“Some people mistakenly refer to software defects as bugs. When called bugs, they seem like pesky things that should be swatted or even ignored. This trivializes a critical problem and fosters a wrong attitude. Thus, when an engineer says there are only a few bugs left in a program, the reaction is one of relief. *Supposed, however, that we called them time bombs instead of bugs.* Would you feel the same sense of relief if a programmer told you that he had thoroughly tested a program and there were only a few time bombs left in it? Just using a different term changes your attitude entirely.” BusinessManagementTeam BuildingManagement And LeadershipSoftware TestingSoftware Quality Assurance Book:Reflections on Management: How to Manage Your Software Projects, Your Teams, Your Boss, and Yourself Source: Reflections on Management: How to Manage Your Software Projects, Your Teams, Your Boss, and Yourself
