Virtualization lets you tackle QA lab server sprawl or insufficient resources to perform needed tests. Engineers can set up multiple environments on shared hardware to improve resource utilization and reduce capital expenditures on servers, networks and storage.

QA engineers can create application libraries that can be instantly provisioned to and drastically reduce the time spent building environments to perform tests. Setup and provisioning can take up to 50% of QA time, especially for complex environments. Reducing this time allows QA resources to be directed towards more productive activities such as finding bugs.

Failures identified by QA can often be hard to reproduce. Snapshotting a virtual server when a software failure is identified allows developers to quickly reproduce problems, eliminating manual work and incorporating into automated test and regression suites.

Good point again, keep in mind that sometimes 60 % of the servers can be development, test and acceptance servers. Saving 33 % on these kind of numbers adds up for any company.
