You don’t have to look far for some interesting news this month on high profile companies, which are suffering from the ill effects of software defects. To be sure, this is a trend we’ll be reading about for the foreseeable future.
Because of software’s inherent intangibility and the increasing complexity of the processes that software seeks to automate, defects will almost always surface. The trick to combat this unfortunate trend is to make defects surface earlier.
By implementing practices like Continuous Integration, which encourage software visibility during the development lifecycle, you can dramatically increase the likelihood that defects will be found earlier.
- Do you want to find defects earlier?
- Are you wondering how to enhance your current processes without losing focus on business objectives?
Consider taking a look at our Kickstart assessment service-- we provide an objective measure of your current software quality processes so that you can make tangible, metrics driven improvements that lead to fewer defects and increased productivity.
We're pleased to announce that Stelligent’s CTO, Paul Duvall, has started a new series of articles focused on software development automation dubbed "Automation for the People"-- check out his first article on Continuous Inspection in our Featured Article section.
In October, Washington DC plays host to the VERIFY Software Test Conference, which Stelligent will be sponsoring; moreover, both Paul and I will be giving presentations during this exciting two day event. If you plan to attend, consider dropping by our booth!
Sincerely,
Andrew Glover
President, Stelligent Incorporated
