Overview
The Real Cost of Missing Testing
Shocking statistics from the IT market:
- 67% of projects launch with production defects
- On average, 23 critical bugs reach production every month
- The total cost of an average live defect: 4.2 million HUF
- Average time to fix a production bug: 38 hours
- 82% of customers do not return after a major failure
Testing as a Strategic Investment
Cost multiplier effect:
Cost of discovering a defect at different stages:
| Phase | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Requirements phase | 1× |
| Design phase | 5× |
| Development phase | 10× |
| Testing phase | 20× |
| Production (early) | 100× |
| Production (late) | 1000× |
| Customer impact | 10000× |
ROI calculation example:
Project size: 50M HUF
Testing cost (20%): 10M HUF
Without testing:
- 15 production bugs/month × 4.2M HUF = 63M HUF/month
- Customer churn: 20% = 100M HUF/year
- Total loss: 150M+ HUF
With testing:
- 2 production bugs/month × 4.2M HUF = 8.4M HUF/month
- Customer churn: 2% = 10M HUF/year
- Investment: 10M HUF
- Savings: 130M+ HUF
ROI: 1300% in the first year
Our Methodological Approach
We don’t guess — we plan:
- Risk-based testing – start where the risk is highest
- Requirements traceability – every requirement is tested
- Test coverage metrics – measurable coverage
- Continuous testing – not only at the end, but throughout
- Shift-left approach – the earlier, the better
Who We Work With
- Software companies seeking an independent QA partner
- Enterprises where quality is mission-critical
- Startups that can’t afford failures
- Legacy systems with little to no documentation
- Regulated industries requiring validation and auditability
