Testing is a very crucial element of software development life cycle.  A well tested application, product or service is always successful. According to a study by National Institute of Standards and Technology, US, the consequences of testing errors amount to tens of billions of dollars. In addition, the cost of correcting errors detected at a later stage in software development lifecycle increases exponentially.

Organizations globally are going in for independent testing in a big way with a view to reduce time to market, time to release an application and get an overall reduction in the cost of ownership. The last two years have seen independent software testing services from India growing at a rapid pace of more than 100% and this trend is expected to continue over the next five years. Gartner estimates the global software testing market at $13 bn at the end of 2010. A META Group Study reveals that the testing business in India was $200 mn in 2003-04 and this could increase to $700 mn-$1 bn by the year 2007.
