Is software testing a waste or a necessity?
A limited budget makes software testing the first
thing to reduce expenses on. But improper testing
causes product failure. QA activities that
detect no severe bugs are considered to be money
and time wastes. So, what is testing?

Software Butterfly Effect
Small variation in the initial requirement of a
dynamic application, product or system may
produce large defects in the long term usage of
the system.

Domino Effect
A small change of requirements triggers similar
changes nearby. Every further change initiates a
new one. The process has a linear sequence.

Nobody is on the safe side
A buggy product will never be popular among users
and will never win the market. But a well-known
product such as Facebook may also suffer because
of a software bug.

Testing is flexible
On the one hand, a customer can hire an in-house
QA team and get full control over processes. On
the other hand, a customer can use the services
of independent testing and get an unbiased
evaluation of software quality.

By detecting errors and any mismatches to
specified requirements, software testing
minimizes the risks of product failure. Make
sure that a small bug cannot ruin your product.
Perform software testing!
