Nice concise read. I think many lessons are well known but not acknowledged. For a high quality product...Test a lot, experienced people, do things in house.
Meanwhile software industry is... Ship to prod ASAP, hire junior devs to reach head count, outsource to overseas and contractors.
I realize the risks are different... But management gets pissed when software causes financial lost and wonder why.
- orzig 8y agoOne systemic problem is that the ownership and management of most companies shifts significantly over a 15 year time span, whereas the people designing a new NASA program know that they (or people that they care about) would be picking up the pieces if they are sloppy. I wonder whether family owned companies are closer to NASA in their testing/hiring practices?
