When a business considers quality and testing issues and the need for skills and resources, it often makes the mistake of assuming that all consultants, technology teams and projects are run with the strictest quality and testing standards and guidelines. Nothing could be further from the truth. If a business pays little attention to quality and testing processes, it stands a good chance of learning an expensive, painful and time-consuming lesson!The right quality and testing processes, methodologies and standards can mean the difference between success and failure in application development and, most certainly, in the crucial arena of software product development. There is no room for a misstep in this arena and if there are significant issues, the business will lose customers and is unlikely to get a second chance to convince the market of its application or product stability and dependability.
