In these touch economic days, when most companies think and look to cut their QA department or have developers "test", now is instead the best time to double down and upscale your QA team.
Cutting back on QA not only opens up risk to overall product quality but it opens the door to Reputation risk. Now is not the time to cut back on the quality that clients have been accustomed to seeing. Because once the economic pendulum swings the other way, clients may look for the first opportunity to drop you as their Software Quality provider.
So look into allowing more senior staff to seek opportunities to not only showcase themselves through taking on tougher assignment but to allow them to grow new skills and develop their career path.
Research shows that companies who helped build the careers of their staff showed a higher retention rate.
Therefore, now is not the time to cut Quality Assurance but rather it's a time to build and grow.
