Analyse Software Testing Effort/Budget in SDLC from The European Software Testing Benchmark Report 2022

Software projects’ growing efforts and budgets on Software Testing

The European Software Testing Benchmark Report 2022 was released.

The proportion of the SDLC Spent on Testing:

38% think 51+% of SDLC is spent on Testing.

“This shows that testing and quality assurance are slowly becoming more of a priority for businesses all around Europe”.

Please note that 12.3% of professionals are spending 71% — 90% of the SLDC on testing (and 1.2 % for 90+%).

In this all-time classic software engineering book (50 years ago), the author spent 50% of a software task on testing. How top programmers work has not changed.

In my previous articles, I stated that I spent ~70% of the whole SDLC on Test Automation and Continuous Testing, in return, I gained 10X+ productivity (compared to myself when working as a senior Java contractor). Some readers found it hard to believe. Now, you can see that I am not alone.
