Most organizations treat testing as a necessary evil—or a bottleneck that slows down delivery. In a modern approach, however, quality is a measure of process efficiency and a way to control losses.
“Quality is прежде всего a measure of your process efficiency or a measure of loss (…) and ultimately, it all comes down to money.”
This material will help you assess whether your IT investments are building real value—or simply masking growing technical debt.
The Golden Rule of Project Economics: The Rule of Ten
A key takeaway from NASA engineering: each subsequent phase of a project in which a defect goes undetected increases the cost of fixing it tenfold.
- Defect detected during analysis/design: $100
- Defect detected during development: $1,000
- Defect detected after release (in production): $10,000 – $1,000,000+
Business takeaway: Quality is not a cost—it’s insurance against exponential expense growth.
“Quality allows you to determine how much of your production time is actually wasted. In other words, time that should be your profit has, for some reason, become your loss.”
