The Cost of Poor Software Quality in the US

From Problem to Solutions

The cost of poor software quality in the U.S. is at least $2.41 trillion, according to the Consortium for Information & Software Quality™ (CISQ). Their biennial report, "The Cost of Poor Software Quality in the US," identifies three problem areas driving up this cost and three corresponding solution areas.

 

The three main problem areas impacting software quality are

 

  • Cybercrime losses due to software vulnerabilities
  • Software supply chain issues in underlying third-party components
  • Technical debt (the biggest obstacle to updating existing codebases)
