Onboard Penetration Testing Resources FAST

Produce High-quality Software on Time. Every Time.

Generating thoroughly tested, bug-free code can be costly, time-consuming, and challenging. But it doesn't have to be. For nearly 24 years, we have been singularly focused on providing offshore and nearshore QA penetration testing that consistently exceeds our customers’ expectations, generating the highest customer satisfaction scores in the industry.

How?
By concentrating on solving our customers' biggest outsourcing challenges:

  1. Rapid onboarding due to our extensive training programs
  2. Deep domain knowledge because of our extremely high staff retention rates
  3. Offshore teams that work like in-house teams due to communication protocols developed and perfected over many years and across hundreds of customers
  4. Seamless working relationships between in-house engineering and offshore QA testing teams because once an engineer is assigned to a team, that engineer is dedicated to that team for the duration of the engagement
  5. Testing expertise that can be relied upon due to our commitment to developing and applying industry-leading best practices

How We Do Penetration Testing

Our penetration testing is designed to perform security attacks on our client’s applications to exploit and check for vulnerabilities in their systems. The purpose is to uncover weak defense points so that they can be fixed before any major threat.

This testing is also known as pen testing or ethical hacking.

How we do penetration testing:

  1. Planning and reconnaissance: Goal, scope, and intelligence regarding the target are defined and analyzed.
  2. Scanning: Understanding of system behavior under various intrusion attempts is taken. We can do this with static scanning and/or dynamic scanning.
  3. Gaining Access: Web application attacks are performed to access the application by stealing user data, intercepting traffic, or privilege escalation. Web application attacks can be done by using cross-site scripting, SQL injections, and back-doors.
  4. Maintaining Access: Use a vulnerability to access and linger in an application to uncover ways to extract the organization’s sensitive information.
  5. Analysis and WAF Configuration: The results of the above testing steps are compiled in this stage and reported for:
    • Type of exploited vulnerability
    • Sensitive stolen information
    • Time spent in application undetected
  6. These details are analyzed by a security expert and WAF (Web Application Firewall) settings of an organization are then rebuilt and modified to fix the above threats.

Netsparker, Wireshark, and Aircrack are some of the pen testing tools that we use.

Why You Should Hire Us

Our proven approach combines extensive training, dedicated teams, and optimized communication protocols to quickly onboard new clients, deeply integrate with their development engineering teams, and maximize their output, quality, and speed.

Our Staff

To achieve this high level of quality and output, we make substantial investments in our staff, including rigorous onboarding processes, ongoing learning programs, work-life balance policies, and dedicated engineers for each client. The result is QASource’s industry-leading staff retention rates which reduce project disruption, retain legacy knowledge, and maximize productivity.

When we place a new engineer or team of engineers with a client, our teams are fully prepared to get to work on our clients’ projects with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to start making an impact immediately. And that team stays with the client for the duration of the contract, whether that be 8 months or 8 years.

“They have a lot of young talent. Well-trained talent. And they stay there for a long time, which is one of my key requirements as I want a team where I don’t need to replace staff every couple of months.” - CTO

Our Training Program

Our onboarding and training programs are second-to-none in the offshoring industry and based on the real-world experience servicing customers across all industries over the last 24 years. We are in the business of delivering quality engineering; that extends to our own internal processes which are constantly being updated as our clients’ businesses evolve.

“Anytime we have a new member that joins the team, I have complete confidence that the QASource team lead is going to be able to onboard them and get them up and running very quickly.” - Director of Quality Assurance

Our Expertise

Most of our clients utilize us as quality engineering subject matter experts. We don’t just wait to be told what to do. We get deeply involved in understanding our client’s needs and proactively addressing them.

“It's not just us handing over tasks and then getting it done, they're actually reaching out and asking questions and bringing up ideas and ways for us to improve those tools and things that we find very valuable. This level of collaboration is unlike anything we have experienced with other QA vendors.” - CEO

Our Processes

We work very hard to make our services as seamless as possible. We know how critical it is for development and quality engineers to work hand-in-hand and so we have honed inter-company communication protocols to a science. Clients constantly tell us that they don’t see us as an offshore resource but as a fully integrated extension of their own internal development teams.

This level of inter-company integration has significant real-world benefits. Deep trust is built between the teams. Communication overhead is reduced. Productivity is gained. Quality improves. Development cycles are sped up.

“QASource is bringing in not just technical talent, but also management and proper delivery of their work. As we go forward, outsourcing companies need to understand that technical skills are table stakes, but more mature organizations are going to look for an organizational kind of impact from the vendor also, and that makes sense.” - Director of Engineering
