  • Problems with automation and test data management

Consequences for quality and business

  • Unclear or incorrect test coverage
  • High manual effort and delayed error corrections

Specific examples: why testing matters

Millions lost in 45 minutes – due to a lack of expertise

At Knight Capital Group an incorrectly configured module triggered trading errors costing millions – in less than an hour.

  • Cause: lack of testing knowledge and error analysis, poor or non-existent test design
  • Consequence: recurring errors, high follow-up costs and long-term loss of quality
  • Our solution: strengthen technical expertise in the test team, introduce structured reviews, and ensure test reusability.

Billion-dollar project destroyed – due to lack of coordination

NASA lost the Mars Climate Orbiter due to a unit conflict caused by a lack of coordination between teams.

  • Cause: no consistent processes, lack of coordination between testing, development and operations
  • Consequence: arbitrary test coverage, interface problems, inefficient tools, and lack of traceability
  • Our solution: establish uniform test processes and clear role models from requirements to operations
