English for IT: Unit 5 ex. 1.2. Choose one of the quotes and agree or
disagree with it. Justify your choice.

I definitely agree with Dave Parnas’ quote: “As a rule, software systems do
not work well until they have been used, and have failed repeatedly, in real
applications.” This is often a specific issue for the production of safety-critical
computer program. For the most part, numerous uses and numerous failures are
required some time recently a product is considered reliable. Few can argue
against the need for quality control when developing program. Late delivery or
program defects can harm a brand’s reputation — leading to frustrated and lost
clients. In extraordinary cases, a bug or defect can degrade interconnected
frameworks or cause serious breakdowns.

Though testing costs money, companies can save millions per year in
development and support if they have a good testing technique and QA processes
in place. The sooner development teams receive test feedback, the sooner they
can address issues such as:

 Architectural flaws
 Poor design decisions
 Invalid or incorrect functionality
 Security vulnerabilities
 Scalability issues

That is why testing software is really important for each IT-compony, as

sometimes a system that meets or even exceeds customer expectations leads to
potentially more sales and greater market share.
