Using CARS to Reduce Time-to-Market: A Compuware Application Reliability Solution Business Case Paper

Overview IT managers must balance the business demands with the budget realities, and it's keeping them up at night.

Reducing or eliminating testing resources may directly translate to application downtime, delayed production schedules, and increased bugs in released applications. The first step in making a business case for implementing a quality solution, based on the need to lower costs, is to categorize the potential business costs that an organization faces if it continues with its current application development and testing practices.
