When it comes to software testing, people disagree quite a bit. Some argue vehemently for a particular point of view, while others consider that very position nonsensical. For example, the "zero defects" crowd generally thinks the "good enough quality" crowd is out to lunch -- and vice versa. The different camps have different pictures in their heads, different frames of reference and implicit assumptions. A big part of what's important in debates about software testing (and, by extension, software quality) is what goes unsaid because the speaker considers it obvious.In this issue:- Software Testing: A Field in Transition

IT and other operational managers often dislike the idea of outsourcing activities in their areas of responsibility. The reason for this seems pretty clear: outsourcing invites the possibility of added complexity, loss of control, and operational risk. Of course, outsourcing can result in all these things. But it has been a long time since most businesses were completely vertically integrated -- that is, since all company activities were performed internally.In this issue:- Business Process and IT Outsourcing: The Momentum Mounts
