It is rightly said that ‘Quick response is much more appreciated than a delayed response’. The statement is somewhat true that deliverables shipped too early before the timed deadline may contain bugs, however the uncertainty of finding a bug later depends entirely on the quality/skill set of the testers, how effective was the QA plan and/or policies followed by them, which include internal reviewers and QA engineers appointed and responsible for reviewing completed deliverables and sign-off. And if QA tasks are completed before and/or on time, covering the entire product as expected, then this cannot be considered as a negative point.
QA objective is to ensure that the requirements are met and the project's needs are being matched to what the client desires. QA team when involved in the development process from the onset of a project through maintenance, they know which area to focus more, and which scenarios to apply. Also, there can be the case when signing off a product too quickly leaves a positive impact on the client and the customers. This stands true when client is also expecting QA sign off as soon as possible so that they can start with succeeding milestones as well.
Ship quickly may ship bugs as it's easy to commit mistakes if time is less for thorough testing. It also depends on the criticality of the product and how you handle your testing efforts. There is always a possibility that your product is vulnerable to bugs if you if don't have enough time for planning a testing strategy.There are sometimes certain deadlines for the product delivery and a tester often doesn't get much time to test the application efficiently. So, it is a sure responsibility of a tester to deliver a quality product to the customer in that given time or he can ask the client to extend the product delivery time. But if the tester is not confident about the quality of testing he has performed, he has surely left some bugs in the application. So it is better to the complete the testing by extending the working hours or can ask the client to extend the delivery date of the product so that he gain the confidence about the testing he has done and give a quality product to the customer.
Sometimes due to shortage of time, testers try to complete the testing in hurry and eventually leaving bugs in the deliverable. Due to less time given for testing, it is hard for the testers to think of out of box or negative scenarios or in some cases they may even miss some positive scenarios. A tester should have enough time to understand the requirements and test the product so as to provide a quality end product.
