In conclusion, with software development times being shortened, and development budgets always under the threat of severe cutbacks, it is tempting to save time and money by doing “less than exhaustive” testing. But doing so can severely compromise the quality of the software that is created. And as any seasoned IT professional will readily attest to, it is easier, more cost effective, and much less pressure to fix bugs in a testing environment rather than in software that has gone live. A product such as “TestTrack TCM” can be of enormous assistance in helping you and your development team to deliver quality, bug free software on time and within budget.
