Why Catching Bugs Early is Critical

Did you know that fixing a bug in production costs 100x more than fixing it in the development stage? Many companies overlook early testing, only to pay the price later.

Real-Life Expensive Software Bugs

💰 Amazon (2011): A software glitch sold thousands of items for one cent, causing major losses.
💰 Apple Maps (2012): Incorrect directions and missing landmarks led to bad PR and user frustration.
💰 NASA (1999): A simple unit conversion error destroyed a $327 million Mars mission.

How Early Testing Saves Money

✔ Shift-Left Testing – Test software in the early development phase.
✔ Continuous Integration (CI/CD) – Automate testing to catch issues early.
✔ Test-Driven Development (TDD) – Write test cases before writing code.

🚀 Conclusion: The earlier you test, the less you pay for mistakes!
