are no hourly rates and no per-person billing.
Which QA tasks are best to outsource?
Work with a clear definition of done: testing a feature, running a regression cycle, building API or UI automation, setting up a framework, wiring tests into CI, or performance testing. These can be scoped precisely, which is what makes a committed date possible.
Is it safe to outsource software testing?
Yes, with the right controls. We work under NDA with least-privilege access, synthetic or masked data by default, and every artefact delivered into your own repositories. The specific controls are written into each statement of work.
Can an outsourced QA team work inside our sprints?
Yes. With Sprint-by-Sprint Delivery, we agree the QA deliverables at the start of each of your sprints and deliver them by its end, working in your tracker, repository and CI.
Do you work with companies in the US, UK and Europe?
Yes. We are based in India and plan working-hour overlap with US and European teams. Hours and response windows are written into the statement of work.
How quickly can you start?
You receive the scope, date and quote within two business days of sharing the work. Delivery starts as soon as you approve it and access is in place.
