Stamping
the Seal of Quality on Your Software
Software
testing consumes 40 - 50% of the time and effort in most
software development and maintenance projects. Yet, the
testing process is not well planned, has much wasted effort,
and doesn't ensure the quality of the software products. Even
worse, if the software effort is behind schedule, much of the
planned testing is aborted, and the delivered software is only
half-tested, which creates enormous risk. The quality of the
ultimate software product depends on the thoroughness and
effectiveness of the software testing.
