QAOps: A Software Testing Trend

Talking about development these days, streamlining the entire software development lifecycle turns out to be an extreme hustle. Especially, when you need to ensure the product developed should meet all the defined guidelines, right from the framed requirements to ensuring early and successful deliveries, quality often takes a backseat on the way to creating sustainable technology.

As per a recent article by Forbes, poor-quality software costs organizations $2.8 trillion in the U.S. alone, according to the Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ). This means a product made with sacrifices on the quality aspect often turns out to be a shortsighted delivery strategy that ends up business and developers with the havoc of long-term troubles. Luckily, software testing has always emerged as a sustainable practice that has helped brands across the globe to yield technologies for life.

Will Our Software Bankrupt Us? [Interview]

In this interview, Jeff and I talk to Herb Krasner about his recent study, "The Cost of Poor Quality Software in the US." We ask him about what lead him to this research, he walks us through some the of key insights, and we discuss if the notion that we may not be able to afford the software that runs our business.  You can listen to the full interview here.

Pete Pizzutillo: Herb, thanks for joining us today.  But before we get into our discussion on "The Cost of Poor Quality Software," you have a rich background in software engineering and research; can you walk us back as to how you end up here?
