Is software testing practice meeting industry needs?

Software testing is the most important way to ensure / quality control software. The tests are expensive and generally considered a nuisance. But as we know, is a necessary nuisance. Good practices throughout the development process contribute to the quality of the final product, but only testing can demonstrate that quality has been achieved and identify problems and risks that remain.

Points to justify that tests software to meet the practical needs of industry --

* The cost of an error found using inspections, tutorials, reviews, modeling and testing is much smaller than an error in testing.

* To correct an error found during a test implies rework, which might go far back into the development cycle

* The sooner the fault is cheaper is correct

* Not everyone can try as well, using professional testers

* The testing phase enables a fresh look to submit the application to a series of "real world" outside the formalities of the test followed by the development team

* Comments / Return of the verifiers of the development team to improve performance of applications and ease of use

* Implementation of standards of good practice is part of the ongoing commitment of industry professionals with the paradigm of continuous improvement.
