Frequently Asked Questions
What is the real cost of using many tools?
Fragmented results. When each tool holds part of the picture there is no single view you can trust, and reconciling them takes longer than the testing did.
How should I choose what to keep?
What integrates with your pipeline, not what demos best. A tool that cannot fail a build ends up as a dashboard someone opens after an incident.
Why does sprawl keep growing?
Because each addition looks free. The maintenance, the accounts and the integrations are real work that nobody budgets for until there are ten of them.
