Quotes by Michael T. Nygard  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Software design as taught today is terribly incomplete. It talks only about what systems should do. It doesn’t address the converse—things systems should not do. They should not crash, hang, lose data, violate privacy, lose money, destroy your company, or kill your customers.”
― Michael T. Nygard, Release It!: Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software

“Most testers I’ve known are perverse enough that if you tell them the “happy path” through the application, that’s the last thing they’ll do. It should be the same with load testing.”
― Michael T. Nygard, Release It!: Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software

“First, nothing is as permanent as a temporary fix. Most of these remained in place for the next year or two.”
― Michael T. Nygard, Release It!: Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software
