Buggy Software Is Costly
from the need-better-testing dept
A new study confirms what most people already knew: buggy software is costly. The study says that buggy software ended up costing people nearly $60 billion last year (hey, wait, isn't that about how much Bill Gates is worth? Hmm....). The study admits that it's impossible to get rid of all bugs, but that better testing procedures could at least cut down these costs by approximately a third.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
