Software Developers; Test Or Risk Being Sued!
Software Developers Beware, Test Or Risk Being Sued!
Peter Brown is the founder of Nightside Test Design - a Fast 50 testing company offering NZ exporters and manufacturers professional test services that cover the full product development lifecycle. Services include software testing, production testing, embedded development, industrial control, measurement and data logging.
Software testing has become a discipline on its own, independent of developers. Its aim is to find and fix bugs created by programmers, requirements and changes in a complex environment.
A recent US report cited that bugs and glitches cost the US economy about US$59 billion a year, and indicates that improving software development processes and testing could save about US$22 billion (37%). Exporters can protect themselves against possible litigation by those who may wish to hold software vendors liable for buggy software.
At our next event, Peter will explain why it's important and cheaper to get the job right first time. He says, "Testing is comparing the ambiguous to the invisible, so as to avoid the unthinkable happening to the unknown."
