Chasing Bugs In the Electronic Village by James Gleick

Microsoft Word is most widely used software across the globe. But at the same time, Users have experienced many issues in this software.

I have come across an article Chasing Bugs In the Electronic Village by James Gleick. This article was published in 1992 & James shares his views on chasing issues in WinWord.

Top Five Reasons You Don't Have Testers

Software Testing & Quality is overlooked and it's quite common to see buggy software in the market. Some of the projects ship software without even having dedicated testers & in some other projects due to budget constraints there are less resources.

I was browsing through Joel on Software site and come across this Joel on Software - Top Five (Wrong) Reasons You Don't Have Testers: article.

As per Joel Perspective the reasons are
  1. Bugs come from lazy programmers.
  2. My software is on the web. I can fix bugs in a second.
  3. My customers will test the software for me.
  4. Anybody qualified to be a good tester doesn't want to work as a tester.
  5. I can't afford testers!
