Escaped bugs can break more than your code—they can break the bank, too.
In this episode of Test Case Scenario, Jason Baum, Evelyn Coleman, and Marcus Merrell break down the connection between software quality and business impact. They talk about how to approach postmortems, why some features matter more than others, and how technical teams can align their work with business goals.
You’ll also hear real-life stories of bugs that cost companies millions and learn practical tips for balancing technical needs with business priorities in industries like retail, finance, healthcare, and government.
