The Hidden Costs of Skipping QA

 In the rush to meet deadlines, QA often becomes an afterthought. But skipping or skimping on QA can lead to costly consequences—both financially and reputationally. Bugs that slip through to production can cause downtime, frustrate users, and damage a brand’s reputation. Investing in thorough QA processes is not just about preventing bugs; it’s about protecting the overall quality and integrity of the product. At The Tester Urge, we advocate for a proactive approach to QA, emphasizing its critical role in delivering reliable, user-friendly software.
