The days “of good enough” quality assurance for
software products are long over – today’s mission-critical
IT products and services need a thorough quality assurance
certificate to gain customer confidence and loyalty.
With the increasing complexity of today’s software
solutions – the sophistication required for testing
of software applications has grown manifold.
Short-term budget constraints in most IT development companies
often obscure the long-term cost benefits of in-depth testing
– quality control is often compromised by the need to
keep costs in control and under pressure to make time-to-market
releases. Studies have shown that costs associated with post-release
bug detection and fixing are about 16 times more than costs
incurred when testing is conducted in early phases of development. |
