What You Get

Onshore Software Testing 

On the surface, offshore outsourcing seems too good to be true.  That’s because it is.  There are numerous hidden costs and pitfalls that can significantly inflate the “low costs” of offshore providers and run your software initiatives into the ground.

Hidden expenses like communication issues, security risks, productivity lags, and quality issues cause the total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) of offshore providers to skyrocket—sinking ROI and running software initiatives into the ground.

That’s why so many businesses turn to Lighthouse Rural Software Testing—the high-quality alternative to offshore software testing.  Our proprietary sourcing model enables us to field a team of industry-certified software testing professionals located right here in the US—at the same or lower total cost than you’d pay offshore.  When you choose onshoring with Lighthouse, you get a team that collaborates well, attacks problems head-on, and ensures nothing is lost in translation.
