The cost of fixing an error or a bug in an application increases as it progresses into its life cycle. If a defect takes 2-4 hours to be fixed during initial technical design stages, the time and consequently the cost, rises as much as ten times if the bug is fixed after production & deployment. It is easy to see why high quality testing and not just a casual approach to testing is crucial to your software and the business that uses it. The risks associated with inadequate software testing and consequently insufficient quality are getting higher with greater degree of applications joining hands and 'talking to each other'. Proper software testing has to account for maximum possibilities and be able to provide manual/automated tools to deliver a highly tested application. Effective software testing is one of the most powerful actions that an organization can take to control and minimize these .
