The value of testing
summary
Argues a concrete way to quantify testing by measuring cost of change and ease of change, advocates shift‑left practices and defect prevention rather than vague benefits, cites using a test pyramid and test strategy as the tooling, and gives a real example where engineers find four critical issues and are coached to escalate them so stakeholders act. Ends with evidence that early reporting increases confidence and stakeholder engagement and references ISTQB framing for the measurement approach.
