''As our clients affirm, there s a huge need for outsourced testing, especially given the abundance of third-party development now going on,'' said Steve Nemzer, president, VeriTest.

''In launching our Business Software Quality Assurance Laboratory, we've created a serious, professional lab that can handle major business software — whether produced by commercial software vendors like Microsoft or by large Fortune 1000 companies where software is more of a strategic sideline.''
