Testing Distributed Systems

by John Viega, John McManus

Software robustness is a problem that everybody cares about but that few people address in their products. The average software project has several weeks devoted to testing, mostly in the weeks before deployment. Of course, most software ends up behind schedule and over budget, and testing is the first thing to be reduced or cut. Thus, a lot of commercial software has only a couple of days of testing before it is shipped.
