QA testing is a major part of a software development strategy, as it’s there to ensure software works as intended: securely, reliably, and bug-free. Many successful companies consider it indispensable. Still, others may find it unnecessary, often opting to skip QA in favor of investing assets into other parts of business development. And while it’s true that every business is singular and has unique needs, skipping QA often leads to an increase in post-release bugs, poor user experience, security risks, and ultimately damage to the brand’s reputation.
