UnverifiedThe cost of fixing vulnerabilities grows exponentially as development progresses, with the cost of detection and remediation during the coding phase being far lower than during the testing phase or in production.75% similarUnverified左移测试的理念源于软件缺陷修复成本随开发阶段呈指数增长的经验法则74% similarUnverifiedThe cost of replicating software is declining, and mere feature replication will find it increasingly hard to constitute a moat; software value is migrating from 'what features are implemented' to 'what is layered on top of the features' (data, ecosystem, reliability, compliance, user experience, iteration speed).72% similarUnverifiedThe earlier a bug is seen, the more likely it is to be fixed; the probability of fixing an ordinary bug decays exponentially over time, but the risk of a security vulnerability accumulates and compounds over time.72% similarUnverifiedIn enterprise software procurement, license fees are often only a small portion of total costs, and the complexity of implementation is the key factor determining project success or failure.69% similar
