In my group, I see a lot of very expensive problems that could have been avoided with better quality at the front end of the process...more emphasis on getting requirements right and unit testing.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4585201738600758310/25245999287594426/comments/default/9027119992166955674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4585201738600758310/25245999287594426/comments/default/9027119992166955674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.theautomatedtester.co.uk/2008/11/testing-through-credit-crunch-part-1.html?showComment=1227452340000#c9027119992166955674' title=''/><author><name>Marlena Compton</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16415917485163679823</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.theautomatedtester.co.uk/2008/11/testing-through-credit-crunch-part-1.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585201738600758310.post-25245999287594426' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4585201738600758310/posts/default/25245999287594426' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585201738600758310.post-8917580409790275622</id><published>2008-11-21T17:05:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-11-21T17:05:00.000Z</updated><title type='text'>Yes, indeed, Exactly.

I think a lot of the testing should be happening way before the code gets written, back when the requirements are defined. Even in an agile methodology the story starts when the business wants something (a requirement) and a lot of potential defects can be avoided by having someone with the attributes of a tester being involved in the initial discussions. I'm looking forward to Part 2 of this, so don't take tooo long!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4585201738600758310/25245999287594426/comments/default/8917580409790275622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4585201738600758310/25245999287594426/comments/default/8917580409790275622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.theautomatedtester.co.uk/2008/11/testing-through-credit-crunch-part-1.html?showComment=1227287100000#c8917580409790275622' title=''/><author><name>Liz</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.theautomatedtester.co.uk/2008/11/testing-through-credit-crunch-part-1.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585201738600758310.post-25245999287594426' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4585201738600758310/posts/default/25245999287594426' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
