To develop software successfully, you need to get the system requirements right. However, getting the requirements right is a challenge. There are common mistakes made during requirements testing.
Changes to File & Document Format. Due to unknown reason, many beginner testers tend to destroy an original document by replacing the text with tables (or vice versa), converting data from Word to Excel, etc. It can be done only when you agreed to this modification with a creator of the document. Otherwise, you just damage someone’s work, and it may involve serious problem such as difficulties for the further development of the document. That is why many organizations choose to outsource QA than to do the work they do not specialize.
The worth thing to do with the document is saved it in a particular file format designed rather for reading than editing. (PDF, JPEG, etc.) If requirements document is created in some requirements management system, then it is not a problem since most customers are used to seeing high-level requirements specified in DOCX format, but Microsoft Word allows to track changes made to the document. As a result, the original format remains unchanged (its creator likes to have it as it is), all changes are clearly seen and can be approved or disapproved using double-clicking the mouse, but frequent common issues can be mentioned in comments and placed on a single list or in the same document.
QA outsourcing services are widely used by small, medium and large businesses. They are simply invaluable because someone else does your work for you allowing you to monitor all the process. At that requirements testing is usually performed by skilled specialists who have the wealth of experience in requirements elicitation, collection, analysis and recording.

Be Aware of Two Quick but Unpleasant Facts Relating Tables:
- Aligning a whole text in the table to center. Yes, center aligned titles and cell of the table with 2-3 words look nice, but if the full text is center aligned it becomes difficult to read.
- Turning off boundaries of a table’s cells. Such a table is much harder to read.
Best software testing companies look to help their clients to ensure the highest quality releases. Therefore, they provide a variety of testing and QA services. Successful projects begin with top-notch requirements, and only thorough verification can be the guarantee that they are fulfilled correctly.
