Quote by Boris Beizer

“Anything written by people has bugs. Not testing something is equivalent to asserting that it's bug-free. Programmers can't think of everything especially of all the possible interactions between features and between different pieces of software. We try to break software because that's the only practical way we know of to be confident about the product's fitness for use.”

“Quality is the complex concept. Because it means different things to different people, it is highly context-dependent. Just as there is no one automobile to satisfy everyone's needs, so too there is no universal definition of quality. Thus, there can be no single simple measure of social equality acceptable to everyone. To assess or improve software quality in your organization, you must define the aspects of quality in which you are interested, then decide how you are going to measure them. by defining quality in a measurable way, you make it easier for other people to understand your viewpoint and relate your notions to their own. Ultimately, your notion of quality must be related to your business goals. Only you can determine if good software is good business.”

“The phrase 'the fossil record' sounds impressive and authoritative. As used by some persons it becomes, as intended, intimidating, taking on the aura of esoteric truth as expounded by an elite class of specialists. But what is it, really, this fossil record? Only data in search of interpretation. All claims to the contrary that I know, and I know of several, are so much superstition.”

“Le modèle urbain parisien/haussmannien offrant un indice de marchabilité notablement élevé, les spécificités des tracés parisiens génèrent ainsi un urbanisme propice aux pratiques piétonnes, de courte distance. Pourtant, l'une des ambitions premières du modèle haussmannien était, par les percées, de créer un urbanisme de longue distance, C'est donc par le maintien d'une maille au découpage fin 'malgré' les percées, et par la hiérarchisation des voies de circulation, que le modèle haussmannien répond simultanément à un urbanisme de longues et de courtes distances.”
