Cost of Not Testing Benchmark

 

Statistics compiled by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) show:

  • 23% of users say that their work was interrupted at least once a day.
  • 20% of users state that they spend up to one hour a day solving IT problems
  • Based on survey results and statistics compiled, the CBI concluded that IT problems cost £3,250 per person per year.
  • Since 9 million people in the UK have a PC at their workplace, this translates into a national cost of £30bn!

 

Many companies launch without thorough testing, hoping everything will work perfectly. They may have spent vast resources on obtaining hugely powerful web, application, and database servers yet still be unaware that a bug in the system will cause all to fail at launch. Even after initial testing and launch, many sites or applications continue to fail as demand increases. Victims of their own success, these sites or applications have not put the forward planning in place to know at what level they will fail - and what they will need to do to remain successful.
