Today, nearly every business runs on software in some capacity—from online retail and restaurants to financial institutions and streaming devices. Software impacts the daily lives of customers in ways that most take for granted… that is until that software fails. According to the Consortium for Information and Software Quality, software bugs are estimated to cost companies at least $2.41 trillion in losses. And that doesn’t even factor in the damage to reputation!
To avoid software failures, companies have made it a priority to integrate robust software testing into their workflow. Software testing services not only ensure a seamless flow in software functionality, but they also improve the overall user experience. This article will discuss some of the factors involved in choosing the right software testing partner for your company. We will consider 7 top software testing companies along with what they can offer you.
In our research, we looked at hundreds of software testing companies located across the globe. While many had locations listed in the U.S., most of those companies operate in offshore countries, which is important to consider as you weigh communication alignment, data privacy, and cost balancing with your teams. With that in mind, and in the spirit of transparency, we have provided criteria that are vital when selecting a testing company. In no particular order, we have included companies and their profile specifics, including years of experience, location, and core services.

The Testing Minds Process Puts You First
Requirements Gathering: Initial planning to determine the nature of the engagement at a high level. During this phase, we define what needs testing, the depth of the testing, and the timeframe for the project.
Scope Requirements and Skills: Our team conducts a thorough review of your software requirements to build a baseline for our proposal development. In this phase, our goal is to determine the type of testing and the level of testing required, identify if automation is recommended, get insight into the number of test cases required for manual testing, and plan for the quality assurance skills needed to complete the testing effort.
Formal Proposal: After assessing your requirements, we develop a formal proposal that outlines the strategy. The estimate specifies which items are included in the scope of testing, the deliverables to be provided, the platforms we will be testing on, and the total cost estimate of the project.
Establish Project Team: Once the proposal is approved, we ensure your QA testing project is fully staffed with the right people for the effort. Depending on the size of the project, your team will consist of members with diverse skill sets and abilities. All Testing Minds team members are located in the United States but can complement this onshore QA testing with offshore testing resources to meet specific project needs and specifications.
Kick-off: Once the team is established, we hold a kick-off meeting to discuss and verify several key components of the workflow, including roles and responsibilities, project timelines, deliverables, procedures, communication tools and flow, as well as defect reporting procedures.
Testing: The project team cycles through the testing effort as defined in the proposal. Depending on the scope, your project may include test automation or functional, performance, compatibility, usability, and/or other testing tactics as defined by your goals. The testing process also includes these steps:
We meet regularly during the testing process to validate results and ensure the systems meet the pre-established requirements.
We provide you with continual reporting to allow for immediate test results and regression testing.
We guarantee our work efforts, ensuring our clients are more than satisfied with the performance.
Test Closure: While projects are often ongoing, if one comes to a close, we will deliver a final version of the test documents, including full defect and progress reports.
At Testing Minds, we are passionate about helping companies release outstanding, high-quality software, and we stand behind our work 100%. We are so confident in our software testing services that we guarantee your engagement with us will be successful – or we will make it right at our expense. We also understand outsourcing software testing can be a big undertaking that involves some initial mystery with existing software testing staff or developers, and so we are pleased to offer a pilot program so companies can experience how our software testing teams and solutions work.
