Indeed, the testing (and QC in general) is something that is

In software and systems integration, good quality control accounts
for a significant proportion of the project's cost, but the extra
quality is difficult to explain and sell to a sponsor.<br>
Sponsors are regularly tempted to spend extra money on features, but
find it harder to justify spending money on something as nebulous as
"less bugs".<br>
