Question

The cost of fixing a fault for a software product identified during the implementation phase is approximated at $32,000 USD. How much would the same fault cost had it been identified and corrected during the analysis phase (approximate $ amount)

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of fixing the software = $ 32,000 USD

Recalling the formula for calculating post design stage = Cost x 3

= 32000 x 3 = 96,000

Now the cost would be:  

Cost = Post Delivery Cost x (Relative Design Cost/Relative Post Delivery Cost)

= 96000 x (32000/96000)

= 96000 x 0.3333

= $36,000 USD
