"The average customer of the computing industry has been served so poorly that he expects his system to crash all the time and we witness a massive world-wide distribution of bug-ridden software for which we should be deeply ashamed." Edsger Dijkstra, Communications of the ACM, vol. 44, no 3, March 2001

Software is often realised as being over budget, over time and non-reflective of customer's requirements. In a trade off between these three factors, software often fails to measure up to any of them. Sceptics within the industry would argue that it is impossible to deliver the required software on time and within budget. Often it is judged that the best way to improve software quality is to identify and rectify faults in the maintenance phase.
