About the ebook
In 2024 alone, global brands lost hundreds of millions due to flawed releases, broken updates, and performance failures. The pattern is always the same: testing was underestimated, rushed, or treated as a final checkbox.
Whether it’s a $100M revenue loss for a premium audio brand or a global IT outage grounding thousands of flights, the cost of cutting corners on quality is always higher than the price of doing it right.
Using real examples, this ebook explains what QA means across the entire software development lifecycle. It shows how testing strategy is built through risk analysis and supervision, why the testing pyramid matters for business stability, and how manual and automated testing work together in practice. You’ll also see how QA influences architecture decisions, performance under load, accessibility, and compliance.
The message is simple: quality is not about slowing teams down—it’s about preventing expensive surprises later.
