A new white paper by International Data Corporation (IDC), found existing software quality approaches at most companies are inadequate to address the internal and external costs of software defects. Sponsored by Coverity, the IDC white paper “Improving Software Quality to Drive Business Agility,” found that development organizations find major problems with their software even after quality assurance and spend significant amounts of effort and time to repair those defects. Depending on organizational size, respondents from the IDC survey indicated that the costs of debugging are significant, reaching up to $22 million each year for some companies.
