Quality Acceleration is brilliant! I love it. >In this case, I wouldn't say you absolutely need a full quality team, but having some folks whose primary focus is testing and test a…

A valuable perspective, and brilliantly articulated. The process of software creation and its quality assurance is so intricately intertwined due to the nature of software itself, …
