From my experience with modern software and services, the actual practice of QA has plainly atrophied.
In my first gig (~30 years ago), QA could hold up a release even if our CTO and President were breathing down their necks, and every SDE bug-hunted hard throughout the programs.
Now QA (if they even exist) are forced to punt thousands of issues and live with inertial debt. Devs are hostile to QA and reject responsibility constantly.
Back to the OP, these things aren't calculable, but they'll kill businesses every time.
that's not the role of QA to be a gatekeeper, they give the CTO and President information on the bugs and testing but it's a business decision to ship or not
Totally feel this. We're trying to fill that gap with Autonoma (https://www.getautonoma.com/), open-source AI agents that run E2E tests in real browsers without needing to write or maintain test scripts.
