The document discusses the benefits of automating software testing. It notes that the average cost of a manual tester per day is £115 and the average effort for a regression test is 3 man days. For a company with 20 applications releasing software twice a year, the cost of manual testing would be £27,600 per year. Automating regression testing for one release per year using a tool like WinRunner or QuickTest Professional could save between £11,040 to £19,320 per year depending on the tool. Higher frequencies of releasing and testing would provide even greater savings from automation.

Studie udført i 1980’erne (mener jeg). Hvornår skabes fejlene (de fleste skabes TIDLIGT i udviklignsprocessen) – versus hvor og hvornår findes de typisk. Det vil påvirke omkostningerne til at rette dem.
HP ALM is expressly designed to provide a modern solution to application delivery:So what can HP’s solutions do?It starts with providing comprehensive management and automation solutions for core delivery. This means a single platform for managing the core delivery lifecycle, including requirements and quality management, and robust integration to the developer’s environment. All of this issues from a single platform. Our operating principles for our core delivery solutions are at bottom-right (white).But we don’t stop there. We help customers solve for the complete application lifecycle. This means our core delivery solutions sit at the center of a fully integrated, complete lifecycle solution set. The operating principles for the broader portfolio are at bottom-left (blue).
