Jerry Weinberg on Perfect Software [AgileThinkers.com]

Clark Ching of AgileThinkers.com recently interviewed Jerry Weinberg about the concepts behind his new book, Perfect Software: And Other Illusions About Testing. Jerry comments,

"Perfect software is indeed impossible, and even if we had it, we'd have no way of knowing. The Laws of Thermodynamics tell us why it's impossible, but that doesn't prevent lots of people from believing it's possible -- just like many people believe perpetual motion machines are possible.

"The book elaborates on this and many other illusions about testing -- why people continue to believe them, what kinds of trouble they cause, and what can be done to mitigate that trouble."
