What Happens When QA Enters the Room Early
In most of the teams, QA comes into the picture only after the development work is "done." Testers receive the final build, run through edge cases, find bugs, and send everything back to the developers for rework. While this process can work, it often leads to unnecessary delays, missed edge scenarios, and last-minute firefighting before release.
But when QA is involved from the very beginning of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), the results are completely different. Early collaboration not only improves quality but also reduces development time, cost, and effort.
