Abstract :
Software quality professionals can learn lessons from many sources, some seemingly unrelated to software. NASA??s painstaking approach to learning from their mistakes in the field of aerospace is a shining example of the quest to find errors with finding fault. Especially in the areas of quality inspections and testing, software professionals can learn from the Columbia tragedy and the NASA approach in general.
