ACM News Service: Survey – Formal QA Process Key to Improve Testing Results. This is a distillation of a research survey, and it is a little difficult to figure out how these things slice and dice. The bottom line is, “More than half of the 129 execs who rigorously adhere to a formal QA discipline said such a strategy was very effective at winnowing out defects prior to implementation.” To put this in some sort of perspective, “about two-thirds of the 32 percent of respondents who saw massive gains in application quality consistently apply a formal QA plan.”
