Are late-stage defect discoveries derailing your project timelines and budgets? A common challenge in many projects is the tendency to delay testing until everything is fully developed. This approach often leads to late discovery of defects, which can disrupt timelines and inflate costs. At Acutest (Part of Trustmarque) we advocate for the "Fail Fast" principle to counteract these issues. Here’s what it means: 👨💻 We test parts of a solution as soon as they are ready, avoiding the pitfalls of late-stage testing. 👨💻 Our process includes static reviews of requirements and designs through workshops, catching potential problems early. 👨💻 We conduct early software testing using harnesses to simulate incomplete components, supported by automated smoke testing and thorough root cause analysis. The benefits of this proactive approach include: ✅ Defects are found earlier, giving more time for resolution. ✅ The cost of addressing defects is significantly reduced. ✅ There’s less rework needed to address missing requirements, including non-functional needs. Partnering with Acutest (Part of Trustmarque) means adopting a proactive, early-testing strategy that keeps your projects on track, cost-effective, and high quality from the start.
