July 2002 Cutter IT Journal -- Confronting Complexity: Contemporary Software Testing

by Cutter Consortium

Scientifically thorough testing is prohibitively expensive for complex products like software. As a result, software testing is always a compromise between theoretically perfect and "it didn't blow up, so ship it." In this issue of Cutter IT Journal, we debate how we can make software more reliable without breaking the bank. How much testing is "enough" when software is increasingly critical to so many products and services? Is testing really just an exercise in risk management? Join us for the first of two issues on this vital topic. Remember: what you don't know about software testing can kill you.
