Referring to ancient teaching...ignorance is not a bliss...
अग्निशेषमृणशेषं शत्रुशेषं तथैव च | पुन: पुन: प्रवर्धेत तस्माच्शेषं न कारयेत् ||
अग्निशेषमृणशेषं शत्रुशेषं तथैव च | पुन: पुन: प्रवर्धेत तस्माच्शेषं न कारयेत् ||
A fire, a loan, and an enemy must be finished
or doused completely, as it is uncertain when and how they will come back to haunt
you.
If we understand this through a Business
Analysis perspective, the efforts to fix the requirement defect is 20 times
higher if it is accomplished in the development/coding phase and the same is
almost 100 times more if it occurs during the user acceptance test (Boehm,
1981). So, this negligence could cost a bundle and put the project in jeopardy
in terms of budget and schedule.
If the error goes undetected in a user or live
environment, the loss sometimes can't be imagined; for example, if the bug goes
undetected in software used for life-saving equipment, it might cost a life (or
lives) in worst cases, or a small bug in the transactional application might
potentially cost a few millions.
So, friends, it would be more effective if we
train our team to catch every defect, irrespective of the size, at the early
stages to avoid additional efforts and costs associated with it in the future.
In case the defects require replacing or fixing as part of the solution in the
user environment, train your team to address them as soon as possible before they
become too big to handle.
This proactive culture must be part of the
induction-training program. If the organization provides it, customize this
training at the department level and, in absence of this topic, introduce a new
session on it that can be provided at the end of the induction-training program
when an employee joins the team. It will be more effective if it is introduced
at the beginning, as it can become part of the employee work-DNA and,
potentially, it could save millions in terms of efforts, cost, and reputation.
