Much like DevOps, quality assurance is a "plug-in" to your Agile business processes, and represents an organizational and cultural shift within your development team. With the correct approach, software can be constructed from the very beginning in a way that makes it easily testable and that avoids common flaws by means of defensive coding. In a way it is a problem of building quality into your product from its inception, rather than just verifying the quality after everything has been implemented.
Correctly implemented, QA processes stop bugs and even security vulnerabilities in their tracks as early as possible. The cost of remediating a software flaw becomes progressively higher if the flaw is discovered later in the development lifecycle, or worse, in production.
We strongly advocate for automating QA from small unit tests all the way to broader end-to-end and system tests, as well as adapting Agile methodologies to include quality assurance within the various stages of the development lifecycle.
