Quality Assurance Done Well

Testing as much as possible—and doing it in a very formal way—is a great way to guarantee a system’s availability. Dozens of studies over the years have clearly shown that the more thoroughly you test (and the more formal your QA procedures), the fewer software problems you will have. Many companies foolishly skimp on testing, which has a huge impact on system reliability and availability.
