- 12. /35@yegor256 Zerocracy 12 Glenford Myers: “despitethe plethora of software testing tomes available on the market today, many developers seem to have an attitude that is counter to extensive testing. Testing is the process of executing a program with the intent of finding errors.”

- 16. /35@yegor256 Zerocracy 16 John D. McGregor:“Being a good tester is harder than being a good developer because testing requires not only a very good understanding of the development process and its products, but it also demands an ability to anticipate likely faults and errors.”

- 27. /35@yegor256 Zerocracy 27 Rex Black: “Suppose,though, that you could estimate the total number of bugs in the system under test. Or, perhaps you could measure the bug-finding effectiveness of your test system. There are three techniques for solving these problems…”
