eTestware June Round Up
This week we thought we would take a moment to reflect upon the month of June. Our eTestware June round up reveals another interesting one for our software testing experts here on theICEway. It’s not that we don’t have anything interesting to say right now, more an opportunity to play catch-up for those of you who might have missed some of the valuable tips and insights we shared (not that any of you will have missed a single post, of course)!
June 4th – the eTestware Core Values
To outsource software testing or not to outsource software testing, that is the question; the experts at eTestware have always leant towards the former, but we do appreciate that it is a big step to take.

June 18th – Tips on documentation
Ever the helpful bunch, last week the eTestware team offered some hints on how best to provide clear and concise documentation for the creation and execution of test cases. After all, any successful testing project needs this!
So there you have it, our eTestware June Round Up. We hope you will agree that it’s been another rollercoaster ride in the theme park that is outsourced software testing!
