Fortunately, bugs are not always amazing and most of the time do not have tragical consequences. Unfortunatly, bugs have always a direct or indirect economical impact for the company in relation with the bug (return of the product to the factory, public image deterioration, additional costs, competitivity decrease, payment of compensation indemnities to the victims, ...).
However, most of the bugs could be detected and avoided thanks to software tests. By the past, software tests were a boring and painful process. But, since the aparition of automated testing and analysing tools, the testing phase is now shorter and easier.
Testing tools help significantly in the implementation of high quality software. With a quicker software testing phase, you are able to respect your delivery time schedul and your costs will drop down.
