Arnab Kumar Datta

Challenges  Lack of hallway-usability testing: might often be 1-2 developers in total. These are often the same people as the coders.  Bug database : not enough people in- house to maintain it properly.  Project milestones not being met

Solutions?  Before version 1.0 (official release), release your software as freeware :  Lots of potential customers and testers  Your testers can report bugs, which can then be assigned to developers.  Ship daily builds to fix bugs quickly.  Adopt Microsoft’s zero -defects policy  Fix old documented bugs before writing new code
