    Outsourcing of testing

    Hypothetically, if I have a test script with say 1000 test cases and I can see I'm about to be offered a 2 week contract to actually do the testing and I really cannot be arsed, how do I get someone to do it for a pittance?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    Make me an offer. I'm not doing much at the moment.

                Only 1 connection? Given how brilliant he is surely we can give him a few connections.

                  I know of a few firms in Bangalore who'll guarantee that they'll pass all 1000 test cases for you.
                  And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

                    Never let the outsourced development firm pick the outsourced testing firm.

                    I never understand how clients fall for that trick.
