How do you save money by testing continuously throughout the development life cycle? How do you specifically compute the amount of money saved by injecting specific amounts of testing early in the life cycle? Why are defects introduced early and found very late the most costly to remove? Why are so many people still think testing is done as a single life cycle phase? We'll also cover the importance of both verification testing and validation testing     

The Focus. This practical, IT based Testing WEBinar shows the economic value of doing testing of computer software continuously throughout the development life cycle, not just during the execution-based testing phase.  

While many practitioners understand this principle in concept, they are unable to explain the value of this to their management.  This WEBinar demonstrates how to verbalize this savings in economic terms, which is the language of management: the dollar! 

“There are those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those that don't know what's happening”   -- Quality Assurance Institute

You can complain, yell, and scream all you want:  It's dollar savings that get management's attention!

With respect to defects, if you don't put them in, you don't have to get them out.  You don't have to make them, find them, or fix them.  Catching defects early in the life cycle saves a lot of money.
