About Company

Defective software can result in lost clients and users, fallen business processes, revenue impacts, security breaches or regulation violation. These risks grow as organizations increase their dependency on software. To mitigate these risks, testing and QA have become an essential part of the success of every software project. Unfortunately most testing and QA miss the critical business context, and instead just focus on the obvious technical risks. This approach does not take into account the bigger picture and does not look at the interrelationship between software testing and business risks.
