Microsoft Tests its software on an industrial scale.

A while ago I posted this already but the link got lost. So here is the link again.

read this article to see how Microsofts tests whidbey.

Some key points :

  • 105,000  Test Cases
  • 505,000  Test Scenario's
  • 1.4 testers for every 1 developer

On the bottom of the article there is a very nice link of how MS handles bugs etc.

 I also think this is why MS will always have an advantage over open source stuff.... The open source stuff just doesn't have these test facillities.....

"I also think this is why MS will always have an advantage over open source stuff.... The open source stuff just doesn't have these test facillities....." - it's called the community ;)

Betas and RC's are put into the public for this purpose.
