In the 1960s, IBM introduced System/360, a legendary mainframe computer purpose-built to be modular and compatible with any task. The cost and time it took to build were just as legendary: around 1000 employees worked on the system for ten years and the original budget of 25 million was increased to 5 billion. That situation was typical of the 1960s. Programs took ages to build, companies hired excessive numbers of engineers to speed up development, but the pool of qualified programmers was limited, and they soon ended up with low-quality, bug-ridden software.

What do you say about today? Testing became more than a routine task; it earned the title Quality Assurance, which also includes planning, monitoring and control. And what about the fastest growing areas in QA today?
