why Software Testing is Important to a business?

Developing any product with available technology may not be a big deal if there is not money involved. A physical product may not work or fail to work in some situations and fixing the same may not be anexpensiveissue. Software or websites is different than physical product but still both need testing in a controlled manner with proper processes at all level of development of product. A Quality check is important at any stage of the software development and that is why Quality Assurance or Processes are also important.

Going through the software evaluation history you could discover that a small bug cost a million dollar losses even some time life. Identifying the bugs in the software is as important as development and timely delivery the software. Defects can be only identified by performing testing of software and active involvement of the tester in the project. Product Quality can be maintained only when you have applied proper testing and quality measures.

A defect always impact to all who may be involved as end user, working staff, service provider and creator of the product. This impact may or may not be measurable or compensable.

Software testing is a process used to identify the correctness, completeness, and quality of developed computer software.Testing is required for an effective performance of software application or product. It’s important to ensure that the application should not result into any failures because it can be very expensive in the future or in the later stages of the development.

arly detection of defect always cost less. Testing of software is important as it…
