A few months ago I talked with the VP of Engineering for a $50+M software producer whose flagship product, Buckflow (not its real name), was in serious trouble. His team had followed the same Quality Assurance (QA) routine for a few years without running into serious problems, but customer deployment of their last upgrade, which contained patches for 20 customer-reported problems, had resulted in an uproar. At a few sites, Buckflow would not initialize. At another site, a key workflow management tool had been disabled. More patches were scheduled, and a major dot release was scheduled to come out in the summer.

The EuroSTAR blog  came into being in March of this year and is now packed with many interesting insights on various aspects of software testing – we hope that those of you that regularly read its entries enjoy doing so and that those who read it now appreciate it as a resource.
