Testing Distributed Systems

by John Viega, John McManus

Software robustness is a problem that everybody cares about but few people address in their products. The average project has several weeks scheduled for testing, mostly in the weeks before deployment. Of course, since most software ends up behind schedule and over budget, testing often gets shortchanged. Most companies will cut into testing time before they'll move a launch deadline. Thus, much commercial software gets little more than a couple of days of testing before it is sent out into the world.
