This article is specifically focused on the cost to business/drag on the economy caused by buggy software. There is a 1-page article on Watts Humphrey which compares him to Deming and briefly describes the SEI. � I think that it would be a very good idea for the members of this forum to write Business Week, or perhaps even get an interview with the authors of this story (what about it, Mr. Riehle? Mr. Taft?), to describe the benefits of Ada. I doubt that the folks at BW know anything about Ada or how it was designed to help this problem; I didn't see any mention of Ada when I scanned this article, but I haven't read it in depth yet. � If the costs of poor quality software are so bad that BW has noticed and devoted a feature article to it, perhaps the tide can yet turn in Ada's favor. � - Michael Card � -- Lockheed Martin Ocean, Radar and Sensor Systems Electronics Park, Building 6, Room 201 Syracuse, NY 13221 315-456-3022 Voice�� 315-456-0441 FAX michael.p.card@lmco.com -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
