Consumers of today demand quality in the highly competitive retail market where substitutable options are endless. While the pressure to deliver products with very short Time to Market (TTM) continues to grow, product quality can become compromised when critical steps in the development process are skipped.

Moreover, despite spending a considerable amount of time and investment in quality assurance (QA), product returns and consumer complaints are increasingly on the rise without an in-depth understanding of the root cause.
