Software defects are no longer minor technical issues. They represent serious financial risks with wide-ranging consequences. In today’s digital economy, applications drive revenue, customer engagement, and operations. Because of this, even a single defect can trigger failures across multiple systems.
A small issue, such as a delayed API response or incorrect transaction logic, can quickly escalate into lost sales, compliance risks, and reputational damage. Even minor defects, when left unchecked, can accumulate into millions in losses as they affect critical systems.
