    Best quote from Testing Your Knowledge: Validation Deep Dive

    “

    Quality can't be 'tested in' at the end; it has to be built in from day one through continuous testing and feedback. This shift from asking 'Did we catch the bugs?' to 'How do we prevent them?' can drop defect rates by 80%.
