A single error can cause death or injury if it fails in case of safety critical
applications.
An AA Jet crashed in Colombia (S.A) because the captain entered an
incorrect one-letter computer command that sent the jet into a mountain
killing 158 people aboard.
NTSE fined TD Waterhouse Investor services US$ 225,000 for its web site
failures – inability to file on-line stock orders and inadequate customer
service.
A flaw in their ‘ticket bidding’ software made United Airlines to fly patrons
for US$ 28 from San Francisco to Paris.
Ariane 5 was remotely destroyed within 40 seconds of launch causing a
loss of US$ 500 million because of a wrong exception handling.

BEEN AVOIDED IF
METHODICAL TESTING WAS

4. Why do Testing / QA ??? – inefficient testing
Question - So can anybody do testing ?
Answer - Yes
Anyone can do testing. ‘Type in’ anything which could cause an error.
Give any inputs to the application under test.
- A concept called monkey testing !
BUT
Will this bring out most of the errors ?
Can the tester confidently tell that he has tested the entire application ?
Can he reproduce the errors he found out during testing ?
Can he test the application without domain knowledge ?
– many companies hire end users to do testing, but that’s not so
effective.
When will he stop testing for the application ?
Will the application perform well when its used by many users in
production?

6. Industry trend/ focus on testing
Even though the IT sector as a whole may be in the employment doldrums,
jobs in software test and quality assurance have remained steady.
Wayne Middleton, CEO and publisher of a leading software quality
magazine, says, "I see a resurgence of demand in software testing careers.
I have seen business go up 50% from 2001."
Middleton cites Microsoft as an example. "For every one developer they
hire, they hire one software tester as well."
Middleton believes that in the next few years, there will be an increased
need of QA testers in the areas of consumer goods and financial services.
They also see an increase in testing of wireless devices, such as cell
phones and hand-held organizers.
