• Slow QA processes

• Test time is limited by the productive capacity of each person

• Shorter "time to market" is mandatory

• Clerical mistakes on routine tasks, script date entry

• No evidence or back up on testing process or errors.

• Loss and lack of equipment

• Lack of controls during the testing process
