Is test automation IT outsourcing part of your long-term strategy? The hourly cost is a bad indicator for savings
Benefits of IT nearshoring in Canada versus off-shoring.
The short-term costs contain a number of hidden expenditures. Consider the amount of rework, script maintenance, communication, expertise, proximity, and management costs that are often not included in your original budgets and result in overages and project failures. Don’t be misled by the low cost of the work; it is more likely to be unfit to deliver high-quality results.
The largest undisclosed cost is often rework. This usually results in additional unplanned spending amounting to approximately 11% of the entire project.
According to Forrester Research, 30% of project costs are for rework, and, according to Meta Group, 70% of rework is attributed to correcting requirements errors.
