Testing is often the most expensive part of the software development process, but is a critical component for a successful release to market.

A successful testing program will:

• Provide management with the appropriate decision making ability.
• Verify that all business requirements are met and function correctly.
• Identify risk, failure points, and potential problems prior to release.
• Identify unforeseen issues that might lead to project failure.
• Identify software defects early in the development process.
• Verify that your product is reliable.
• Aid in releasing a product on time and within budget.
• Reduce the costs of development.
• Provide a better product for your customers.
• Distinguish your product from the competition.

If a successful testing program is not in place, your company may face serious issues ranging from small issues to large scale problems such as:

• Consumer perception of a buggy and unreliable product
• System downtime and product unavailability for your users
• Additional development costs to fix product defects
• Increased customer service costs
• Embarrassing and damaging press reports
• Reduced customer confidence in your product
• Reduction in sales
• Loss of your competitive advantage
• Lawsuits
• Tarnished brand image

Can you afford not to take the time to test your product adequately?
