A CIO’s pain….a software tester’s gain?

My first initial thought was “great, maybe more testers will be hired to make sure crappy software isn’t released” followed swiftly by “I wonder if any software testers had their wage packages affected because they didn’t find the June bug?”

I’d be interested to see what the Commbank test team makes of this!
