Real Quality Assurance from an Agile and Lean Viewpoint
summary
Argues QA means engineering not just testing and gives concrete numbers and tools: regression testing often catches only 15–30% of bugs while well run inspections catch 45–70% and a combination of many inspections and tests reaches about 95%; defect prevention prevents roughly 50–70% of defects before they exist. Demonstrates methods — a planning language, an impact estimation table, and specification quality control inspections — used at Intel, Citigroup and Boeing with reported large defect reductions and big productivity gains.
