Abstract :
After a year in Sunnyvale, California, doing test management, the author is moving to Virginia, where he´s been hired by Reliable Software Technologies, a company known for tools and consulting dedicated to achieving very high quality software. He´ll spend most of his time in a consulting role, which is a very different reality from software management. But it will be an interesting one, nonetheless, especially since he´s never worked in an environment that puts reliability ahead of marketability, or even abreast of it. He´s known for his Good Enough quality model, so it may seem strange that RST recruited him. But as it turns out, RST believes that a very high reliability standard is-for them-just part of good enough quality. The same thinking about quality applies no matter where one places oneself on the quality scale: at every point in the life cycle, one must compare the present quality of the product against the cost and value of further improvement
