Testing Fundamentals - Why Software Testing Matters

Consider this simplified cost multiplier for fixing bugs at different stages:
Requirements: 1x, Design: 5x, Testing: 10x, Production: 50x
If a bug costs $100 to fix during requirements, how much will it cost if found in production?

A$500

B$1,000

C$50,000

D$5,000

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify cost multiplier for production
The production stage multiplier is 50x the requirements cost.
Step 2: Calculate production cost
Cost = $100 * 50 = $5,000.
Final Answer:
$5,000 -> Option D
Quick Check:
100 * 50 = 5000 [OK]

Quick Trick: Multiply base cost by stage multiplier [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Multiplying by 10 instead of 50
Confusing production with testing stage
Incorrect multiplication
