'I agree with many of the sentiments in this book…. There is much useful material, and the author does highlight various issues affecting quality and offers solutions.. Much of what the author states is true, and will be recognised by any experienced QA and testing person.' British Computer Society Book Review, January 2010
Don’t Be Brainwashed. Take the Prudent Pathway.
The generic players in this scenario are testers and developers. Anyone who upholds quality standards is the tester and the ones who seek to get their products or projects accepted are the developers.
The problem is that those who seek to uphold standards are fighting a losing battle. IT testing is being made into a toothless, ‘rubber stamping’ exercise. In the educational world, the teacher/pupil relationship is being distorted to make the teacher responsible for the pupil’s failings. The quality of the truth is declining in public life. Look, for example, at the infamous ‘dodgy’ dossier which was used to justify the Iraq war. Technology is far in advance of what anyone really needs. How many of the hundreds of cable channels really have worthwhile content? Technology is being developed faster than its users can comfortably absorb it.
The book shows how Quality Driven Development can be used to resolve the conflict between the priorities of ‘the project’ and the sometimes inconvenient truth revealed by formal testing. Find out how to turn Bad IT into Good and enter the glittering City of Quality.
