Application development takes a lot of effort. Everything has to be thought out from the beginning to the end, every process has to be understood, realized, and then an app should be marketed. Quality control may seem like a fifth wheel that drains your resources, but bugs in an app are easier to prevent than to patch around. Besides, there is a chance that a client would give up on your app if it’s flawed. So it’s very important to pay more attention to testing.
