The vast majority of software bugs, especially those related to requirements, design and logic cannot be found. The level of intelligence required to find these software quality errors simply does not exist in most organizations. While internal reviews are the only certain way of effectively eliminating the majority of defects, they are typically viewed as tedious and time-consuming by developers. They are often completed with little attention to detail, allowing errors to exist longer into the development lifecycle.

This white paper details the typical defect removal process that exists within most organizations. Explore the standard internal review process and the ROI and effectiveness associated with this method. Discover the importance of developing formal testing and quality assurance processes to identify and eliminate common bugs prior to release to the customer. Learn the substantial costs associated with doing little or nothing to remove such defects.
