At some point in time, the Entire organization is going to realize that
there are MANY people in the 'unofficial' Quality Assurance' organization.
When it comes to the bottom line, the more scrutiny that the entire package
has, the better it is.
If it ain't right, it ain't right.
The DoD did a study.
Addressing 'defects/anomolies' during development costs $50 cents a line.
After deployment - $4000.00 in costs.
I like bonuses based on good performance and a successful products.
In some organizations the Tech Writer/Documentation group has 'final sign
off'.
