Would you fly on an airplane if your company designed its software?

I remember a funny Dilbert cartoon series where the Pointy-Haired Boss’s company won the contract to redesign the U.S. air traffic control system. Dilbert and his colleagues immediately invested their life savings in a bus company.

That brings up the question:

Do you trust your architects, your designers, your programmers and your testers — and their management — enough to fly on an airplane running software written by your team? Would you bet your life against the quality of your code?

That’s the question asked by Edward J. Correia in this week’s edition of Test & QA Report. You’ve gotta read the story.
