Our opportunity to save some serious money is at the point of time when we really start believing that this is true. Of course, we know that it’s true, but in the end there is never time to do it right but always time to do it over. There is a reason why most companies don’t feel this pain as much as they should. At Remain Software we like to call this the “post-bug cost calculation”. There is not even a well-known expression for it because we never calculate how much a bug has actually cost us (did you ever do it?)
