Why opensource?

Guido Serra — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 13:04:42 +0000

Start from a specific situation: you are on a tight schedule, with pressure from management to approve or prove an issue on the software release being tested, and the counterpart R&D team blames you that the metrics are wrong. Actually, you check the application and they are right… looking into the source code u see the bug, u fix it, and within hours u are back on the main business, finalizing the testing activity. Now, what would have happened with a proprietary testing tool? You couldn’t have checked the code. You would have had to argue with the ur R&D team about the existence of the issue, and with the vendor on the other side. Project would have been delayed or QA totally skipped, with all the risk it takes having a potentially broken release in production. Is it worth the money of the proprietary tool? I preferred to convince my management to spend in R&D resources in my team, and get a solution we could trust. It has proven to be a good choice
