In-House QA Management and Team

Opting for a fully in-house ERP testing model gives you full control over the QA process. Your internal team can tailor test automation strategies and tool selections to match your ERP system’s specific requirements. However, this model comes with challenges such as:

  • Managing complex ERP testing nuances
  • Balancing manual and automated test coverage
  • Ensuring your chosen frameworks are compatible with your ERP landscape

In-House QA Management with External (Partial or Full) QA Team

This hybrid model offers cost optimization and access to vendor-tested ERP QA practices. External QA professionals bring industry-standard tools and established testing workflows to the table, while your in-house QA manager retains process alignment and oversight. Key benefits include:

  • Reduced onboarding time due to vendor expertise
  • Access to advanced test automation skills
  • Flexibility in scaling the QA team as needed

Fully Outsourced QA Management and Team

Outsourcing both QA management and execution delivers maximum convenience and cost efficiency. Vendors provide a dedicated ERP QA team skilled in test automation, regression testing, and compliance reporting. This model enables:

  • End-to-end ERP testing with minimal internal resource use
  • Access to up-to-date QA tools and methodologies
  • Efficient defect tracking and resolution processes
