Fixing Errors in Deployed Code is Resource Intensive

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) estimates that fixing a flaw in a production application costs 25 times as much as it would if the flaw was prevented by better design during the requirements phase and 6 times as much if it were found during the coding phase. Much of this cost will be down to the manual effort required to make the modifications by IT staff and roll out patches to all installed instances of that software. Avoiding that effort reduces costs and leaves staff free for more productive activities. If programming staff are well trained, they are less likely to make errors in the first place, so the first action towards producing more secure code any organisation should take is a review of its staff training program me.
