A compelling study by Tricentis, published in June 2025 and analyzed by renowned media outlets such as Infobae, Revista Economía, Gestión, and Sección Noticias, reveals that software failures are causing multimillion-dollar annual losses for Peruvian companies.


Key Figures from the Study

  • 40% of organizations estimate losses between USD 1 and 5 million per year.

  • 42% report losses between USD 500,000 and 1 million.

  • Financial Services (54%)

  • Public Sector (50%)

  • Retail (43%)

  • Energy (39%)

  • Industry (35%)


Identified Causes

  • Speed Pressure: 76% of companies implement code changes without conducting thorough testing.

  • Latent Risk: 78% of Peruvian companies experience software-related disruptions at least once a year, compared to the regional average of 68%.

  • Small Businesses on Alert: Among companies with 150–249 employees, 87% fear disruptions in the coming year.

  • Internal Barriers:

    • 38% due to pressure to deliver faster

According to Tonatiuh Barradas, Vice President of Tricentis for Latin America: "Quality and speed can go hand in hand when AI is part of the process."

What Does This Mean for Your Company?

These numbers are not just statistics — they represent lost opportunities in reliability, reputation, and productivity. Each disruption comes with hidden costs: lost team time, customer service failures, and a significant loss of trust.


Final Reflection (For SMEs and Medium-Sized Businesses)

If you run a company with 50 to 250 employees, you probably feel the pressure to launch new features quickly. But this report teaches us something crucial: Speed without quality is an expensive mistake. The good news? You don’t have to face all the risks alone — a technology partner can support you.

What can you do?

  • Look for developers who can implement automated testing processes and AI-driven interventions.

  • Keep your software up to date as part of a preventive, not reactive, strategy.
