Why Software Quality Matters

With the increasing importance of software, it is vital that its quality is assured. This depends on attributes such as maintainability (the amount of code to be sustained), reliability (each line can contain defects) and security (with increased importance due to more interest by hackers). In this matter, testing has a fundamental role to ensure that the software is operational and safe under all conditions.

In this presentation, Benjamin Jurg will talk about this question and introduce some testing techniques to help code be more maintainable, reliable and secure, so testers can focus on other critical product quality characteristics like usability and functional suitability.
