Assigning a monetary value to Software Quality Assurance (QA) can be challenging, but it's possible by collaborating with various organizational departments to calculate the financial impact of defects. By determining the amount of business lost over 12 months due to defects and dividing it by the number of defects that reached production, the cost of a single defect can be assessed. This metric, known as the Dollar Escape Rate, provides insight into the financial consequences of defects. Doubling the number of validated scenarios before software release can potentially halve the number of escaped defects, thereby reducing the business loss. The Return on Investment (ROI) for increasing the number of validated scenarios can be calculated using a specific formula, indicating that investment in test automation is beneficial. Automating tests can significantly improve coverage and reduce the manual effort required, with platforms like testRigor allowing teams to create regression tests much faster than traditional methods.
