Testimonials:

"Software deployment without professionally developed comprehensive testing is enterprise mission roulette without an opportunity to win." -- Daniel Kaberon, Hewitt Associates, Director, Enterprise Systems Engineering

"Testing has evolved into a critical software engineering discipline, with it's own distinct practices, tools, and challenges. Companies have entire organizations dedicated to software testing and quality assurance. Graduates skilled in this discipline significantly increase their own marketability." -- Scott Loveland, Chief Architect, IBM Customer Test

"No amount of outage time is acceptable for our clients. Increased software quality is a critical aspect in minimizing and eliminating that outage time. Strong software testing practices can increase that quality." -- Richard Prewitt, z/OS Test Design and Architecture, IBM

"Reliable software has become critical in the information economy.  Well-publicized failures from both industry and government have underscored the need for mission-critical software, whether sold commercially or created in-house for an enterprise’s private use, to withstand harsh conditions.  Before it sees the light of day, software must prove its reliability under a white-hot beam of rigorous interrogation.  It must be poked and prodded, squeezed and stretched, trashed and torn.  In other words, it must be tested." -- Scott Loveland, Geoffrey Miller, Richard Prewitt, Michael Shannon, IBM
