FrontEndART — Professional testing: from planning to production

FrontEndART’s comprehensive software testing service covers the full spectrum of quality assurance – from early planning to production monitoring. Our approach goes beyond bug hunting: it’s strategic quality assurance that creates measurable business value. With methodological rigor, automated testing infrastructure, and an independent, objective mindset, we ensure your software runs reliably and efficiently. Experience shows that every dollar invested in testing brings a 10–100x return through avoiding production bugs and preventing business losses.

Overview

Professional testing: from planning to production

The real cost of missing testing

Shocking statistics from the IT market:*

80% of bugs originate in the early development stages, but 90% are detected only in production
An average of 23 critical bugs reach production every month
The average cost of a single production bug is 4.2M HUF
A single critical software bug can cost 1.5–5 million USD including downtime, customer loss, and repair
Average time to fix a production bug: 38 hours
82% of customers do not return after a serious issue

*Based on reports by QualiTest Group (2021), IBM Systems Sciences Institute, and “The Cost of Poor Software Quality in the US” (2020)

Testing as a strategic investment

Cost multiplier effect

The cost multiplier effect shows that the later a defect is discovered in the development process, the more expensive it is to fix. If the issue is detected during the requirements phase, the cost of correction is only 1x the base value. In the design phase, this increases to 5x; during development, it can reach 10x; and in the testing phase, fixing the defect may cost around 20x more. If the bug is found in the production environment at an early stage, the cost rises to 100x, while late discovery in production can make it as high as 1000x. If the customer experiences the issue, the cost of correction can skyrocket – up to 10,000x the original cost.

ROI example:

Project size: 50M HUF
Testing cost (20%): 10M HUF

Without testing:

15 production bugs/month × 4.2M HUF = 63M HUF/month
Customer loss: 20% = 100M HUF/year
Total loss: 150M+ HUF

With testing:

2 production bugs/month × 4.2M HUF = 8.4M HUF/month
Customer loss: 2% = 10M HUF/year
Investment: 10M HUF
Savings: 130M+ HUF

ROI: 1300% in the first year

**Our methodology: ** We Don’t Guess, We Plan

Risk-based testing – we start where the risks are highest
Requirements traceability – every requirement is tested
Test coverage metrics – measurable and objective coverage indicators
Continuous testing – not at the end, but throughout development
Shift-left approach – the earlier, the better
