How do I convince management that we need a formal QA department?

Question

Can you give me some points for convenience my management that we need a QA department or QA outsourcing company?

Answer 1

If is a good management, we dont need convince him, because He should understand that it's important in the software cycle.

but if He is not, I would only say, 'if we dont have a QA department, the issues in production will be more expensive than those you will find in QA department'
