Lessons of the McAfee False Positive Fiasco
- Mathnerd314 17y agoIt's missing a lesson: don't use McAfee
- hga 17y agoWho tests the testers? According to Wikipedia, XP is the most widely used OS and SP3 shipped two years ago. It's pretty unforgivable not to test against this configuration, although as I read it XP SP3 most likely slipped through the cracks (and who knows what else) when they changed their testing setup rather than their deliberately just not testing against it at all. For a product where testing is so critical and there are so many configurations to test, it would make sense to automate the confirmation of the full test suite rather than depending on eyeballs. That's the sort of thing computers are good at, after all.
