Software testing is arguably the least understood part of the development process. Through a four-phase approach, the author shows why eliminating bugs is tricky and why testing is a constant trade-off.

Countless hours doubtless went into the careful testing of hundreds or thousands of variables and code statements, so how could a bug have eluded such vigilance? The answer requires, first, a closer look at software testing within the context of development. Second, it requires an understanding of the role
