Fast delivery or thorough testing? The hidden costs of wrong priorities.
“Cutting corners on software testing often leads to high subsequent costs” – this is an experience shared by many quality assurance experts in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Nevertheless, software projects have their own dynamics: given time and budget constraints, the best possible result must be achieved. Sometimes time-to-market is more important than full functionality, and often the design of the user interface takes precedence over absolute stability.
By focusing specifically on critical project areas, Economic Testing optimizes software testing – in short: Function follows Budget.
While risk-based testing primarily assesses the probability of damage from errors, economic testing adapts the entire testing process to the given constraints. Here, the focus is not on risk, but on achieving success within the budget.
Clear prioritization through orientation towards real application scenarios – for maximum relevance and efficiency.
Our testing experts speak both the language of the subject matter, and the language of the developers, preventing misunderstandings and increases quality.
Early review of the code with a focus on structure and readability.
Performance tests during the architecture phase to avoid later problems.
Focus on basic functionality and user interface – crucial for early acceptance by future users.
The use of mathematics and statistics allows, for example, tests of mass data, migrations or historically grown data sets to be carried out faster and more precisely.
