There are drawbacks to relying only on pen testing. Pen testing is only as good as the pen tester and may miss vulnerabilities. In addition, pen testing requires a running application and occurs late in development. The cost to fix a vulnerability increases the later that it is found in the development lifecycle. In the case of pen testing, additional time is typically required to trace a security flaw back to the affected line of code.
