Abstract
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." In software, these expressions translate into the common observation that the longer a defect stays in process, the more expensive it is to fix [10]. Moreover software defects are expensive and time consuming. The cost of finding and correcting defects represents one of the most expensive software development activities. And that too, if the errors get carried away till the final acceptance testing stage of the project life cycle, then the project is at a greater risk in terms of its Time and Cost factors. A small amount of effort spent on quality assurance will see good amount of cost savings in terms of detecting and eliminating the defects.
