Inadequate testing process accounts for outsourcing letdown, says survey
In recent times, there has been a concern regarding the 'failure' of several outsourced projects. A recent study conducted by the testing company IS Integration and the National Outsourcing Association has identified poor testing as the prime cause of such problems. In a press release carried by vnunet.com, the study has also pointed to the inadequate allocation of funds to build testing facilities as the root cause of poor testing.
The survey revealed that testing is not implemented rigorously.

Some industries are subjected to strict government scrutiny, and testing is of sublime importance in such cases. vnunet.com reports on some statistics from the survey:

Some 62% of outsourcing professionals also believed that insufficient financial backing was given to testing.
