"Avoiding a bug is more cost-effective rather finding it later and fixing"
"Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort." -- John Ruskin
Bill Gates recently said of Microsoft "We have as many testers as we have developers. And developers spend half their time testing. We're more of a testing organization than we're a software organization."
