Setting the Standard

  Catch Problems Early, Save Resources Later
Testing early and often helps identify issues before they snowball into costly disasters. In software development, for example, a bug caught in the design phase might take minutes to fix, but one found after launch could cost thousands in downtime, repairs, and lost customers. The 1-10-100 rule illustrates this perfectly: preventing a defect costs $1, fixing it during development costs $10, but addressing it post-release can cost $100 or more. Thoroug
