TaaS uses a single currency across all testing services – Professional Service Points
The TaaS model allows you to use Professional Service Points for the exact testing services you need, at the time you need them. It reduces fixed costs and allows you to scale the testing team up or down based on need. The exact cost of a Service Point can depend on the location and the type of service it’s used for

Approach to scaling up and down
Use TaaS when you need to quickly scale your team up or down, prepare for events like Black Friday, go to production, and more. If you need to change the testing scope, EPAM should be given a 30-day notice. This applies to all testing types, except for Exploratory/Crowd Testing which can be organized ad-hoc
