Customers should not be your QA early warning system.
Most developers first hear about defects from users, and even worse, some report that it happened on social media. One negative review online can have a significant impact on your company and potentially future customers. That is why we say “Keep Your Software Out of the Headlines®.”
The productivity cost to developers
Developers say bug fixing makes them feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and burned out. Many developers spend 10 to 20 hours each week hunting and fixing defects. More than half of developers would rather use this time to build new features. Additionally, when developers have to spend time testing, schedules slip, and team morale suffers.
Certified testers change the equation
Test managers report that broad use of the ISTQB body of knowledge and its glossary improves communication and efficiency across teams. Additionally, shared terminology reduces misunderstandings in requirements, test design, and defect reporting. Certified professionals apply proven techniques that raise defect detection while reducing rework. That means fewer escapes to production, fewer public incidents, and less developer time lost to emergency fixes.
A straightforward ROI
Let developers focus on creating value. Let certified testers lead structured test planning, execution, and analysis. You get faster releases with fewer defects and a calmer team that spends more time building what customers want.
