If you are a leader, the people are your work. - Gerald M. Weinberg

• Do you think the outcome of testing will make your decisions for you? Business decisions cannot be made from a purely technical perspective. Certainly use information from testing to color your business decisions, but don't substitute testing for business decisions. For example, it can be a good business decision to ship a system that fails one or more tests. Conversely, it can be a bad business decision to ship a system that passes all your tests. Management has to consider other factors in addition to test results. • Conversely, is there any possible test outcome that would make you change your decisions? If not, why would you want to know the outcome, let alone pay for it?

problem-solving leaders have one thing in common: a faith that there’s always a better way

"There's never an easy answer to the question "Should we do more testing?" because information can guide risk reduction, but doesn't necessarily do so."
