Things that make you go Hmmmmm

[Andrew Meit]

I rather deal with a software company who is open and direct about their bugs and bug database. For me, feature set is just one reason to get the software, the other is timeliness and thoroughness on handling reported bugs stated publicly and certainly privately too! The classic 'trade secret' argument is too much CYA and often just BS. And the sad cliché 'testing is drain on the budget' is just plain ignorant about how valuable testing is.
If someone is going to pay/invest good money and time into a software tool, then they have the right to know well its being maintained. One of the interesting things is how much a company is willing to invest in QA. Stability is a lasting impression that sometimes takes years to repair!
I do hope with the huge donations, QA for LC gets what it needs -- now. Really!
