In 2012, I wrote a blog post entitled “Delivering provably-correct code.” ” In it, I suggested several approaches developers could use to gain high confidence that their code would be suitable for release. This is not an isolated case, and most of what passes for research in software engineering is horrible.

People who specialize in testing software will need technical skills more-or-less on par with competent software engineers. This may be a consequence of rushing the work. There’s a desire for rapid delivery. ” This generally results in more bugs delivered in less time. There’s just no getting around it.
