TTH White Paper

Time to Market Vs Quality

An eCommerce company got their entire portal developed through some freelancers and tested and deployed the same. The portal worked well for a week, but then it started slowing down until it finally crashed. Reasons for the crash were unknown to the company and the freelancers who developed it. It took us a two-week study to identify the software code issues and the WebApp Server configuration issues. Post that, the portal was up and live again and restored the business volumes.

It is pretty often that business requirements necessitate rapid development and deployment and usually, there are calculated risks taken to enable the launch. When these risks are related to security, scalability, configuration, audit tracking or others, there might be no mitigation plan to review the code and fix the issue.

So the question that arises is, what is more important? Time to Market or the Quality of the Code. We often discuss this point with the customers who come to us with these challenges. And more often than not, it just turns out that the basics cited above are compromised as calculated risks.

On an ongoing basis, when things are going well and the rubber has already hit the road, software upgrades and patches are not done in time which might again impact the software’s uptime and the business.

What is optimal in software?

• They are coded with security, for example, OWASP top 10 security coding standards.
• The Functional requirements like volumetrics are catered.
• Technology Selection meets the business requirement.
• Sub-optimal In-house customisations.
• Stability, Performance & Security aspects are all addressed
• Bug-Free Code – Customers see what is right!

What if a Software Clinic could:

• Fix quality issues due to inadequate testing
• Identify and fix the coding errors which lead to frequent software crashes
• Fix the configuration issues in the environment
• Do a VAPT and fix your security issues
• Configure your hardware and software and optimise it to work to scale
• Suggest Architectural shortcomings and solutions to fix them.

As per our experience, these are common issues, and 33% of businesses fail due to them. While the intent is never to build inadequate systems, quite often, the software's vision is compromised with incomplete requirements, wrong prioritisation, developing adjunct patchy software instead of fixing the core issues and inadequate testing.
