Leveraging Global Talent for Effective Test Agility

In this presentation from the 2012 Agile Conference, we discuss the corporate mandate to utilize offshore outsourcing for testing and development processes. We explore how a cohesive testing strategy, combined with an understanding of the unique strengths and constraints of global teams in locations like India, Romania, and Vietnam, can lead to successful outcomes. Key challenges, such as high-performance computing and testing simulation software, are addressed. We conclude that automation, a clear testing strategy, and viewing outsourcing partners as collaborators are essential for maintaining velocity and efficiency.
