Managed QA delivery that scales with your programme — without scaling your headcount.

IQspeaks provides managed testing teams with UK and India delivery capability. Senior IQspeaks oversight on every engagement. Not unsupervised offshore resource.

The Problem

When testing capacity is the problem…

Some quality problems are strategic. Others are simply a matter of capacity — not enough testing resource to match the pace of delivery, or the cost of building and maintaining an in-house team outweighing its benefit. Testing as a Service solves the capacity and cost problem without sacrificing oversight or quality.

  • The situations we see most often
  • • Delivery pace has outgrown the in-house QA team
  • • A major programme or release requires more capacity than you have
  • • You’ve tried offshore QA before and been disappointed by the quality
  • • Your testing team is spending time on execution when it should be on strategy
  • • You need to scale up quickly and then scale back down
  • What most providers get wrong
  • ✗ Junior offshore resource with no senior oversight
  • ✗ Handover of templates and frameworks but no actual quality guarantee
  • ✗ No accountability for outcomes — only effort
  • ✗ Slow onboarding that eats into the time you needed saving
  • ✗ UK account management, India delivery, no bridge between them

How It Works.

Senior oversight. Scalable execution. Transparent pricing.

IQspeaks provides managed testing teams built from our India and UK delivery capability. Every engagement includes senior iQspeaks governance — a designated senior associate is accountable for quality on your project. You get the cost efficiency of India delivery with the strategic assurance of UK senior oversight.

UK delivery

Fully onshore UK team. Best for regulated environments, security-sensitive programmes, or where client preference requires UK resource.

Hybrid

UK senior lead + India execution. Most popular model. Delivers the strategic assurance of UK seniority with the cost efficiency of India delivery.

India delivery

Most cost-efficient. India-based engineers with senior IQspeaks oversight. Best for high-volume, well-defined testing programmes.

All engagements include: weekly status calls, quality gate reviews, escalation management and monthly executive reporting. You are never getting unsupervised resource.

WHO IT’S FOR

Testing as a Service works best when…

A good fit ✓

✓ You need additional QA capacity but not permanent headcount
✓ You’re running a defined programme with a clear scope
✓ You want cost efficiency without sacrificing quality assurance
✓ You’ve had bad experiences with offshore QA and need a model with senior oversight
✓ You need to scale capacity up quickly and then back down

Probably not the right fit ✗

✗ You need strategic QA leadership, not execution — see Fractional QA Director
✗ You have a vague or undefined scope that hasn’t been assessed yet — start with a QA HealthCheck
✗ You need a single contractor embedded in your team day-to-day

Tell us about your programme and we’ll scope a delivery model.

No commitment at this stage — just a conversation about what’s possible.
