But the prices range anywhere from the $2k-$3k range all the way up to $11k-15k range and higher ($18k+). | |

Unfortunately they may be separate from the tech dept that can explain the benefits as well as the costs. If tech can't justify the value of their tools, they will likely be replaced by cheap crappy ones in my experience. | |

| Apr 15, 2022 at 21:52 | comment | added | Fractal | Yes, @JoãoFarias, you might be correct. Where can you ask questions like this? The question 'how can you afford it' isn't opinion based though. Do people use this and this enables them to hire less people? So cost of software over cost of an additional tester? | |
