A Common Misconception: Software Testing Is Too Expensive

Software testing is something all companies should perform before releasing software products to the world.

• Unfortunately, many companies choose to forego software testing prior to putting out software products because of the perceived costs associated with it.

These companies falsely predict that software testing will be too costly; however, the plain truth is comprehensive quality assurance is often achieved for just a few thousand dollars – a mere fraction of the cost to develop the product.

You really cannot afford to pass on testing your software if you want to make and keep your customers happy.

• Pre-launch quality assurance helps you avoid costly post-launch fixes.

Whereas there are almost always going to be software defects that pop up once people start using software, you should do whatever you can to limit the number of bugs in your software prior to launch.

Software testing companies like Beta Breakers carefully review every aspect of your software, find problems you might not even be aware of, and clearly report them to your devs. Failure to take this step greatly increases the likelihood of downstream costs associated with quick fixes and lost reputation.

Given the fact that user experience has become a driving force for quality reviews and product purchases among consumers, you should not overlook the proper testing aspect of your software products.

Regardless of what type of software your company creates, you should have testing done to ensure it works the way it is supposed to once your customers start using it. You should also carefully consider the consequences your company could face if you skimp on software testing and decide not to have it done.
