How much can I spend on testing and explicit quality assurance (QA) steps?
QA is often left to GILT solutions providers and considered part of localization. When they are provided with adequate time, support and resources, this may be an acceptable method for dealing with QA issues. However, when quality specifications are not covered in contracts and supported by the client, QA levels may not match your expectations and demands. QA expectations should be specified in advance and given adequate time in project planning.
