But a well-known product such as Facebook may also suffer because of a software bug.
Nobody is on the safe side

On the one hand, a customer can hire an in-house QA team and get full control over processes.
On the other hand, a customer can use the services of independent testing and get an unbiased evaluation of software quality.
Testing is flexible

By detecting errors and any mismatches to specified requirements, software testing minimizes the risks of product failure.
Make sure that a small bug cannot ruin your product. Perform software testing!
